Can escape from Azkaban in one hour?

Sirius Black did his waiting... 12 years of it... In Azkaban! Can you be faster and discovered how to escape from Azkaban in one hour?

Project Escape in Conshohocken is challenging muggles and wizards to escape its Harry Potter-inspired room.

Black had several years to regain his strength and slip past the Dementors who guard the prison, but those who book The Wizard's Secret at Project Escape only have an hour to set themselves free. Project Escape opened its original room The Big Score: The Heist of the Century last year. The Wizard's Secret is the second room available at the location and is now available for booking. What is an Escape Room? If you haven’t participated in an escape room challenge before (I'm one of that persons) let me explain: Their popularity surged overseas in Asia, and have since spread quickly from country to country. Inspired by mobile escape the room games, this is a real life version where you and a team are placed in a scenario where you are encouraged to touch and play with items in the room to hopefully solve all the puzzles and eventually... 'Escape the Room!'Every escape room is different! Each room offers a completely new set of puzzles. Project Escape currently has only one room, but we're building quickly! It’s like a videogame for people who like to get out of the house. All you need to do is gather some friends and choose an escape room of your liking. There are so many fun themes to choose from. Your crew will get an hour to solve puzzles or a mission. The idea comes from the “escape the room” video games. How it works?

The game's story is that participants have been tricked by dark wizards and forced to take their spots in the wizard prison. Players have to use potions, spells and magic to escape. You need to get together with some of your friends (up to 10 for private parties!) and book a time! While in the game, you and your team must work together to solve the puzzles laid out for you and escape within 1 hour. This is an interactive and cooperative game. You're expected to work with your teammates and explore the scenario laid out in front of you. While doing so, you'll be exposed to a intricate back story, and feel like you're right in the middle of it! How much does it cost? The cost is $29 per person. How many people can play? For the Wizard's Secret, they require a minimum of 3 players to book a new time slot. However, if you have less than that, you can always join a preexisting group that has availability.The maximum is 8 players. I want to do this! How can I play? Tickets to The Wizard’s Secret are $29 each. Hurry and check Project Escape’s website for available dates and times if you want to play. The escape the room game is open to all ages, but since the puzzles can be challenging, those 12 and older may have the most fun with the experience. Just remember that anyone under 18 is required to have adult supervision.
