What we loved most about our escape game was how different it felt from others in London. While there are a great number of escape rooms in the UK, many with a wizard theme, Enigma Quest has managed to find a truly interactive way to solve puzzles that requires a full team effort. The game had elements that genuinely surprised us, providing a level of interactivity that is rare to see nowadays. The puzzle-solving methods were a welcome departure from the traditional lock-and-key format, which was a refreshing challenge for us from the start. We won’t say too much more to avoid spoilers and to assist you in your own attempt to escape! The theming was solid, and we appreciated the journey through multiple, good-sized rooms and the satisfying amount of puzzles we solved. The difficulty felt about right for a medium-level room; while challenging at points, we managed to solve everything in good time without getting too stressed or needing much help.

Ultimately, we loved the launch of this room at Enigma Quest Holborn, and it partners perfectly with their Enigma Arcade experience. Putting both on your calendar will make for a fantastic day out in London. If you need a breather before or after your mission, you can relax in their bar, which offers a selection of unique cocktails alongside a typical fully stocked bar. They even have board games scattered about to keep you occupied while you have a drink.

A huge thank you to the team at Enigma Quest for inviting us to a press preview, which gave us a complimentary experience in both The World of Witchcraft & Wizardry and another look around the Arcade. We are huge fans of the venue and look forward to trying out the other two games in the near future.
