The online games that are really special are the ones that just can't be done the same way in real life. This is one of them. Super fun and challenging. Definitely best with a team of 4.
I haven't done many escape rooms, but I love puzzles. I booked this for myself and a few coworkers as a team building exercise and I highly recommend it! This room was challenging, but not impossible. It took us about 2 hours to escape successfully. I was concerned about the virtual experience not being as engaging but it was absolutely awesome. Sam, our host, did a great job guiding us with verbal cues if we were really stuck and overall the experience was so fun. The puzzles were not typical and the whole experience was very well rounded and expertly designed.
This is my favorite existing physical escape room translated to an online experience. The Vanishing Act has very slick video transitions into the room experience, the remote host does a great job leveraging in room elements to help you solve and the room leverages the online platform to facilitate interactions between the players while solving. The actual room has high production values, strong puzzles and some unique physical elements that they managed to recreate online. Highly recommended!
Really excellent game. Good integration of cut scenes, so that both the intro and outro were unusually cool. It is strongly recommended that you play with 4 different devices, because each device is sent different puzzle elements for several of the puzzles. This meant that we had to be really intentional about working together, which was terrific. Some quite tricky puzzles, with some imaginative elements, and good integration with the theme. Among the best remote escape rooms we've done (out of about 40).
- We played The Vanishing Act over the weekend and it kicked butt. Seriously, this was my favorite virtual room so far. Summer and her team did an awesome job!
Loved this room. One of the best I've done. Lots to do, some clever puzzles I've never seen before, and slick use of video, with a good back story. Highly recommend.
Can't wait for them to be able to open their in-person rooms again but in the meantime, they've created a magical remote version of The Vanishing Act that is so so good! Hands down, the best Zoom call we've had during lockdown!
A 90 minute adventure delving into the magical world that is dressing room of Noximillian the magician. Inventive puzzles which require team participation and teamworking, along with some lovely theatrical moments and well designed and built rooms. A great play.
Reviews by escape room review sites
We've played remote games before where prerecorded video elements were quite obvious and made the game play quite difficult to follow. In this game, you won't even notice what parts were prerecorded and what was live. Lucurio did a great job stitching the two together seamlessly.
The puzzles were designed to work smoothly with the inventory system and that made the experience felt like we're playing there in person. Although we rather much play there in person, this was definitely gratifying for the time being. So gather a team of friends and try to solve this magical mystery (with a little twist) now!
The Vanishing Act is a live video adaptation of a real Escape Room. The game started with an outdoor video sequence in front of a theater, which let us enter the story in a believable way.

In real life, I'm sure The Vanishing Act is a decent, good-looking room, with well-designed puzzles. But the remote experience goes one level above, through seamless prerecorded sequences and a number of puzzles being fully integrated in the game's interface.
Overall, The Vanishing Act is a perfect transitioned physical room to the remote world. The use of the most advanced & comprehensive inventory system we’ve seen so far in the virtual escape room world, mixed with the detailed story and illusion of where present live game starts to where it ends, Locurio have it covered. We loved every part of the experience and that is why it has rated so highly! A massive thank you to our games host who played Sam, as he brings the room alive with his acting over the course of the 90+ minutes of suspense, panic and frantic puzzle solving.
