Enigma Quests: The World of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Enigma Quests’ World of Witchcraft and Wizardry has a beautiful set, and a couple of clever puzzles, but something was lacking from the experience, and left us feeling just a little flat after. It’s not a bad game, and with a few tweaks could be a good, or maybe even a great game.

Of the two rooms I’ve played (so far) at the new Enigma Quests venue, I’d recommend World of Witchcraft and Wizardry as the best. It’s got a recognisable theme, and executes on it well. The puzzles are tricky, but not insurmountably so, and overall it signposts them well. I enjoyed it a lot. It’s probably not going to take “top place” as my favourite room in London, but it’s an excellent addition to the escape room landscape here, and a great replacement for folks who’ll miss the company’s earlier game.

We arrived at the Magical Department of EQIC, expecting to take part in a once-in-a-lifetime interview for a thrilling job opportunity knowing we would only have 60 minutes to impress…..However, once we arrived we were sent to sent to investigate a disturbance in a wizard’s study instead. Professor Thistlewick, an esteemed wizard connected to a dark prophecy, had disappeared. Just as the description of the room was a little confusing, so was the mission of the game.
