Wizard Trials

No physical locks, and all tech worked. A fun room but we didn't get out (our first failure!). With two people (one less familiar with escape rooms), it was just too much stuff to get through--even at a steady pace with no real hiccups. For us, a full hour would have been fine, instead of 45 minutes. Would have had a better experience with a successful outcome, but it was a nice, immersive room. Well decorated and friendly staff

I dont like wizardy rooms usually but i very much enjoyed this. Cute effects

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.

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.

A cute game with not a lock in sight! excellent immersion and unique puzzles with a special set up that I haven’t experienced before in an escape room. a cute final reveal and an excellent room the whole family can enjoy together. 🙏🏼

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.
