📖 THE STORY
Once upon a time, a competition was held between the bravest faculties in the world to determine who would control all of the magical world. The competition consisted of three complex stages; the dragon realm, the mysteries of the underwater world, and the endless labyrinth. The magical entity to complete all the challenges first would receive the goblet of bravery and be crowned the winner. However, the competition has long been forgotten. Can you complete the tasks and figure out who the ultimate winner was?
🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The variety of puzzles in this game is impressive and diverse. Each stage offers a unique set of challenges: the first stage features straight logic puzzles, the second focuses on observation-based tasks, and the third and final stage involves dexterity challenges.
What makes the puzzles even more impressive is their nonlinear nature. Teams can choose to split up and tackle different puzzles simultaneously or stick together and work through them one by one. This flexibility adds an extra layer of strategy and teamwork to the experience.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
We were not fans of the decoration for this game, which consisted of only a few puzzle elements mounted to the walls and lots of paint. The interior was unfortunately too sparsely furnished and the overall vibe felt pretty cheap.
For a magical-themed room it really lacked any kind of magical elements or vibe. We would have expected more tech-based puzzles or special effects to really provide some immersion.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This is an appropriate room for people who place a higher emphasis on interesting puzzles than they do set design or story.
The nonlinear format also makes the room good for teams of all sizes. Larger groups can easily split up to tackle the different puzzles.
ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO
There is limited parking available for free directly in front of the building.
There is a lobby area with comfortable seating and some drinks for purchase.
There are some small puzzle boxes and other escape room adjacent items for sale too.
