We visited as a family of four; two adults, an 11 year old and a 13 year old. In both the University of Magic and Virginia House the 11 year old was more than capable of cracking some of the clues or contributing to the solutions.As noted above, clues are also available from the team behind the scenes which can help if the adults in the room want to take more of a back seat. Although you will probably need to guide your 11 year olds, you may also need to resist the temptation to solve the clues for them!! Hope your group enjoy the experience.

We paid £20 each for a group of 4.

There’s a box as you enter the escape room to put all your belongings in

For sure! They were some of the easier but more immersive escape rooms I’ve been to. The ‘University of Magic’ room is very immersive, nothing is above adult shoulder height and there’s plenty for kids to help search for, even if they struggle with the cryptic problem-solving aspect. In my opinion that would be perfect for a ten year old to join in with, especially if they are fans of Harry Potter. Even if not, no prior knowledge of Harry Potter is required, as for legal reasons the names of houses and all the other Potter-esque stuff has been changed anyway! The Gem Runner game would also be suitable for a ten year old, though probably a lot less fun! It’s slightly more taxing on the brain and set-up like a bank, so not all that exciting a room at first glance. Plenty enjoyable for a group of quizzical adults, but, in my opinion, unlikely to be as much fun for your child. I hope that helps! Good luck and enjoy!

Hi the games takes 1 hour Allow 15 min extra for photo at end and intro at beginning

There were 4 of us so I’m afraid I can’t help... The room wasn’t huge tho so 7 of you may trip over each other...!

Hi Damar20082018 We have a lot of customers play our games whose first language is not english. As you can imagine it does add another level of difficulty, with clues there may be language barriers but we do everything possible to accommodate for this. (Use google translate for example if necessary) We would recommend playing Espionage or Gem Runner. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact us on 0161 425 2580 Kind Regards Team Lucardo

They play background music. It’s not too loud but I’m sure they could turn it down if you ask

No not at all
