At the magical exam you will have to solve a lot of puzzles. Find the wand.

The host was very nice but did not give us much of a story to go on. Solve puzzles - find a wand and then you are done. The room itself was old and worn. We liked the magic theme and you could tell that love had gone into making the room, but that was years ago and now the few tech puzzles were broken and the rest of the flow was "open lock to find key".

The room was handicap friendly other than being located in a basement and it had a few steps up to the room itself. A wheel chair user could navigate the whole room if they could get into it. 

The room had three nice moments that we will remember, but the rest of the puzzles were too cheap and worn to be noteworthy. Also the room was very short and almost no story. It was a magical room, so Harry Potter featured, but they used names of spells as potion names, which was annoying. Lots of missed opportunities and what was really lacking was the feedback or soundscape. When the room is so worn we don't trust any tech and a bit of visual or audio feedback could have helped. We actually bypassed a puzzle that we didn't notice - but the host let us back into the room to see it. We were told that the place had recently gone to a new owner, so we hope they fix it.

We paid 895 DKK for the room and that is more than most great rooms we have played. For that price it was a ripoff, but it wasn't a bad experience. We enjoyed all 38 minutes of it.
