This is a really good fun room with some clever twists and effects. Very light on padlocks.

Hosting by Cerys was spot on, thank you for giving us such a great time.

Lots to do but even more to admire in the set dressing, very authentic and a much better take on the theme than we have seen in other rooms.

All of the rooms at Break Escape Nottingham are excellent and this is no exception. Well worth travelling to!

Carrying on our mega-weekend at Nottingham, first room of the day but seventh overall and third at Break Escape. 

It was a fun room with a nice set with a few magical moments. Found some of the puzzles a bit difficult to get started with which was frustrating.

Played a lot better magic rooms but have definitely played worse as well.

Accessibility: steps up to the rooms. Need dexterity - crouching/climbing for a couple of elements.

Clearly gaining some inspiration from another wizarding franchise this a fun game in the centre of Nottingham.  Puzzles are mostly electronic in nature with a couple of clever observational ones thrown in.  Theming is good if a little basic in places but had some nice touches that brought a smile to my face.  I enjoyed Break Escape in Loughborough and a lot of the same nice touches were present here as well.

Truly magical atmosphere and beautiful presentation with some nice surprises. Great variety of puzzles, although one we knew what to do but none of us was able to get the correct answer - maybe that little bottle at the game's climax needs reviewing? Really lovely host who gave us a nudge when we needed it.
