Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost praise the atmosphere, effects, and very friendly team; many mention that hints were helpful and well‑dosed. The start is seen as tricky and partly too dimly lit, after that it flows smoothly. Families had lots of fun, even with kids from about 8, and horror‑averse players feel comfortable. The price is sometimes perceived as higher, but balances out with a larger group; rare criticism concerns puzzle taste and a bit of a franchise vibe.

WeaknessesThe first room is too dark for some, making the start needlessly harder. Not everyone will warm to the puzzle style; for a few it feels a bit franchise‑like. Not exactly cheap, but group‑friendly.

StrengthsCoherent, elaborate setting with fitting sound makes the story tangible. Creative, fair puzzles and an attentive, warm team create a smooth flow. Family‑ and beginner‑friendly, yet still engaging for experienced players.

SecurityBriefing and supervision feel solid and attentive, no issues were reported. Other, more difficult rooms sometimes have age limits; the wizard one worked smoothly with kids.

Level of fearHardly any scare, more magic and surprises – suitable for kids with supervision. If you avoid horror, this is just right.

Actors' gameAbove all, the friendly staff is praised; the hosting feels present but not intrusive. Hints are targeted and help without spoiling.

Quality of riddlesPuzzles are varied, logically solvable, and creatively linked, with a punchy start. With in‑game hints it stays fair and fluid. Overall medium, a bit easier than hardcore rooms like Saw or 1408, but not trivial.

PlotYou break into a wizard’s chambers to snatch the elixir of life before he returns from the forest. The story carries the room and relies on effects rather than shock.

Difficulty levelMedium difficulty with a steep learning curve at the beginning; feels especially well‑rounded for four. Beginners make it with hints, experienced players still have plenty to do.
