We’d previously escaped Operation Odyssey and loved it. Spellbound was also a fun game but the easier of the two in my opinion. It was definitely suited for smaller groups. The puzzles flowed and the hint system was fun and immersive. Like a lot of rooms in Scotland, story isn’t the main focus and doesn’t drive the room but puzzles were nice and (mostly) made sense with a good variety. There was nothing to distract so it was easy to find what you needed to use in the room making this great for beginners.
Our GM, John, was welcoming and friendly and checked if we needed a clue before giving it.
Okay gameplay. Pretty straight forward. Only one puzzle that properly stumped us with its execution.
Nothing that blew us away but looked nice enough and in good condition.

We had high expectations after doing Odyssey. Still enjoyable but preferred their other game.
Standard, Merlin v Morgana. Not too much depth but that’s common in UK games in my experience.
Flow was good so we only got stuck a couple of times and a hint was offered rather than given.
Mix of padlocks and some basic tech that wasn’t hidden.
2 enthusiasts, 3-4 for beginners.

Game room has no issues but the room location is down a flight of stairs.
NCP Car park across the street and some free on street parking nearby if later at night.
