Excalibur

This was my first time at a MindTrap experience and the room decor was fantastic and really pulled me in. The puzzles worked smoothly and were fun to complete. That said, as an experienced escape room player, I found the difficulty much lower than expected. It’s listed as a 6/10, but I’d put it closer to a 4/10. At one point, we even sat down just to look around because we weren’t feeling very challenged. We didn’t need any hints, but one thing I really missed was having a timer. Instead, the room used candles that slowly went out, which I thought would be a unique concept but in practice, it didn’t quite work for me. I couldn’t gauge how far along we were, and I realized just how much I rely on a timer to keep that sense of urgency and pacing. For me, it’s an essential part of the escape room challenge. Overall, I’d definitely try another of their rooms in the future just next time, I’ll be going straight for the highest difficulty they offer.

Another fantastic room by Mindtrap. Loved the King Arthur theme and had some fun and unique puzzles. The set was amazing!

Mindtrap does it again with medieval mastery! Loved all the props. Puzzle flow was great, and the exquisite set design was even better. I was wowed at every turn! The epic tale is complete with a finale worthy of the Knights of the Round!

Such a fun theme roomed! You really feel like you’re in the medieval times. Loved the amount of puzzles and interactive props!

Really immersive and great decor. Puzzles are similar to ones we have seen before so we escaped quickly but it’s a very cool room!

Really fun room. Theming was top notch. Puzzles were fun and innovative and our gm Theia was great!!

Really good tech in this room. Not overly difficult for enthusiasts. However, I like that there’s not a lot of locks, which fits the midevil theme well. A predictable ending but still rewarding. A fun family experience for sure. It deserves the high marks. Just know that it may be a quick one if you’ve got a lot of escape rooms under your belt.

Excalibur is a family friendly good time. If you’re a fan of King Arthur and the lore of the Holy Grail, this room will meet your medieval fantasies! I could also imagine a couple going through this room and having plenty of puzzles to do between the two of them. The production value is quite high and the puzzles fit with the themes. There was one puzzle that was a little finicky for us (the sundial) but continue to play with it and it will do the trick. Would highly recommend this one and the Winnie the Pooh room for younger kids!

YES YES YES! Exactly what I wanted out of a fantasy themed room! The build quality was on point and it made it so immersive! Also the puzzles were fun to figure out and it still gave us a challenge

This room was a lot of fun. It is on the easier side, but had some fun puzzles and a great set.
