Thematically great room with a few nice moments and great hosting. I think there was so much more potential to lean into the magical theming. Puzzles on the simpler side but a few creative ones in there.

Loved this game, might be the best magic-type game I've played. Good storyline, lovely atmosphere, great puzzles that flowed well, and a few that were really special! Highly recommend.

Unique start to this game, set and theme was excellent. Host was amazing and got right into his character. Some clever puzzles and magic spells. Very interactive, we had a great time!
This room is beautifully themed and the start is super fun and intriguing. Theres a fun interactive puzzles I just love in here. We did find there weren't lots of puzzles though and we completed it fairly quickly.
Magic School has proved wildly popular as an escape room theme, and Lucardo have one such game in each of their two branches. Instead of taking the easy route of duplicating a single game, these are two completely distinct games. (I guess it would make narrative sense to play the Manchester branch’s Entrance Exam first, but Dragon’s Heart is entirely standalone and we had no problem starting with it.)
While this entire genre of escape room owes an obvious debt to the Harry Potter franchise, thi...
The team at Rawtenstall continue to impress. A well delivered story, a fantastic introduction, a great entrance to the game, solid puzzles and plenty of theatre throughout the experience meant we left the game buzzing.
It’s been so long since we played Entrance Exam that I can’t really confirm or deny the rumours that say Dragon’s Heart is even better, but I can confirm that Dragon’s Heart is definitely superb and well worth the trip to Rawtenstall.
