Spellbound

A pretty excruciating experience from top to bottom this one. Props that didn’t make any design sense, functional sense, or in world sense- not ideal. Some tech issues with random things opening seemingly at will thus leaving us rather confused as to what was actually completed. The connection of puzzles was flimsy at best, with the only semi-cool moments granted by the magic wand which I’ve seen better integrated elsewhere. Can’t say I recommend it but hey, what do I know? Maybe if you’re in the area give Four Kingdoms a crack instead.

An exceedingly frustrating experience, Spellbound left a bit of a bad taste in our mouths with its misleading use of symbols and bizarre prop design. Much like its Eastland counterpart, Four Kingdoms, the experience started with a very watered down storyline and a handful of straightforward puzzles, but as we progressed further it quickly became clear that not a lot of logical design choices had been made when it came to connecting the dots between puzzles. 2/3 of the play through felt really unintuitive with a special shoutout to a certain prop clock that was just straight up designed incorrectly. Nicely dressed room but pretty lack lustre content from start to finish.

Very disappointed in how many parts were too fiddley and not even the staff could get them to work immediately.
