WeaknessesSometimes there are complaints about delays and weak admin work during booking and guest reception. In some reviews: a cramped tea room and questions about cleanliness/wear of areas, no fridge for the cake. There’s also criticism of actors speaking too quietly, difficult searching, and rare cases when help is late or, conversely, hints are too direct.
StrengthsA strong Harry Potter world atmosphere, detailed to the smallest things and close to the films. Live interaction with actors and tech-driven puzzles create a sense of real magic. Suitable for families, groups of friends, and fans of the franchise.
SecurityBefore the game you get clear instructions; along the way an actor/guide is nearby, and routes are well thought out. There was a complaint about a situation with an unattended child and birthday organization — for kids’ teams it’s better to discuss format and supervision in advance, especially regarding allergies and the cake.
Level of fearThe quest is mostly not scary, but there’s darkness and a couple of tense episodes that may frighten the very youngest. Overall kids 6+ manage fine; actors support and soften intense moments.
Actors' gameActors are praised often: they keep the pace, guide the story, and add humor and emotion; Moaning Myrtle and the professor are guest favorites. Occasionally people ask them to speak louder and more confidently; rarely there were 'sluggish' hosts at a party.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are thematic, varied, and mostly fair; mechanisms work reliably. Difficulty ranges from easy to medium, but there are search tasks that some find hard. Hints and guidance are available, though at times players would prefer either more help or less direct answers.
PlotYou are in Hogwarts and must assemble the Deathly Hallows, return them to their place, and stop dark magic. The story carefully leans on the books and films, without unnecessary detours or spoilers.
Difficulty levelOptimal for families and mixed groups: newcomers feel comfortable with hints, and adults have things to ponder. For those who don’t like searching, certain rooms will feel hard.
