★★★★★“A fun escape room with a great host. Stan made the experience engaging, leaned into the story and really levelled up our experience. We had a great time!”
★★★★★“Went here with my brother. We are two foreign adults in our twenties. We have both tried other escape rooms before. The game was perfect. Suitable difficulty for us, although we should have been one or two persons more to solve it in time. Staff/game master were engaging and professional and made the experience more fun. Easy booking on their website. Not nesessary to be familiar with the Harry Potter universe, although the concept is based on it.”
★★★★★“We were traveling from Chicago and looked for a fun, enjoyable activity to follow up our Harry Potter tour around Edinburgh city center. This was the perfect combo! We did the Prophecies Escape Room which was such a great time! Elsa, our game master, was so welcoming and thorough- as well as a great hint giver (only when we asked of course). We didn’t get the chance to do the potions part in the tavern but it is definitely bookmarked for our return visit. 10/10 recommend for visitors and locals for fans of Harry Potter and/or escape rooms in general!”
