Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost praise the immersion, set design, and special effects; many feel like they’re in a wizarding school. Common note: more experience than classic escape room, with few and rather easy puzzles. The intro is sometimes felt to be long, but the hint flow is highly immersive and the hosting is excellent. The room lands especially well with families and Harry Potter fans.

WeaknessesFor puzzle fans, often too few and too easy tasks; sometimes more searching and interaction than classic puzzling. The long, cinematic intro slows some down and the story occasionally feels a bit loose. Some found the puzzles less exciting than in other rooms by this provider.

StrengthsOutstanding scenery with lots of attention to detail, strong effects, and fitting sound. Interactive spells and a highly immersive hint system create “wow” moments. Staff are praised as warm and supportive to the play.

SecurityClear briefing, continuous accompaniment, and hints without breaking immersion. A short group split works smoothly according to feedback; occasional wait time at the door was mentioned, but the game itself feels well organized.

Level of fearNot scary—more fairytale-like and friendly. Kids visibly had fun; reports say it worked very well with 10–12-year-olds.

Actors' gameGame masters like Yvonne, Chantal, or Gina are repeatedly praised for charm, timing, and well-tuned hints. Interaction stays immersive; clues blend organically into the wizarding world.

Quality of riddlesFew puzzles, mostly easy to moderate, but well embedded and fair. The focus is on interaction, effects, and small search tasks rather than code locks. Puzzle purists may feel underchallenged; beginners and families feel comfortable.

PlotYou’re right in the middle of wizarding school, tasked with protecting the Golden Phoenix while also mastering your wand exam. The story mainly carries the experience and remains understandable without spoilers.

Difficulty levelOn the easier side, ideal for newcomers, families, and experience-focused groups. Experienced puzzle fans should primarily enjoy the show and the setting.

As the second stop on our tour, we found the puzzles less strong than in 'Frankenstein', but the effects and the interactive magic are truly impressive. The decor, sound, and atmosphere are top-notch—especially a treat for Potter fans. Clear recommendation.

A must for Harry Potter fans, more of an experience than a classic escape room. We found the puzzles generally coherent; toward the end it becomes more about searching. The long intro could have been shortened a bit for my taste, but overall it’s highly recommended.

Played with two 12-year-olds who loved it — so did I. At one point the group is split up, which is handled really well by the immersive clues. Recommended equally for children and adults; it truly feels magical.

From the very first moment you’re immersed, and you shouldn’t see it as a classic escape room. It’s a seamless, immersive experience with impressive scenery and strong effects. For me, an absolute must-play.

A cheerful adventure, especially for families and Potter fans. Creatively designed, not many codes or tough puzzles, but lots of magic and charm instead. Overall very well-rounded.

Beautifully crafted, no question. But too much searching for and saying “the right words,” too little thinking. For me, the story felt a bit erratic.
