Deep within the walls, an ancient formula lies incomplete, its power locked away for centuries. To uncover its secret, you must venture through a series of hidden trials and recover three powerful artefacts, each protected by puzzles, mechanisms, and long-lost magic.

Only when all three items are united can the Elixir Vitae be restored. Time is against you, work together, think creatively, and prove you have what it takes to escape. Will you succeed in restoring the Elixir… or will its secrets remain hidden for good?

quite easy

I really loved the puzzles in this room but there just wasn’t enough for us to do. Think this is the quickest escape room we’ve done anywhere and it was such a shame as the puzzles we did and the theming was good but we just got through them too quick as a group of six (4 adults and 2 12 yr olds)  would have loved  to have a bit more to do!

A lovely room that is beautifully themed with a lot of attention to detail.  A very satisfying range of puzzles both physical and mental that kept us both on the go for the whole time.  Break Escape use space creatively to provide an ever changing route through the puzzles.

I defy anyone not to enjoy this room, it's a real treat. Our GM, Ben, was superb - obviously paying keen attention to us throughout the three rooms that we did on this visit as his clueing was spot on and delivered with an appropriate dash of humour.

Break Escape are well worth a trip to either branch, can't wait until they open a new room!

Great use of space, range of puzzles and a neat little framing device that tied everything together. Enjoyed how this room naturally flowed into the other magical one, and how it could also be played in versus too.

Brilliant variation on the He-who-shall-not-be-named-because-copyright theme. Some nice puzzles, one element we had not seen in an escape room, and excellent hosting from Georgie. If you're in the area, do not miss this room!
