Average game, and not so scary as expected. Very friendly staff!!! A bit expensive though. For London City I expected more.

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.

School of Magic 2 to 12, ideal size 8
