Some really good puzzles but, at times, it really was not logical as to what to do with answers to puzzles. The space was used really well but this room is also very search heavy, which was a little tricky in the dim lighting and a 6 and a 9 year old in tow. We were recommended this room as kid friendly but our 6 year old really did not like the final section of this room.
Loved this room - great puzzles I haven’t done before and a fantastic theme Harry Potter fans will love. The host was too forward with clues, not allowing us time at times to think about what we needed to do. At one point we were told a door had opened behind us.. we hadn’t even had chance to turn around but the door was wide open and unmissable. At times we were stuck and appreciated the help, but this was for trickier puzzles. The room was a little worn in places but overall I’d highly recommend this magical room.
The most beautiful escape room been in. Fully immersive and amazing puzzles. 100% recommend for a Harry Potter fan

If you’re still waiting for your letter to Hogwarts to arrive in the post (dw, the owl’s just been a little delayed I’m sure it’s on it’s way), then playing Wizarding School at Breakin’ is the next best thing. It’s a three-room escape room experience where each room represents a different area of the wizarding school and takes you on a narrative journey not too dissimilar from The Chamber of Secrets.
Having asked around for the best Harry Potter room in the UK the best HP room found on our itinerary the best HP room on our itinerary that could take in 6 people, I brought the gang to this London venue right before we left town.
With these constraints piling up, it won't come as surprise that this room probably was our least favorite of the whole trip. Take it with a grain of salt, though.
