Mark as done to rate

For a thousand and one years before the days of Aladdin, genies have been granting wishes to those fortunate enough to find one of their magical lamps. Each genie, by the code and laws of all magical things, must grant precisely 1,000 wishes before they are released from their service within the lamp. These wishes must be fulfilled in no less than 500 years. Balazar Bolderdash, a genie of exceptionally good disposition, has served faithfully in his own Magic Lamp for 499 years, 364 days and 23 hours and granted 999 wishes exactly. The last wish however, has been lost somewhere within the Magic Lamp. Find the wish and free Balazar before his time runs out!

I think the only negative thing I can write in my review is that I can never experience this for the first time again. The staff was incredibly helpful. Came out in costume and had an accent. Held it the entire experience. Such a great choice. From the moment you walk in the room you are transported into another realm! Such swonderfjo use of scenery!

Gameplay

Everything flowed nicely into each other. Constant going back and forth to different areas to grab things.

Atmosphere

Such good use of tech. The set design was easily one of the best we had ever seen. So beautiful and interactive.

I totally get all of the awards this room has won. Oh my gosh this room is seriously amazing. We had a bit of a hiccup with our babysitter so we brought our son to do this room and it was an absolute blast. Everything about this room makes you feel magical.

The scenery, props, and high tech mechanics were phenomenal! Our GM stayed in character from the moment we met them up until our escape, too. They are also able to customize the room to accommodate different sized groups, different ages, and different skill levels. Our GM even upped the difficulty in the middle of the game when they realized that my husband and I had mistakenly chosen too low of a level. This room in particular was whimsical and had a charming, immersive storyline. I recommend it for kids and adults alike!

Gameplay

Spectacular set design!

Customer service

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Much more high tech than I’m used to seeing, it made it very whimsical.

Story

Very immersive story!

Difficulty

Hard

Every room is customizable, they ask you what difficulty you want it set to. Our GM even ramped up the difficulty mid game since we found it a bit too easy, which was unique and made these guys stand out.

Game tech

High tech

It felt like we were on the set of a movie!

Ideal number of players

They will adjust the game for smaller groups (we just had us two and it was fine) but they recommended 4

Did this a few years ago. Is a great super fun room. Gnome & raven is one of my favorite er’s. They always always deliver. The set was amazing. The puzzles were fun and the story was awesome. They do so well with props and sets.

This room was absolutely gorgeous and a fun ambience. The puzzle quality was alright, I didn’t find it to flow super well and it did leave me frustrated at times, as we needed a few hints to keep things going. Lots of red herrings. But overall the set design was so immersive and fun. Not my favorite puzzle play.
