The Escapologist Selby: The Wizards Castle

Riddled with reset errors and broken props. GM not watching the game so sending through clues for puzzles we had already solved. 

Sadly, playing this game has put us off playing any other games by this chain. 

Probably a good thing that this has closed.

I feel that this room was ok, and thats it. The host wasn't particularly great, but feel like they were under trained more than anything else. 

The room was cluttered, and it was hard to distinguish what was and wasnt a clue, so it took us a while to get in to it. There was also a directional lock in the room that the host had to come in and help us with, and when I asked how often they had to do that, they said, with every group...that to me screams BUY A NEW LOCK! Then the ending was slightly confusing too, as we found a particular item, that was similar to others we found in the game, but this was apparently the important one, but there was nothing indicating that this was the important one, and when I questioned it, the answer was, because it was the last one we found (how were we meant to know this?).

So, they are the negatives. I feel that this game has a lot of potential, but whoever the owner is clearly has more interest in running the bar downstairs than the escape rooms, which shows. 

The positives are that most of the puzzles seems to make sense once you found them, and the theming, although cluttered, made sense with the storyline. 

I will say though, for a magical room...there was no magic.
