great hostingbroken techplain
While some elements inside were in need of repair, the hosting was excellent and made the experience enjoyable. The game takes place in a single cell, which we found quite challenging. With a few improvements, it has great potential!

We do appreciate a good challenge and this really provided it, as to get all eight runes, we really had to work the grey matter in a different way. The build is excellent and no space is wasted in this inventive game that is packed with things to do. It's a real 'think outside the box' type of game, with just enough signposting to keep you going but not enough to have you running around at pace, solving puzzle after puzzle. We really loved the challenge and loved that there was enough to keep the two of us working hard for a good 50 minutes. The puzzle design is so well-crafted - another excellent room from Escape Nation.

I've wanted to play this for a while and had been recommended it by a few people...it did not disappoint! A truly magical and immersive game with some clever and unique puzzles, I had a lot of fun playing this one. The attentions to detail and the logic behind some of the puzzles show a lot of time has been out into the games build. There were a couple of instances where we solved things with a bit of fluke but also need a couple of hints in the correct direction for some of the puzzles. We also solved a bonus puzzle which added to the magical feel of this room. Without giving too much away, there are lots of interactive parts, special effects and some wow moments. I would definitely recommend playing this room. I've done a couple of wizard/magic themed rooms now and this is up there with one of my favourites (and bare in mind I've done around 70 rooms). Also, I liked that it wasn't just another remake of a Harry Potter kind of game. It was more magic, not wizard school. Thank you to Tabby, our games master, who was friendly and chatty before and after the game and got a great group shot of us on completion of the game. It always helps when you have an enthusiastic GM who is passionate about the game and their role.

Brilliant expansive set and some nice physical interactions that unfortunately were let down by needing multiple attempts to make puzzles work and too much prompting over the radio that took us out of the immersion / flow.

So interactive from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. Loved having a role that directly related to the puzzles within and how that made an impact on the story. Huge variety of tasks and a memorable end.
