🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• The abundance of props in this room evokes nostalgia for Harry Potter fans, creating a feeling akin to being surrounded by memorabilia.

• A puzzle box served as a key element in the game, capturing everyone's attention. I particularly liked the interactive aspect of physically manipulating the box to uncover its hidden mysteries.

• Each room had flashlights plugged in, which eliminates the problem of batteries running low.

• One of the visual puzzles featured a clever method for unveiling the answer.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• There is an interactive surface that we were unaware could be interacted with. It would be great if a clue could point us to that.

• The puzzle missions and the storyline need better integration.

• We recommend supplying players with a writing pad since some puzzles could might require this tool.

• The conclusion seemed like it could use some enhancements. We were unsure about where to perform the spell, and it would be wonderful if they could end it with a more enchanting touch.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

Upon stepping into the room, fans of the beloved Harry Potter series will immediately feel a sense of nostalgia wash over them as they come face to face with a plethora of iconic elements from the magical world. While the room may initially appear unassuming, a closer inspection reveals lots of challenges waiting to be unraveled. The most challenging aspect of this game is the need to search and identify various details in a dimly lit space. Do you think you possess the wits to save Hogwarts?
