Welcome to the Department of Magic - Edinburgh's magic themed Escape Rooms!

Don your robe, grab a wand and help the Department defeat the Dark Lord. Alternatively, join forces and help resurrect him from his magical crypt. You have 50 minutes, so choose a side, and hope your magic is powerful enough to complete your quest in time!

Afterwards, enjoy a butterbeer or create your own potion cocktails in the Magic Potions Tavern, and relax after fighting the good fight!

Each game is for 2-5 people, so grab your order and come save (or hinder!) the magical world!
