Even before you started attending the Magicarium, the international school for young aspiring wizards, you heard rumors about Professor Wumblemore.
Whenever he was not teaching, he was experimenting with new potions and spells in his workshop close to the school.
Students were forbidden to go there, but one evening you and your friends noticed that the door was open and you somehow managed to stumble in there.
Immediately the door slammed behind you and you stood face to face with …. a slightly overweight talking cat.

What People Say About This Game?
Fun family night
I’m an author looking for ideas to spin off my books so I’m constantly subjecting my family to game ideas. I selected Houdini’s Secret Room.
Notes: There were 8 of us. Definitely too large of a group. The guys sat back and watched. I’m don’t remember why I selected Houdini — my youngest is 17, so we are far outside the target age group. We solved the puzzle with no hints but did need to put on our thinking caps.
The storyline was fun. The puzzles matched the theme and, as I stated above, made us think. They would be excellent for the intended age group.
Our only problem was with the app. When we got to the final puzzle, it would not accept our answer. We selected the correct item and received the “are you sure” message, but could not, find a way to submit the answer. We tried for a good ten minutes, inadvertently selecting the wrong item twice. But those were accidents and we couldn’t figure out how we got it to accept the answer. We finally gave up and I verified our choice in the solutions guide. A bit anticlimactic, but it was a fun night.
Great Indoor Activity for Bday Party
I ordered this for my daughter’s 11 year old bday party and it was a hit! It wasn’t too hard or too easy. They needed the hints and loved that they could get them from the app. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I printed everything out on cardstock as suggested. We did have 7 girls and they didn’t want to be separated so they did it as one big group. It was slightly too large of a group as some would feel not involved at times. Up to 5 is recommended and I should have followed that guidance. I highly recommend it to anyone!
Good family time
My family (with 2 boys: 9yo + 13yo) just completed ‘Professor Swen’s Lab’ as part of a holiday family activity. It was a lot of fun, and I appreciated the app, which allowed everyone to participate. Driving the mad mobile around the map for the first challenge was fun for my 9yo. I would say it’s more age appropriate for 8-11yo kids.
My scouts loved it
Every year my Girl Scout Troop does an escape room at our last meeting before winter break. This was our fourth year, and our second year using one from Escape Room Geeks.
Today we did Houdini’s Secret Room with 13 nine and ten year olds, split into 3 groups. Everything went perfectly, and the app was an excellent addition. One group finished with 27 minutes to spare, and the other two made more use of the hints and were able to finish in time though they struggled a little more.
Everything was really well laid out, and the girls had an amazing time.
I’m seriously considering ordering another one to do at our last meeting before summer break.
Your perfect at home date night
We played with my wife Silver Screen Sleuths and loved every second of it. Downloading the game was all I needed to do and we could solve this after putting our kids to bed. We loved the comic style and all the puzzles are so clever. The story makes sense from beginning to the end. I hope to play more like this in the future
They Will Enjoy in:
A magical and light-hearted quest to obtain the recipe for the professor’s secret potion.
Finding hidden objects throughout the room and in the game’s artwork.
Fun little crafting project using scissors and glue to assemble the professor’s four hats.
Five interactive games that challenge the players’ skills in rhyming, observing, remembering, counting, hitting targets, and guessing numbers.
Four escape-room-style puzzles with a generous hint system to ensure that players succeed.
The feeling of progress as they fill out the three missing pieces of the recipe with a pen.
All driven by you, the game host, in the role of a slightly overweight cat (step-by-step manuscript provided).

Not sure?
Need advice?
Can I print it in B&W?
Sure, you can print it in black and white! Color doesn’t have any role in this game, except that the art comes to the fore when is color printed.
Where can I set it up?
It can be played anywhere you want! No matter how big or small is the place, every space can be used 🙂 You can even set it up outside!
Is Game Master necessary?
Yes! The moderator plays an important role in the whole experience!
Do I need a computer?
No, it is a fully tactile and off-screen game! But, in order to save on cartridge and paper, we recommend opening the “Game Master Guide” from any device that has a PDF viewer!
How many pages are there to print?
The game itself has 15 illustrations that must be printed! You’ll also get many posters and invitations that are optional for printing and use. Each printer is different and so is each cartridge, but for one copy of the game, you won’t use much of any cartridge!
Can the kids play it individually?
The concept of this game is based on teamwork and brainstorming, which brings so much fun. Every child can try solving the puzzles individually, but if you have a chance to team up at least two kids (or kid and adult), it would be more interesting for them.
What is the best type of paper to print it on?
Regular home/office (Letter or A4) paper is just fine. You can use some thicker paper, but don’t go more than 215 gsm (paper weight). Glossy paper can also enrich the art, but that’s optional.
