📖 THE STORY

Heading into the grand Citadel, you’ve heard of a legend where a powerful dragon is guarding an enormous treasure hidden inside these walls. Your quest is to locate the entrance to those catacombs and brew a sleeping potion to put the dragon to sleep so you can grab the treasure.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

The room had some carefully crafted props with a lot of attention to detail. Some of our favorites included the magical staff, the leather journal and scrolls, the iron padlock as well as some of the references hidden in the solutions.
The set design of the room was impressive. The stone walls and feel of the overall room made for a fantastic atmosphere.
There was a wide range of puzzles, varying in type and difficulty. This worked well with the non-linear beginning that allowed us all, including the kids, to be working on different puzzles simultaneously.
We appreciated the GM keeping a close watch on our time and progress and offered some nudges to ensure we would be able to see the ending.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

One minor issue that we did encounter was that there was a cipher where the runes used on the puzzle didn’t exactly match the key provided which resulted in some confusion.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"Dragon Treasure" was an excellent family friendly game. Escape Legends is passionate about escape rooms, and it displays through their room design. The set of the room had an immersive feel from the stone walls to the leather scrolls. The puzzles were creative and had a mix of challenges. We played with 4 adults and 2 kids which worked well for the non-linear beginning to allow everyone to be busy at the start but there were a few times, we found too many people were in each other’s way. We found 4 people would have been just right. Any Lord of the Rings fan or Dragon Hunters out there should try out this room.
