This room felt a lot more confusing than the others we’ve done here- though this might just be me?! Some of the puzzles themselves are really fun & different, though I had a lot of confusion about what we needed to do next, or what we’d just achieved when we solved something- which took the edge off this room for me. Not a bad room, but I didn’t think it was as good as some of their others & my brain clearly just doesn’t seem to work in the same way as the designer of this room. 🤯 I did however really like the player portal, which gives you access to not only to your photos, but also to stats about your game play!
Gameplay
I found this room really confusing! There’s a LOT of puzzles but I struggled to go what helped you work towards what, and confusion reigned for me! That said, there are some really good puzzles, and some I’ve never seen before.

Liked the fact it flowed from previous room, Elixir Vitae.

The puzzles themselves were a mixed bag in terms of difficulty, but knowing what to do or being able to work out what had been unlocked by what you’d just done was beyond me at times!

Played as a team of 2. Another great room from Break escape. This is the second part of 2 part room. We played the first part when it first opened about a year ago (second room wasn’t open then) and have only just made it back. It was worth the wait. Great setting and props which is expected from Break escape. Nice mix of Non-linear and linear (concentrate on one critter at a time). The experience made better by our GM Tim. Very welcoming and remembered us from our other visits. Defo recommend doing this room.

We’ve played both parts of this, and they’re great fun. Sets look great and puzzles flow nicely. Our favourite games at this location

Part II of the academy of spells. A mix of linear and non-linear puzzles worked well for us. A bit more thinking required than part I. Worked ok as a four. Would be doable by two.
Gameplay
This is Part two of academy of spells. We did them straight through as one longer room. The puzzles in this room were a little more challenging to us than the elixir vitae, but because there were more non-linear aspects, we could divide and conquer to do it quickly.
Atmosphere
Set design was good. A fun entry into the game that requires a little play-park mentality (for the adults anyway!)
Customer service
Again, this game hasn’t been open long but GMd nicely. I can’t remember whether we asked for hints or not.
Was anything broken?
No
But… considering this is a new room, one of the puzzles performed a bit badly because of the temperature. We discussed this afterwards and the GM said she’d report it to the owners.
