We had a lot of fun. The room could have used a few tweaks for people over 60, like better lighting and more distinct colors. Nice helpful staff, and we appreciated the unlimited hints. You really need at least 4 people to do this, but there’s not room for more than 5.
This was one of the funnest experiences we had with the family. The puzzles were very challenging and we really did want to avoid taking the hint option, but we were glad that even the hints still made you think it through. I love that much of it required group participation and coordination (communication was key). Our daughter had so much fun she wants to go back again. Also, Zack was very accommodating and a great host. Thanks so much! We're definitely coming back and recommending to our friends!
We had a great time at the Wizard Trials escape room. This was good for a mixture of experience levels with our group. The puzzles were fun and relied on all of our senses. It was nice to have multiple puzzles/tasks simultaneously, so everyone in the group had something to work on. Ant had great energy and was really helpful - you could tell they genuinely enjoyed sharing escape rooms with people. This was our second time back and there will definitely be a third!
Had an absolutely delightful experience doing the Wizard room here!! Zack ran me and my friends through and was absolutely completely wonderful. So kind and a great game master! The set design was absolutely beautiful, perfect difficulty level for us, not too hard, not too easy. Awesome hands on experience. We’ll be back to play everything else asap!
Jaden was a great gamemaster for us during our two escape rooms tonight, providing just the right amount of help needed to get us in the right direction. Love seeing people that genuinely enjoy their job. :D The rooms themselves were very immersive and modern, with very little traditional “lock & key” puzzles. I was really impressed with the creativity of certain puzzles, utilizing all sorts of senses and intellect so each of our party had a role they could find pride in! Gamemasters here are very chill and informative, not pressuring you at all and only chiming in when necessary. We never felt like they were ever “giving” us the answers, which I find rare in escape rooms sometimes! I also liked all the props that different rooms needed to make you feel more incorporated into the room. My literal only (small) critique is that the possibly older we played had some rough spots from guests being too rough with props, and those could be touched up/repaired. Both were more modern rooms that looked like they needed specialized equipment to repair/order so it’s very forgiving. I’ve done a lot of escape rooms all over the country and this one definitely makes my top 5! Well done!
