📖 THE STORY

You are the apprentice to Melvar the Mystic, a powerful wizard. Today is the day for you to show your teacher what you have learned as he’s trapped himself in another dimension! If you don’t reverse the spell in time, he’ll be lost there forever!

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • Being that this is a wizard’s chamber, we were anticipating some “magical” moments and we were not disappointed. Some examples that we’ve encountered were phenomena like the holographic effect and a speaking skull.

  • In this game, we were more impressed by the set design outside rather than inside.

  • One of the mechanisms used to perform a magical spell on was pretty neat.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • The Decor in the first room didn’t really match up to the other rooms. If felt a bit dull in comparison.

  • One of the visual puzzles was a bit of a stretch as the word was spelled incorrectly when we were trying to read it so we had to “guess” on the solution.

  • The storyline wasn’t really reflected in this room. Although we were solving puzzles, they felt like individual tasks but didn’t really tie in together to the final release of the wizard.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This room had a good amount of puzzles which is probably why it’s ranked as one of their hardest rooms. If you are looking for a room that will allow you to spread your tasks and utilize some teamwork, this is the perfect room for that. Most of the time, the room was non-linear and with a team of two, we definitely had to divide and conquer in order to make it out on time!
