I played this with 2 strangers which makes it harder but remember not having enjoyed it.
Reviews by escape room review sites
There’s not much to say about this game really. I wanted to love it, but I ended up just loving that it ended. The ‘wow’ feature was cool, but we’ve seen it done better elsewhere, and the lack of signposting left our team frustrated.
As a whole, despite my praise, I did feel the room was a little flawed. Especially compared to the Wizarding World game we followed it up with. It could have been it didn’t quite click with us, but there was something a little off about the gameplay flow, the individual puzzles, and the overarching narrative. I also, unfairly, can’t help but compare this room to Escape Plan’s Pushed For Time which is another time-travel themed escape room in the centre of London with a very similar gimmick at the core.
It was quite a few years between pre-ordering our tickets and trying the game so we were very keen to play this new concept. Did we enjoy the game? Not as much as we had hoped, especially after waiting so long to play it.
The lack of signposting and illogical puzzles made the whole team frustrated. The inability to hear the hints, made the game play especially bad for myself. The lack of a grand finale didn’t help either.
