Amazing, expansive room, with a great split start and some really amazing surprises. Quite hard for a team of two, we overran but they let us keep going as we had said we wanted to see the whole game.

This experience was elevated by our GM. Great intro and experience in room relaying to our team name. Attention to detail. Funny comments back and forth too. 

The room is clever and fun. The spell system is playful and it was enjoyable to play throughout. There is still a reliance on basic lock mechanics’s which is a shame. We have seen similar done in Europe and probably stands out more than this. Overall still a very good experience.

We've been waiting to do Tulleys for years and it definitely lived up to all the hype. Absolutely brilliant room with fabulous decor and great puzzles. We don't usually play as a six anymore and while it gave us more puzzle solving power at times it was a little bit cramped. That said, other than the start there wasn't many puzzles that one or another of us missed out on. Definitely the best executed "wow" moment of its type that I've experienced in other rooms.

This was our favourite room at Tulleys. The effort that has gone into the sets and the way the story progresses through them is second to none in the UK. There’s absolutely tons to get through and there’s some great mechanics for puzzles in there that we’ve not seen elsewhere.This is the largest and technically best and most diverse room we've done to date. These rooms are really challenging as a small group though with so much to do.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Spellcraft is the fifth of Tulley’s full-size escape games, and shares much with the first four: it’s huge and impressive and slick, and packed with enough puzzles that even experienced teams will have to scramble to complete it in time. But while the house style and quality remains a constant, the company continues to try new things with each new game.

The first surprise was to find that we’d be divided into two groups, working for good or evil respectively. An escape room is a fundamentally c...

Yesterday was finally the day of our Tulleys marathon. We played Mutiny, Spellcraft, Dodge City and Nethercott Manor in that order (unfortunately we haven’t played Outfitters). I will focus mostly on Spellcraft, since it was the one that has blown our minds the most, but I will use this review as an excuse to talk a bit about each game. For those that want some tldr version – Tulleys is the place to go in UK and Spellcraft is the room to play in my opinion.
The magic added something to the immersion. Nethercott is possibly still my favourite, and Mutiny might still be Liz’s, but objectively SpellCraft might be one of Tulleys best. The magical elevator taking us places, and then revisiting other rooms, and the twistyness of everything gave it a level of mystique

However, it was unlike any magic room I’ve done before, and has truly earned its place at the top of many lists. Firstly, you can tell from the waiting area that the set and story are going to be completely different from any other magic room. There are no “wizard school” or 4 “magical houses” that happen to be primary colours…
