It also leads to potentially pyrrhic victories where as a team you might have gone through the short sequence of puzzles faster and hence left yourselves more time for the endgame. Escape rooms are about teamwork, so a challenge room where you’re competing against your teammates goes against the grain. I’m always interested in different puzzle structures within experiences, and this room has one that I’ve not encountered in previous games: a solo section with very similar challenges that the players solve in parallel. Given these puzzles as standalone challenges, there’s little here that would hold up a team. It’s much more about finding the connection between different parts of the game and then making the right deduction. It’s worth saying that I don’t think the puzzles themselves are hard: I rarely came across anything that required a huge amount of thought. Don’t get too carried away, though this is a tougher game than you might imagine from those opening challenges. Newer players will probably find those helpful in getting a feeling for what escape rooms are all about, while enthusiasts are likely to find they give an exciting start to proceedings as they race through the early stages of the room. The game starts off with plenty of direction to hint at what you need to do, and we found that meant we made short work of the early puzzles. Fans of this style of theming are going to have a fantastic time just being in the space and marvelling at each new element they encounter. Furthermore, where other games may give you a feeling of exploration, here you get a sense that you’re progressing through the exam, taking on challenges in appropriate settings to prove your worth as a wizard. They’ve created a wizarding world that is obviously influenced by Harry Potter without feeling like it’s treading on the Warner Bros franchise’s toes. Locked In Glasgow create consistently good sets, but School of Magic was by far the best when we visited. Before entering the game, you’re assigned to a school clan which, as I’ll talk about later, does have a small impact within the game.
Naturally, magic exams aren’t easy, so it shouldn’t be a surprise to find that the game takes a little longer, at 75 minutes, and that you require a minimum of four players (although you could play it with two if you really don’t have anyone else to drag along). In order to win a battle it is necessary a good strategy and a little bit of ability.Locked In Glasgow‘s School of Magic sees you taking on your final examination at wizarding school. Unlike other RPG games, Schools of Magic’s combat system has been designed to be easy to play, but dynamic. Furthermore, there will be weekly events where you can get exclusive items. You will be able to fight other mages from any country in the world in real-time combats. Schools of Magic mixes classic real-time RPG elements, like real-time combats, with the possibilities of mobile devices, and creates a new game experience. This will give you access to new spells, and items. Besides training their mage, you should build and expand your own school of magic. The path to become the best mage of all times is fulfill with powerful enemies and it requires training and a wisely resources management.
Ladies and gentlemen, please meet our new game: Schools of Magic.
Since that very moment, we knew our next game will be about magic, wizards, and sorcerers, and here it is. When we were working on the beta version of Empires of Sand, someone in the team asked: Why do they have portals? The answer was obvious: A wizard did it!
