Master Diaphugius is the greatest name in wizardry in a handful of generations, and he selected you to be his apprentices. You’ve survived alchemical mishaps, recovered from embarrassing transmutations, and braved quests for all manner of exotic ingredients (not to mention the countless runs for tea leaves). But all those headaches, the long nights, and the singed eyebrows have brought you to this ... your final test. Diaphugius has left you alone in his tower with a single mission. His favorite familiar, the cat Mikla, needs her medicine. You have forty-five minutes. If you can find her and administer the medicine before your master returns, he will give you your very own spellbook and the title of... Assistant Wizard!

Overall fun- some people complained about the time limit in previews reviews, but for 2 players 45 minutes was adequate. Enjoyed some never before seen elements to the game. Design was cool. I felt like a couple elements we figured out not totally on purpose/ as designed.

Enjoyed the room - but we did not get out. Felt like the 45 min time limit is insane and felt like we got cheated on time as in the SF and NYC location PanIQ gives the full hour. I did enjoy the no locks/keys aspect and really do think that if we had a full hour we would’ve made it out (we were so close!)

This was the second time we have done a room at PaniQ--this one was to make up for the fact that there was a malfunction in our room the first time we tried it. And....there was another malfunction in this room that wasted time for us. The rooms here are gorgeously built with good puzzles but we REALLY dislike the 45 minute time limit--it's too short, and both rooms we did wasted time with malfunctions that the GMs didn't see. They kept giving hints for us to repeat things we had already tried and it took probably 3-5 minutes each time for them to realize there was a problem with the mechanics in the room.

Staff didn't seem to realize when there were mechanical problems with the game. They were, however, VERY nice and welcoming.

You are going into a Casino on the strip---parking will be plentiful but paid and then you have to find the location once you get there.

Very fun game. Not very large so recommend a small group or couple. No locks and all the puzzles made sense. Cool use of wands for puzzles.

Cool gen 3 room. The room was immersive and well done. The puzzles on that other hand felt jumbled and not well connected. Room seems too challenging to be 45 minutes. The hints were also not super helpful to send in the right direction.

Little challenging since there are really no signs for it until you get to the escalator right below.

This was an overall fun room. I was planning on soloing it, but had a nice stranger join me who was pretty inexperienced. The set design was very immersive, but some of the technical components didn’t work properly. I wasn’t a fan of the wand mechanics that the game uses from start to finish, but the atmosphere of the game was enough for a pleasant experience.

They need to go back to 60 minutes. These were the first ones we did not escape. I do not think they changed the game to match the time decrease.

As an experienced escapist (130 rooms), this one was fine. One of this location’s better rooms. Would bring kids to this one.
