WeaknessesA bit too dark in places; mobile lighting is lacking, and the light‑up wand may be the only one and drains quickly. Some wanted more effects and slightly louder “magic,” as well as more time. Occasional stuffiness is noted.
StrengthsHighly cinematic sets and sound, plenty of spaces and unexpected transitions. Puzzles are varied and fair, well tied to the story. The on‑site team is attentive; hints come on time and to the point.
SecurityThe venue is clean and well‑kept, with a clear introductory briefing. Because the lighting is dim, move with extra care, and the ventilation sometimes struggles at full capacity.
Level of fearNo horror scenes here, but there are sudden sounds like a mandrake’s scream — the most impressionable kids may jump. Overall family‑friendly: recommended age 14+, from 8 with an adult or facilitator.
Actors' gameNo in‑room actors; interaction goes through the game master and hints. Staff are friendly, gently guiding without breaking immersion.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are varied: from simple actions to multi‑step ciphers and mechanics involving the whole team. The logic is solid, but the nonlinearity demands attention and memory; sometimes you need to return to rooms you’ve already passed. Fan references are moderate; knowing the lore isn’t required.
PlotYou’re students, and the hunt for horcruxes falls on your shoulders to stop He‑Who‑Must‑Not‑Be‑Named. The story leads through a chain of rooms and events, gradually building the sense of mission without spoilers.
Difficulty levelDifficulty is medium to above average: newcomers may need hints, especially at the start and with the non‑linear structure. Kids without adults will find it tough; experienced players will be right at home, though time may run a bit short.
