I can’t imagine a better game to introduce someone to escape rooms than Sorcerer’s Secret. While the game itself was surprisingly harder for our team than other games at the venue, it was still fairly light overall and made great use of some adaptive difficulty measures to ensure constant interaction with the set. The set and props were beautifully designed and executed magical cliches with an earnest elegance. The finale is maybe a bit intense for younger players, but it’s a grand capstone to a visually stunning game. Even before this impressive effect, the story is told through some of the most endearing characters I’ve seen in an escape room, at least on a design level. Every one could find something to love in the is game, and I truly believe that it will inspire so many future enthusiasts.

Gameplay

The puzzles are beautifully integrated into the set with the same mastery-building structure of their other games.

Atmosphere

The castle set is imposing and grand, but also whimsical and filled with very intricate characters.

Customer service

One of the owners was there and was very fun to talk to - and our hosts were generally very attentive and friendly

Practically a fairytale in escape room form.

Fantasy doesn’t necessarily grab me - but it was a fun story and had an awesome payoff

Was anything broken?

Yes

One prop didn’t trigger easily and another trigger prematurely, causing a potential sequence break (it was averted, and the game ran smoothly otherwise).

Such an impressive room with so many wonderful surprises. As magical themed rooms go this is up there with one of the best I’ve played. The narrative was strong and I think it would be a perfect game to play with a family, despite to challenging puzzles, the wow factor would be such a high pay off for younger players.

Gameplay

Seamless and exciting

Atmosphere

Beautiful set decoration with a soundtrack to match

Customer service

As always the staff at Crypto are always super attentive and great at hyping before the experience and this time was no exception.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

There were definitely tech elements used in this game that I haven’t seen before and some excellent puzzle design.

Story

The objective was clear and you could really follow your progress depending on where you were in the story.

Difficulty

Hard

I would say the challenge is in the amount of puzzles to get through rather than difficulty of each one. But each one had a different style which was really fun!

Must be in my top 10 escape rooms ever! Props and atmosphere was absolutely phenomenal and unique! We see a lot of rooms with sorcerers/magic and I have done a couple, but THIS one is by far the best executed, unique and amazing puzzle with a story that makes sense. I will recommend this room in a heartbeat!! The ending I was not expecting at all so made everything come together nicely!

Gameplay

Oh my goodness amazing story well told flowed amazingly! The twist at the end I was not expecting it at all!!

Atmosphere

Oh my god, this room has amazing special effects and props! It has my favorite prop/puzzle ever in all my escapes I have done!

Customer service

super sweet

This is probably the best you will get for a $30 room, at least $50 worth of quality if not more. Mainly 1-2 puzzles per room, and the puzzles are all quite original. The puzzles aren't hard, usually 2-step solving, but with a group of 4 or 5, the clues piece together very straightforwardly. Albeit medium difficulty, quite fun to actually do them! The last room is definitely what differentiates it from a good room to a best room. My heart review namely goes for the last room, number of rooms, and the pricing.
