The Magician's SecretUnlock The AdventureEscape roomIRLThis was a really fun room and well thought out. The staff was super friendly and very pleasant! We are really looking forward doing the other four rooms here.
Hagrid's Hut And The Forbidden ForestEscape Room ClarionEscape roomIRLSo, FYI we finished the room (escaped) but not the optional side quest, although we came within one puzzle of finishing the side quest. So I am not counting the side quest in our escape time. We had fun playing this room and the puzzles were creative and interesting; it was fun to have more to do than just look for keys to unlock things. Also, the GM was incredibly friendly, helpful, and very polite. My only criticisms are that there are so many things to find and hard to keep them all organized because the room is small. We had a hard time keeping props we used separate from props we no longer needed as there was not a lot space to put things as we found them. Also, just a personal thing, but there were quite a few items that seemed like you needed them but you actually did not (red herrings). I find those to be incredibly frustrating because it doesn’t help you move toward the goal and disrupts the flow of the game. I know some people don’t mind them, but for me, I prefer a more straightforward approach that is challenging but doesn’t create unnecessary confusion.
