Wizard Quest

Rating: 4/5 - Huge, fantastical scavenger hunt game Pros: ➕Huge, 3 level set with tons of details and different areas to explore, some crawling required. ➕Incredibly unique and very fun ➕Set looks fantastic and is very immersive and visually appealing with huge sculptures and life-size statues/figures. ➕Many hidden passages, it's super satisfying when you discover them. ➕Good voice-overs, so you don't have to read everything out loud to your group. Though not all the text had voice over. ➕Tablet interfaces mostly worked well and wasn't laggy, it's designed like a video game and has fun artwork. ➕Useful map provided in the tablet. ➕The quests have multiple paths based on decisions you make. Mixed feelings: ➕/➖Almost everything is search based, anyone can participate and it works well regardless of your group size. However, if you like puzzles, there are basically none. Could be better: ➖A few doors were left open because the buttons were not working, this spoiled some hidden passages. ➖It can get crowded on a Sat evening. It's annoying when there are other groups on the same quest as you looking for the same things, certain areas are a tight fit for groups and we were bumping into people. ➖No back button on the tablet interface to re-read prompts. ➖No built-in hint system in the tablet interface, you need to go to an employee to ask for help and they are only located in a couple of spots. The employees were not very friendly or enthusiastic. ➖No real ending or climax to the game, it just ends when your time is up and you're unlikely to finish every quest within the 2 hours. Your progress is not saved if you want to come back. ➖The top floor was too hot, probably 80+ degrees, it did not seem like the air conditioning was working on that floor which made us want to avoid it. You could play this solo or have a bigger group. I'd recommend asking for multiple tablets if you have more than 6. They also only provide 1 UV flashlight per group but you can also bring your own which will make searching go quicker.

Absolutely incredible and a must do if you're in the area.

Second time I have tried this and it was completely renovated and different. Amazing and immersive experience

I wouldn’t consider this an escape room per se. But it was super fun. I am definitely going back I had such a good time!

As others have stated, NOT AN ESCAPE ROOM But it's fantastic and so fun. Really detailed, everything worked. Definitely load up on multiple quests early so you can advance multiple of them at once based on where you're going. Highly recommend!

This isn't an escape room but is still a really fun game. It's basically like a real life mystery game in one big building. You get an iPad and run around the building solving as many quest as you can before your time runs out. I really liked how your response to certain tasks can change the ending as well. I had a great time can't wait for my next trip there.

Totally not an escape room. Totally for escape room players who love adventure, exploration and magical settings. Instead of puzzles, you are completing multiple search quests to discover micro stories and unlock new quests. I do NOT like search quests in video games but LOVED doing search quests here. They have truly hit upon the magical formula.

Sublime. Absolutely magical. We drove from Niagara to Wisconsin (11+ hours) to play this game and it did not disappoint. After our first play, we went back the next morning to complete the remainder of the quests. Nothing has ever come close to giving me the same feeling video game discoveries do until now. It felt like actual magic.

While this is not an escape room, it's an experience that, as escape room enthusiasts, we really enjoyed. The set design and decor of this huge space was fantastic. There were so many times when we just stopped to admire the production of it all. We came across a few puzzles and did a lot of searching/exploring, which normally would not be our thing, but the four of us (all adults) had a blast. We didn't finish all the quests in our 2 hours, but we got further than we expected. We went around 6pm and it was fairly empty. To avoid crowds I would suggest you not go early in the day or after 8pm. We would love to see an option to save our progress so we could return and continue where we left off. If that would have been available, we would have returned to finish our quests. Also, the previous reviewers on here said there are live actors and prizes. We did not see any of that. There were a few staff standing around that will answer your questions, but it seemed more like they were there for security.

A great step up from the previous location. Very large and fun to explore. Even after 2 hours, we were still finding hidden passages and places we didn't see yet. The UI on the tablet is easy to follow and the quests are fun. I love that it saves your progress so that WHEN you come back (not if) you can continue from where you left off. Live actors will be able to point you in the right direction should you get a little stumped.
