It was an ok magic room some nice puzzles good hosting
More puzzles than Escape the Seven Seas but not as fun. 3-yr-old was a little scared by the introduction.
Just note that this is the 'Witchcraft & Wizardry' game from the 'Escape' franchise - this isn't made clear on the website.
Reviews by escape room review sites
Witchcraft & Wizardry is certainly a pretty room, with plenty of fan service to those who like the Harry Potter franchise. It's also a noticeably small room, which means this is a game I'd recommend playing with a small team.
To my cynical eye it was rather heavily based on unlocking one padlocked drawer after another, with a few more red herring items than I can approve of. The rule that everything is used exactly once was broken in the other direction too, with an item being unexpectedly need...
In the almost-year since I’ve visited, but it definitely stands out as one of my favourites of 2020. I’d recommend this for a beginner team, a team of magic fans, or anyone wanting a satisfying escape room experience.
We needed a family-friendly room, and this fits the bill beautifully - minimal jeopardy in a fantastical yet cosily familiar world.
