We had lots of fun, but unfortunately the instructions given to us before going into the room were slightly wrong. It meant we spent lots of time focusing on something we didn't need to do, and we ended up needing lots of help. Would still recommend to others, especially groups of Harry Potter fans!

Really enjoyed this escape room but we didnt know on booking that it was aimed a bit more towards families / younger children. In saying that some of the clue had us thinking sometimes overthinking. It one point it was hard to hear one of the next messages to the clue with the music. But overall this was a fantastic escape room, with theming towards Mr Harry Potter. Enjoyed that you got sorta dress up feel like a big kid for an hour with the hat and wand. Got photo took at end in the room which was send out by email few days after. Also The man that was running the rooms was great at his job as well.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Theme was good, perhaps aimed at a slightly younger age group than ours (18+) as we were often overthinking the clues having done previous escape rooms. Would be a great ‘first time’ introduction to the concept.


FAQ

WILL OTHER PEOPLE BE IN THE ROOM WITH US? CAN I HAVE THE ROOM JUST FOR MY GROUP?

Depending on the game capacity, a total of up to 12 people will be admitted to the room at one time, all games are private.

ARE WE REALLY LOCKED INSIDE THE ROOM?

No, these are all simulated experiences and you can leave at any time.

WHAT'S THE AGE LIMIT?

All children under the age of 18 must be:

Da Vinci, School of Magic, The Wizards Cup age 8+

The Prisoner, White Walkers and Vampire Slayer over 18 only

HOW LONG IS IT?

The White Walkers game is 45 minutes.

The other games are 50-60 minutes. But plan on spending about 90 minutes for the whole experience – before your game we’ll review the rules and answer any questions. After the game we’ll do a short recap of your accomplishments and explain how to solve the remaining puzzles if you haven’t escaped.

WHAT DO WE NEED TO BRING?

A printout or electronic version of your booking confirmation.

If anyone in your group is under the age of 18, they must have a liability waiver signed by a parent or guardian, the waiver will be provided when checking in.

WHAT IS THE IDEAL GROUP SIZE?

We know this can get a little confusing. We have found that the perfect size group is 5 for the “Prisoner” and 6 fort the “Da Vinci”.

A minimum of 3 players is suggested for the “Prisoner” Room as it can be more challenging to play with 5 or fewer players.

A minimum of 2 players is required to play the “Da Vinci” Room.

White Walkers 1 to 5, ideal size 4, room only 3m by 3m.

School of Magic 2 to 12, ideal size 8

Wizards Cup 2 to 12, ideal size 8

Vampire Slayer 2 to 12, ideal size 8
