Escaped!
Group:6
Recommended: 4-6
A great room with some interesting puzzles that really brings you into the living area of students staying at a magical school.
This jam-filled escape room did a lot to really immerses you in the experience, handing you wands at the start and walking you right into the study. The intro video was very quiet with some nice production value, walking the fine, fine line of showing you what Hog-....Pigwarts offers.
The puzzles themselves made good use of the wands for a while, but the quirk quickly ran out of steam as they were no longer needed. Cryptic clues in the room itself made some pieces feel more important then they actually were, and there were plenty of moments where we were left scratching our head, wondering why they didn't do something.
The big reveal in the room happens near the end. A couple cool tech bits are hidden away right before an agonizingly slow final reveal that seems anticlimactic when all of the puzzles leading up to it are so quickly pieced together.
I really enjoyed the room, the immersion and the theme; the puzzles left a bit to be desired and the finale could have been better built up, but overall it's still a high quality room that's worth the visit!
