The second room we done at Revelstuck was the School of Magic. In this scenario, the Order of the Serpent had managed to restore the secret of the Alchemist Stone, while the Dark Lord is on the verge of rising. The wise and brave students are the only hope for the School of music. Could we escape in time with the Alchemist Stone before the conspirators returned in 60 minutes? While we found the scenario intriguing, it felt somewhat generic and lacked a unique twist.
The decors were good but failed to fully immerse us in the magical atmosphere of a Wizarding school. Additionally, the purpose of each room was unclear. We also observed some damage on a puzzle, which provided significant clues to solve it. Otherwise, we enjoyed the music that was playing in this room!
The puzzles were fun to solve and not too hard. They were all related to the theme and it was mostly automatic mechanisms and a few traditional locks. However, we were disappointed to encounter instances where the same answer was used for different puzzles. The hints were given using a walkie talkie which is fine.
Overall, we liked this room because of the great puzzles but the decors could be improved a bit. It’s family friendly and better suited for small groups of 2-3 people. We were happy with our performance as we finished with a good time. We liked it and we escaped!
