📖 THE STORY

Alistair Drakar, the most notorious criminal in the magical underground has finally been caught but not before he has kidnapped the crown dragon Sindur and sealed her inside a chest in his dungeon. The location of his infamous lair has been located but it is up to you to find a way in and save Sindur.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• This was an all tech room and it was fantastic. No magical room would be complete without the use of wands, which we needed to navigate a bulk of the puzzles.

• There was a nice variety of puzzle types in the room. The puzzles were big enough that we were not all cramped around a single item. We also found that the puzzles helped everyone participate as they were much easier with more people helping out.

• This was a great high-quality room that was completely immersive. The effects we encountered along the way made the experience that much better. The starting intro video and the outro video really had the room start on a high note and finish with a high note.

• Just a fun note that we appreciated was that during the introduction video, nothing in the room was activated and the room was dark. This forces people who normally begin searching the room immediately to watch the intro video.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• Some of the puzzles had buttons that were lit up and you needed to select the correct buttons. We found the buttons to be so bright that at times, we had to cover them up to be able to see the puzzle.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

We love that the victory photo is taken with a polaroid camera. You get one to take home and one to stick somewhere in the lobby area. For any fans of Harry Potter, this is a must do room. We felt like Aurors heading into the dungeon. The linear room was high quality with a nice mix of puzzles that required the effort of everyone to make it through. For experienced players, this would be a challenge to play but also would be fun for any beginners as well. We played with 4 people but we can see 2 experienced players or 6 beginners and everything in between having a great time here. No matter how many people you come with, make sure to have your wands at ready, “Expelliarmus!”
