All magicians will have the magician’s secret. But, Farazan had it a little deeper. He along with the queen’s diamond vanished in 1893. Can you find the mystery?

The room was excellent, but a little smaller than I would like, so I'm going to say this is a mid-level game for newer to mid-ranged gamers. The puzzles are fun and inventive, and the story is great if you know anything about magic (and even if you don't). Enjoy!

This was a really solid room with excellent puzzles and a a really great theme! This room had one of the most unique puzzles I've ever seen and even though we figured it out pretty quickly, the level of ingenuity to create it blew me away. If you want a fun challenge, with a great staff, and an immediate room, look no further Sherlock! Come and Solve It!

The entryway was a big small, for a big guy it was a tight squeeze, so it's mostly accessible, but not 100%

A bit disappointed. We wasted a lot of time on one puzzle that was quite finicky.. we asked to see the last puzzle and there was a malfunction so even if we did win, the last puzzle wouldn't have worked. Our game master was wonderful though!

Thanks so much for the feedback and for giving The Magician’s Secret a try. We’re sorry to hear the experience didn’t quite live up to expectations, especially with the trouble on the final puzzle—that’s not the impression we ever want to leave. We apologize if something wasn’t functioning properly during your game. That said, we’re glad to hear your game master helped make the experience more positive, and we hope you’ll consider giving another one of our rooms a shot in the future! 🎩🕵️♂️💫

I never realized how much a GM could make or break an escape room experience. She was unenthused and honestly felt like she didn't want to be there. The clues that she gave us didn't give us much since some of the things in the room required either such precision that it would not work even after trying it three or more times or it was broken. It took two GMs to tell us what we did was correct but then not because it was slightly off (maybe). It took us 15 minutes to get one puzzle solved and the time ran out - it was a stupid puzzle that required many movements with such precision and time (atleast a minute per time). If you mess up, you'll have to do it again and again (which we did).

Thanks for sharing your experience—we’re sorry to hear The Magician’s Secret didn’t land the way we hoped. I know the puzzle in question and can confirm it doesn’t require a minute per cycle, but we understand how it could feel that way in the moment if progress stalls. Our goal is always to challenge without frustrating, and we’re always continuing to fine-tune that balance. We also regret that your experience with our staff didn’t feel welcoming or supportive. That’s not reflective of our standards, and we’ve been reinforcing expectations with our team to ensure every guest feels valued and encouraged throughout their game. We appreciate the feedback and hope you’ll consider trying one of our other rooms, which offer a very different style and gameplay approach. 🎩🕵️♂️🔁

This is a linear room. Linear rooms tend to be more challenging so I wouldn’t recommend this room for a beginner. The puzzles really do invoke thought and might not be what you think they are at first. Overall a good challenge.

This room was indeed a challenge. I enjoyed myself, but also found my group and I stumped on a good amount of the room. After receiving clues from our game master puzzles started to make sense. Set design was also great! Room was creepy without being scary.

This is def the hardest room for sure! The atmosphere was “creepy” without being scary par se! My group and I got very stumped at numerous points, but looking back on it, they made sense. This room for sure gave us a run for our money in terms of puzzles, but in the end I felt satisfied! Our team name for this game; Overthinkers Unite!!!!!!!
