You and your friends are the brightest first year students at the School of Magic. Use that talent to cast spells/chants that will help you find a Portkey for returning. After traveling to the School of Magic, the portal at Kings Cross Station has mysteriously stopped working. Thankfully, you and your friends are the brightest first year students. You must use that talent to learn new spells and chants that will help you find a Portkey that you need to escape. Be careful, though. Magic is a mysterious thing and can reverse effects if not used carefully.

The Escape Room San Antonio has great employees and rooms! We had so much fun doing The Waldschrate Room, which really made you think and escaped with only 40 seconds to spare, that we booked The School of Magic right after, and it was awesome! We completed the School of Magic with about 1:30 to spare. Highly recommend this place for a great hour of fun to get your brain working! We did our escapes with our family of 4, our youngest being 7 years old, where there was something for everyone to help with! Will definitely be doing this again!

Great game and definitely felt like we had been transported to a certain wizarding world! This was not very difficult for two players, and we escaped with over 15 minutes remaining. My only complaint is there is a lot of unnecessary reading, but other than that, everything made sense and it was fun to play.

This was a really fun room and even better for the Pottermore fans out there! The puzzles were linear, yet challenging. Also, a very unique way to interact with the game master, that fit the theme perfectly!

Flowed very well, will be a huge hit for Pottermore fans

School of Magic is an incredibly immersive experience that gives STRONG Harry Potter feelings. The set design is incredible and has made me think about what’s possible in this game space. There were a good balance of number locks and tech puzzle. But a large amount of reading. Each step created another page of lore to read to lead us to each new puzzle creating a very linear experience. We observed a puzzle solution out of order. But worked methodically to get ourselves back onto the linear path. I loved most of my experience in the room and being the first group to play it commercially (just launched room) I am very comfortable overlooking any speed-bumps from the Murphys law protocol.
Gameplay
The gameplay was linear and magical
Atmosphere
Super immersive and clearly a labor of love. I felt transported to a world of wizards. Diagonally.
Customer service
The GM was ok. Overly directed us a time or two but weee where warned they hadn’t trained in the room much. Very friendly but gave a few to many “it’s behind you” or “it’s in the other space” nudges which broke the immersion a bit.
Scary
Not scary
Family friendly with zero jump scares.
Live actors
No
Not a live actor, but a really cool NPC that we could interact with.
