Spellbound

We loved this room. We did it as a three and we definitely needed more players as it’s not a linear game. Good setting, story and puzzles.

Great room. Loads to do so glad it was a team of 4. Good clues. Didn’t need much help. No extra rooms but started in 2’s in separate cages.

I completed this room with a group of colleagues who were a mix of first-timers, novices, and myself. There was a huge variety of puzzle types meaning there was something for everyone, and the sheer volume of puzzles meant that we were all constantly busy the whole time. However, the non-linear nature of the room meant that many people didn't get to even see some of the puzzles, which is a shame, and the chaotic nature of the room with everything being accessible at once made it lack a feeling of progression for me. The theming was spot on, however, the room was very dark. Some of the key symbols and information were near impossible to see due to how faded it was in such a dark room. Some tech also let the room down where it needed to be far too precise and done in a very particular way to make the technology work, resulting in a lot of immersion-breaking hints being sent to help us get it to work.  Overall it was a fun room with a big variety of puzzles and nice theming, but in my opinion, it needs some TLC to make it run smoother.

Wow! I loved this game! Played as a four and was lots for everyone to do. Non-linear room which meant no one was having to wait for someone to solve a puzzle. Just got one with a puzzle and helped each other out when needed. Actually had goosebumps at the ending! Definitely in my top 5!

A great game, with PLENTY of puzzles. We did this as a 4 and knew we’d done it by the end! The build up to the final puzzle is ace, with a really fun theatrical finale to get stuck in to.
