Grand School of Sorcery is an ambitious escape room that falls just short of greatness. The setting is big and immersive, and the puzzles are varied, but the experience is ultimately let down by a few flaws. Puzzles are challenging but fair, and the atmosphere is truly magical, however, some puzzles come accross as illogical and frustrating, and the final challenge is incredibly anticlimactic. Yet again there was an occasion when the host had to enter the game to fix problems with a puzzle. This broke the immersion and seems to be a common issue at Escape Room Centre. Finally, clues are given over a speaker system, which is often of poor quality. This makes it difficult to understand the host, and often lead to us asking them to repeat themselves which was annoying. It's not quite Hogwarts, but worth checking out for a fun 90 minutes.

Easy room except two puzzles. Standard wizardry room with a couple of stand out points.
