Tucked away lies a mysterious hidden shop… and at the very back, a sealed vault few have ever entered.
Rumours speak of a legendary sword locked inside protected not just by heavy security, but by something far more dangerous. Strange symbols, scorched markings, and the distant sound of wings suggest the vault is guarded by dragons.
Do you have what it takes to reach the vault and escape with the sword before time runs out?

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.

Break Escape Nottingham have lived up to the company’s Loughborough reputation, with a solid offering of games. The Sorcerer’s Sword is a fun and satisfying game, particularly if you’re a fan of the wizarding world.
