Unlocking Magic: Our Impromptu Houdini Adventure at The Magic Doors

The third room we played at this venue was an spontaneous choice, driven by our enthusiasm from the previous room Mystères et Sortilèges. Houdini, the escape artist, invited us to prove our skills.

The game begins with us freeing ourselves from restraints and then solving various tasks, all themed around magic. The atmosphere and setting were once again well-crafted and fitting for the theme. Compared to the previous room, this one is a bit smaller, so we were glad to be there with no more than four players.

An advantage is that the language barrier barely affects this room. All puzzles are self-explanatory, and we progressed smoothly. If you’ve played the Houdini Academy room in Belgium, you’ll recognize some similarities and find your way quickly. In that case, I’d recommend trying one of the other two rooms instead.

Overall, this was a highly enjoyable experience, perfectly rounding off our day at The Magic Doors.
