Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost praise the set design, attention to detail, and friendly hosting, sometimes even in character. The puzzles are described as fair and balanced, leaning easy to medium and plentiful. Hints are elegantly woven into the story and arrive exactly when needed. Experienced players might wish for a bit more bite, but the fun factor stays high.
WeaknessesAt times the mix of different magical inspirations feels a bit uneven. For pros it’s rather too easy; some would have preferred a tougher finale. Hardly any concrete criticism of tech or flow.
StrengthsGorgeous set, atmospheric story, and a clear, well-rounded dramaturgy. Game Masters act charmingly and partly in character, with tips that fit in organically. Many puzzles for a breezy hour.
SecurityNo specific safety notes in the reviews; no incidents mentioned. The team seems attentive and helpful, providing a good sense of safety.
Level of fearNot scary, no horror reported. Therefore well suited for children and sensitive players.
Actors' gameThe game master is repeatedly praised, comes across as warm, and is partly integrated as a character. Hints arrive in-story and are lovingly implemented; one review even mentions a "great act".
Quality of riddlesHigh puzzle variety, with logic perceived as fair and clear. Difficulty ranges from easy to medium, with nice aha moments instead of frustration. More flow than head-scratching, without wild trial and error.
PlotYou take your magical exam in a living library full of potions and talking books. The story carries you elegantly through the room, without unnecessary lulls or breaks.
Difficulty levelTends toward easy to medium, ideal for first-timers and mixed groups. Puzzle experts will get through, but may find too little resistance.

Incredibly lovingly designed; the atmosphere and story mesh perfectly. The puzzles had just the right level of spice for me, and the game master was part of the story—unusual and very cool. Unreservedly recommended!

Beautiful decor, great props, and a really cohesive flow—we were instantly immersed in the story. The puzzles were fair, more on the medium side, and the hour flew by. Clear recommendation for a city trip to Cologne.

A colorful mix of different magic-themed set pieces, with plenty to do and a packed hour. Our game master was super nice and helped us out twice. A good choice for Harry Potter fans; overall rather easy.
