Welcome, brave adventurers, to the Kingdom of Eldermist!

For years, this land has suffered under the dark curse of the malevolent wizard and his fearsome dragon, Grimfang. The once-thriving kingdom now lies in despair, its people yearning for a hero. Are you brave enough to step into the wizard’s lair and break the enchantment that grips the kingdom?

Your mission is clear: infiltrate the wizard’s tower, locate his spellbook, and cast the Spell of Unbinding to lift the curse. But beware, time is of the essence! Can you break the spell and escape before it’s too late?

One of the best "magical" rooms we've played, brilliantly themed, a number original puzzles and it kept us thinking throughout. Great hosting, we can't wait to see what The Escape House can come's up with next.

We usually play as a team of two but this time we were joined by our fellow escape enthusiast to tackle this highly rated rising star room!! And thank goodness we had an extra pair of hands and the additional brainpower. 

This room was FABULOUS. From entering the room all the way up to its conclusion, the love and care given to its concept was apparent. We enjoyed everything from start to finish!

We must admit, we don't usually gel well with the magic theme in escape rooms but we were far more than pleasantly surprised at how good this room actually was!! This room was so immersive that it's difficult not to get truly lost in the story and the puzzles! 

We have one word for this room... BRAVO 👏🏾 

Thanks for having us, we can't wait for the next adventure!

This game was a delightful experience, offering a unique take on the escape room genre with some refreshing elements I hadn't encountered before. It’s genuinely charming and features a lovely, cutesy atmosphere that immerses you in its magical world. Of all the magic-themed games I’ve played, this one stands out for its heartwarming moments and creative design.

One small criticism I have, though, is regarding the game's use of items. Without giving too much away, the Game Master will inform you upfront that the game doesn’t follow the typical "one-use" policy for objects. Personally, I find it a bit tricky to remember objects I've already used or solved puzzles with, so once I’ve figured something out, I tend to forget about those items. That being said, the way this mechanic is incorporated into the game is still quite clever and adds to the experience.

The storytelling and use of technology in this game are outstanding, with some innovative features that really bring the narrative to life in ways I hadn’t seen before. Overall, it's a wonderfully immersive and magical experience that I highly recommend.

We had lots of fun in this beautiful, well thought out, nicely-flowing room! It's a 90min room and it makes good use of  the time as it's quite large. Props are very high quality and there's a lot of visual "wow", but it's not just a veneer: the puzzles are multi-layered and carefully designed to give a deep experience (instead of just a long one). Our host was great and we'd absolutely recommend this!

A beautiful game with lots of great moments within it. Huge range of puzzle styles and some great physical puzzles- there’s a lot to do within the 90 mins so get cracking!

Excited to see what this company do next as this is a very promising start!

Wow. I am always particularly impressed when a new venue opened by independent amateur teams knocks their first game out of the park, and boy have they here. A dramatic beginning to the game, an immersive, perfectly themed world and some impressive hunt and puzzle moments with some new ideas thrown in, I regularly forgot I had a job to do while I was in there, I was just marvelling at so many things 🙂 plenty to keep the  four of us busy for over an hour. The team are very passionate and will make sure you get the most from this adventure.

Got to be the best Escape Room we've ever tried. Layout, storyline and puzzles were great. The detail in the props and decor was way above what I've seen elsewhere. You have to try this one! Staff were really friendly and responses to questions on Email was really quick. They were able and willing to accommodate a short notice change of date when our plans had to change. Game was longer than other escape rooms we've tried which made it better value for money than most. Can't wait to return and try another room.

Thank you  so much. This was the best Escape room our group has been to so far. Between us we've completed about 15 across the country.   It's a pity we don't have photos to show but understandably some things need to be kept secret. The Decor, ambience,the interactions, puzzles, and the clever, doo-dads (I Shan't elaborate) make this a must "go-to" experience.  Our host, Ollie, was amazing and I'm sure his Cohort, Ben, is too. You will be left "SPELLBOUND"  We can't wait for the next adventure to open.

Magical Story driven experience.
