Room Description: 

In the Wizarding World there are rumours of three magical artefacts that can give immense power to the possessor. You get word that some wizards, suspected of being supporters of dark magic, are going in search of the artefacts tonight.  

You have one hour to secure the artefacts before the dark wizards begin their search!

Comments:
The Sorcerer's Secret at the new Penrith venue marked my 25th escape room experience and the 22nd for our group, and it was truly amazing. As expected from Scram, especially their new venues, the quality was top-notch. The pre-room area was fresh and modern, and the actual room had a beautiful aesthetic—another excellent production by Scram.

The theming and immersion were spot on, with a good mix of lock, key, and high-tech puzzles. The room's quality was almost perfect, as expected from a new establishment. Our Gamesmaster was enthusiastic and hosted us well, although we did have a minor issue with them attempting to steer us in the right direction when we were already cruising with 20 minutes on the clock. Despite this, we managed to escape with 12 minutes remaining and unanimously agreed that we had a lot of fun.

Tonight's room also brought us another fortunate moment of pure hilarity when we discovered Luke's shortcomings with the English language are almost on par with Simon's issues with mathematics.

We're eagerly anticipating the release of a new room from the same branch at Scram!
