Merlin's Legacy

This game is a pretty good time! This definitely has the feel of an older game, with a worn down set that was broken in a few places, but the gameplay flowed well, there was a surprise spectacle factor, and the puzzles, while for the most part simple, were pretty fun! We had one frustrating moment when puzzle tech wasn’t working as intended just due to being worn down and a little broken, which wasted a little time, but honestly we aren’t the type of team that cares about that. The GM for this game was incredible. I can’t recall his name but he was so much fun and made the experience more ~magical~

Decent game - set and puzzles were a mix of things I liked and things I thought could be improved, but nothing was terribly broken. Pros: The ending sequence felt large and epic. The set design did a good job conveying the concepts they attempted to. Cons: I wish the set was brighter in some places, and in some places it could have been more robust or hid the underlying construction for better immersion. Some of the puzzles could have been clued better IMHO.

One of the best escape rooms I’ve ever done! Such great theming and puzzles. Very inventive and immersive.

A very fun room with great sets, smells, and immersive elements! In comparison to other wizard themed rooms, nothing is reliant on Harry Potter or lord of the rings references, but rather a new tale on old Merlin folklore. Very refreshing to see a magic themed room not try to be non copyrighted Harry Potter. The interactive puzzles are very fun, almost no locks throughout the whole experience! Some puzzles were a little hard to grasp at first, for a linear room that can pose a progression issue but one that makes the rest of the puzzle solving feel more worthwhile. One downside is there is only one screen throughout the whole room, with a colorful background, making it hard to see the clues written on the screen that Merlin does not read aloud, and very hard to see since there is no alert tone for written clues. A plain black background would fix this issue, and our game guide commented how the screen would be only in this spot fixing any issues of not seeing a screen later on in the adventure. Overall very fun for all ages with some amazing sets and puzzles!

60 To Escape sets a high bar and this room is no exception. I brought a first time player, someone who has done 3 rooms prior, and myself (200+ rooms) and everyone found it to be extremely engaging with plenty of surprises. The scenic quality is top notch. I especially loved all the lighting cues during the narrative portions of the experience, most notably during the opening exposition. The puzzle flow was mostly smooth and intuitive, though there is one extremely long and tedious puzzle that brought the game to a grinding halt and far outstayed it's welcome. It also delivers a fantastic finale, something so many rooms fail at.

The theming and immersion were fantastic, as I've come to expect from 60 To Escape. We had a good time, but there were a few puzzles that needed hints, and I don't think we would have come to the realizations ourselves. One that had a very difficult to find item. It was also very linear, meaning when we got to those standstills, the whole group was stopped. I would recommend for sure, but not my favorite room from this location.

set dressing and atmosphere was very fun and interesting, the flow was very linear and the ending felt like it came up pretty quick but overall a very fun and magical feeling room.
