Challenging but so much fun! At first, we thought we’d never get out, but every puzzle was designed to make us work as a team. The moment we solved the last clue felt amazing!

Took my teenagers to World of Illusion at Highland — they LOVED it. Lots of “wow” moments and the special effects were next level.

wow. I’ve done about 15 escape rooms and this was one of the most creative I’ve seen. The transitions between scenes were so smooth. Highly recommended!

We only escaped due to our kind GM Dakota who gave us 5 extra minutes. I appreciated that the puzzles in this room felt different than the puzzles in many other rooms, however I did feel like some of the clues were fairly obtuse. We were a team of three escape room enthusiasts and we rarely ask for hints but I think we legitimately asked for four hints to get through this one. I appreciated the production value and the novelty

Overall this was a good room with some challenging and unique puzzles. I enjoyed that they weren’t as obvious as a lot of others. I would have given this room a ❤️ if there had been more puzzles. As it is, we got out with 21 minutes left on the clock, as 2 enthusiasts who were not trying to rush. We asked for no hints, however, we did get a couple unprompted nudges, which would have been fine if we were at risk of not escaping, but when you get out with so much time left on the clock, ends up feeling like you wasted your money a bit. Even without the nudges, we probably would have gotten out with 15 minutes or so left, so I just wish this room had a few more puzzles to it.

Our GM was very friendly and really wanted to make sure we successfully escaped.
Story
Just another magician’s room, if you have done one before. Not much of a story here.
Difficulty
Medium
I would call this Hard if there had been more puzzles to fill out our hour in the room, but because we got out with 20 minutes to spare, I have to say Medium.

We played as 2 enthusiasts who were not trying to rush and we still got out with 21 minutes remaining and using no hints. For less experienced players, I could see this being a challenging room, so maybe up to 4 people would be good.

Not at all
There is one thing that one person has to do that is somewhat physical, but it would only be a challenge for someone who has mobility issues or difficulty balancing.
Accessibility
Pretty accessible. One puzzle could potentially be a challenge for a color blind person.

They have a small private lot in front with more than enough parking for their business.

I’m surprised this room is rated as highly as it is. I was hoping, as an enthusiast for it to live onto the hype. This game has fun technology and some clever elements, but this room mistakes the concept of being non-linear for being non- logical in its connections. While the decor is well done, immersion is lost because the story starts flat, doesnt carry in the puzzles and has no meaningful pay off. Additionally, some puzzles are so tedious that the many red herrings in the room can prevent making timely progress.

The game master was non-chalant in a way that made the start lack excitement and the hints feel like they drew us out of the game instead of more deeply into it.

Theming was great and puzzles were fun! General tip: take it slow because things can take longer than you think to register "correct" and trigger the puzzle solution.
