If you've watched a recent fantasy series involving houses and dragons then elements of this will be very familiar to you.  The king is dead and you have to prove your worth!  As with the rest of their rooms, the theming is good with some interesting puzzles, like some of their other rooms, the flow is mostly good but (like Magic Emporium) perhaps some better signposting might help in one or two places but this is still worth your time.

As with others from this franchise / site, unnecessarily obscure puzzles and clues. Set was tired when we played it.

If you like Game of Throne/Fantasy books style themes, then this room is for you! I don’t, but it was still thoroughly enjoyable with plenty of things to keep 2 people entertained & we managed to set the then record for a pair. With tricky & unusual auditory puzzles as well as other physical tasks, one physical prop didn’t work so the GM had to come in, and we had to stop part way through when the fire alarm went off (not the auditory puzzle I’m referring to!) though staff were brilliant & restarted the game with minimal fuss & bother not long later. The venue is within a college campus which means the rooms are separate from the reception desk & the GM has a little way to travel between, which isn’t ideal but they make the best of it & staff there are always lovely. We’d done another Overthrone type room elsewhere but this only seemed to share an overall theme & 1 puzzle with the other room, so was still worth doing.
