How Long Will I need?

You will have 50 minutes of game time, but you should arrive 15 minutes before to relax and settle in at the Magic Potions Tavern and grab tankard of something special..

How Many? How Old?

Department of Magic is designed to be played by groups of between 2 and 6 people. However, if you're part of a bigger group, we regularly book both our games so your teams can compete against each other! Whilst we design the game to be as accessible as we can, the nature of the experience means that children under the age of 10 may find some of the puzzles difficult.

Is Department of Magic Accessible?

The Magic Potions Tavern is located down one flight of stairs; however, the Dark Lord Resurrection is accessible, as you do not need to actually enter the Tavern to access this game and the game is located is on ground level. Please note in your booking that you will require that your Games Master meet you outside the Tavern and escort you to the escape game.
