Mark as done to rate

Merlin is a legendary medieval sorcerer, known for shape-shifting, casting powerful spells and prophecies. The King of Swords, jealous of Merlin’s legendary powers, has kidnapped and imprisoned him in a dark and damp dungeon forcing him to use his gifts for evil. As young wizards, you have been tasked to allow yourselves to be taken captive and jailed, as to solve the riddles and charms left behind by Merlin. The King’s mystical dragon has finally fulfilled her prophetic duty and laid eggs that hold the key to the fate of the world. It is said that whoever is the keeper of the eggs, shall have the power to control the four great elements: fire, wind, water and earth and thus control over the known world. Recover the stolen eggs and find a way to liberate Merlin from conjuring black magic, or perhaps you too will be trapped in the Dark Realm forever.

Good set design, but way too many red herrings. We also had to brute force (guess) at a number of puzzles because the solutions were so obtuse that we only got that “lightbulb” moment once the GM pointed us in the right direction. We didn’t dislike this room, but there are far better options to play at other locations in Reno.

Gameplay

We had to brute force a number of the puzzles because the “pointers” were imprecise and there were multiple options which appeared correct.

The story was overall pretty good. We had a person that was fairly new to puzzle rooms so this was a good experience for them.
