Wizard Quest

Totally not an escape room. Totally for escape room players who love adventure, exploration and magical settings. Instead of puzzles, you are completing multiple search quests to discover micro stories and unlock new quests. I do NOT like search quests in video games but LOVED doing search quests here. They have truly hit upon the magical formula.

Sublime. Absolutely magical. We drove from Niagara to Wisconsin (11+ hours) to play this game and it did not disappoint. After our first play, we went back the next morning to complete the remainder of the quests. Nothing has ever come close to giving me the same feeling video game discoveries do until now. It felt like actual magic.

While this is not an escape room, it's an experience that, as escape room enthusiasts, we really enjoyed. The set design and decor of this huge space was fantastic. There were so many times when we just stopped to admire the production of it all. We came across a few puzzles and did a lot of searching/exploring, which normally would not be our thing, but the four of us (all adults) had a blast. We didn't finish all the quests in our 2 hours, but we got further than we expected. We went around 6pm and it was fairly empty. To avoid crowds I would suggest you not go early in the day or after 8pm. We would love to see an option to save our progress so we could return and continue where we left off. If that would have been available, we would have returned to finish our quests. Also, the previous reviewers on here said there are live actors and prizes. We did not see any of that. There were a few staff standing around that will answer your questions, but it seemed more like they were there for security.

A great step up from the previous location. Very large and fun to explore. Even after 2 hours, we were still finding hidden passages and places we didn't see yet. The UI on the tablet is easy to follow and the quests are fun. I love that it saves your progress so that WHEN you come back (not if) you can continue from where you left off. Live actors will be able to point you in the right direction should you get a little stumped.

Wizard Quest is a breathtaking one-of-a-kind experience! While you are not strictly escaping, this large attraction features multiple quests spread out across 4 elemental fantasy-themed worlds. You get around 2-3 hours to complete as many as you can. The game utilizes a tablet device for players to interact with the quest givers and to solve quizzes. Most puzzles are exploration-based, and require running around the world and closely examining the environment. It’s truly immersive, and there are hidden paths and secret buttons all over the place. There are live actors who can give hints, and you can also collect items and real, tangible prizes from finishing quests. I can’t stress enough how impressive the life-size figures and detailed environment are, not to mention the voice acting. One of the best exploration game experiences I’ve ever had! Highly recommended if you are at Wisconsin Dells!
