The Dark One has awoken. Only the power of the Enchanted Scarlet Gem, hidden inside a secret chamber full of dangerous spells and perilous witchcrafts, can put an end to his reign of terror.

This was the first room I played at Game Over and I absolutely loved it. As a universal fanatic, I thoroughly enjoyed getting to experience casting spells as one would in the park and how well it blended into the puzzles. The room was very immersive and had lots of sneaky references to the actual Harry Potter series. I also appreciated the fact that the room was linear making it easy to go from one puzzle to the next. The staff was super welcoming and our gamemaster was perfect and made sure to be thorough about how we felt about receiving clues. All in all the gameplay was very smooth, the decor was awesome, and I’d definitely recommend the room to anyone.

We started the room and within the first 10 minutes were asked to step out due to “technical difficulties” (I.e. they forgot to reset something). Once back in we picked up where we left off but definitely took away from the experience. Then in the second room, the door to the next room(which we were supposed to be trying to get open) was left open by staff. I quietly closed it so as to not ruin the experience further for the kids, but just very sloppy on the staff’s part, not resetting everything properly. The entire room is linear with everyone working on the same puzzle at one time which is frustrating in a larger group. There were only really 4 puzzles total in the whole thing and pretty easily solved. Not worth the money if you’ve done escape rooms before so I’d only recommend this to extreme beginners and younger kids .

Thank you for your feedback and for visiting Game Over Escape Rooms Jacksonville. We’re very sorry about the reset mistakes you experienced. Having to pause early in the game and encountering a door that should have been closed is definitely not the experience we aim to provide. Our rooms are carefully reset between groups, and we’ll be addressing this with our team to make sure it doesn’t happen again. We appreciate you letting us know and also for trying to keep the experience intact for the kids in your group. If you’d be willing, please contact us directly so we can work toward making this right.

Overall, a pretty solid room. Not as fantastic of a spectacle as some of their other rooms, but the wand mechanics add a bit of fun for the family, though was a bit of a let down for a group of adults. The story was also a bit lackluster. Still, relatively happy with our experience at Game Over. August was a fantastic GM.

Gameplay

Very linear. Some unique aspects, but felt slightly light in terms of things to do with four players.

Atmosphere

Set was well built, clean, and in good condition.

Customer service

August was an amazing GM!

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Had a very cool puzzle/clue mechanism in additon to the wands.

Story

Nothing very immersive or in depth to drive the story.

Difficulty

Easy

Pretty straight forward. Maybe one or two puzzles that require a creative solution.

Game tech

High tech

Electric locks, motors, some screens for decoration, but with a few classic lock boxes as well.

No more than four to avoid idle players

We appreciate you sharing your experience at Game Over Jacksonville — and thank you for shouting out August! Just as a heads-up, that room is designed to be our more approachable option on purpose, so families can play with kids and still feel successful while enjoying the interactive wand moments. Thanks for coming to see us and we hope to see you back soon.

Very on theme, loved the touch of using the magic wand. All the puzzles were on theme as well.

Phenomenal. Dumbledora was our Gm and she was great at giving us a nudge without giving the game away. She was patient and kind and we got along great!

No

Everything worked as it was supposed to! Nothing was broken at all.

Would love to see your rooms with more to do. Give more puzzles, more locks, more riddles to solve. For being a new escape room to the area, you’ve gotta make your mark and the two rooms we’ve done at Game Over have fell a bit flat.

Gameplay

It was just fine. I wish there was more to the room. It’s very linear, so you can only work on one puzzle at a time. I felt like I stood around a lot with not much to do.

The use of the wand made things “interesting or different”, but that’s kind of it.
