[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]High above the lights of Hollywood, past velvet ropes and through secret passages, the depths of the Magic Castle became home to an elusive pop-up escape room for a fleeting moment. Immersed had the honor of being locked away (and escaping!) Mysterium<\/i> in a preview before its official three-night run.<\/p>\n
A radio message, a mystery, and suddenly you are thrust almost a hundred years back in time. Set during the formative years of the Prohibition Era, when magic shows are at the height of popularity and escape artists are at war to prove who is the bravest and best, Mysterium<\/i> follows the world-famous magician and escape artist of the same name set to perform his final illusion. Locked in a trunk, bound by chains, it soon becomes clear that Mysterium is the victim of sabotage, by a jealous rival out to end his career\u2026 and his life. With no way to escape, it is up to your team of show-goers to free him. Only you can save Mysterium by finding the five keys hidden throughout the theatre before he runs out of air. Art Deco details and soft lighting are a backdrop as you solve well designed puzzles while the clock ticks to the beat of the record player.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ryka0Wlr76I&feature=youtu.be”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Brought to life by Creative Directors Jen Ovadia and Josh Stern, with the help of technical designer Todd Kreisman, Mysterium<\/i> was a thoroughly magical experience. While escape artists (or escape room enthusiasts) will recognize the use of codes, lights, and keys, magicians will recognize materials used in the puzzles such as cards, rings, and hidden compartments. The non-linear game-play featured a wonderful blend of technical aspects and nods to the history of magic.<\/p>\n
