About the escape room
Exeter’s Ancient Magical lineage is under threat! The Isca Magica Concilium have permitted you entry into the Wyvern Wizarding Quarter. Despite your Nulmag (Non Magic Folk) status they have decided that your team can be trusted with some of their powers in order to recover their mystical Dragon egg which has provided magical power to Exeter for centuries. The Wizards of Wyvern is a magical adventure designed to test aspiring witches and wizards. For anyone who has been captivated by the spellbinding world of Harry Potter or embarked into the worlds of Azeroth or Westeros. We wanted to create a room to capture and share some fantasy! This room features arguably the highest specification of technology of any room in the South West of the UK to make the magic come to life! Exeter boasts a rich magical history that dates back to the legendary Great Dragon Dumnonia. This majestic creature bestowed a magical egg upon the city, which radiated power to a select few, endowing them with the gifts of witchcraft and wizardry. For centuries, the Isca Magica Concilium has overseen Exeter’s magical community, although persecution has driven them into hiding, creating secret sanctuaries like the Wyvern Wizarding Quarter. Now, this magical egg—the source of all magical power—has been stolen, causing the magic within those blessed to slowly fade. The council has granted your team access to the hidden quarter, tasking you with recovering the stolen egg. Do you and your team possess the skills and power to prevent the loss of magical energy from Exeter forever?
Important information and features of the escape room
Access to children ages 5 & under is free, but their places would still contribute to the maximum room capacity. Some rooms feature darkness and/or loud noises as well as potential scares, however speak to your games host and they will help accordingly. Children aged 16 and under will need a participating adult aged 18 or over as part of their team entering the experience. Whilst our rooms are suitable for all ages (i.e. a family group) they are designed to challenge adults. We therefore do not recommend any primarily children-focused groups (i.e. children's birthday parties) that are under the age of 12. We have seating areas and ask pregnant visitors to take extra caution. Some experiences include physical aspects that may not be suitable for heavily pregnant visitors. Consult your doctor if unsure. The door remains open during the game for safety and convenience. You may exit or use the toilet but the timer will not stop. No liquids or alcohol allowed on site. No filming or photography inside the games. Arrive 15 minutes early for briefing. Limited free parking on site, alternative parking on Clifton Hill Road (2 hours max).

AI Overview

AIReviews consistently praise the hosting team by name, the smooth game flow, and a creative mix of tech, locks, and tactile puzzles. Players highlight a cinematic finale, playful humor, and strong theming that suits both kids and adults. Difficulty feels adjustable, with helpful in‑character hints and even a hard mode for enthusiasts. Several note the room is fairly linear and works best with smaller teams.
WeaknessesFew complaints surfaced; the linear flow can leave larger groups with idle hands, and it’s not aimed at horror fans. Some newer teams needed a fair number of hints. Space and task load seem best for small groups.
StrengthsImmersive set design, witty touches, and a few standout magical effects make the room feel special. Puzzles are varied, logical, and well maintained, with some original interactions. Hosting is warm, attentive, and often personalized.
SecurityStaff give clear briefings and keep a close eye on progress, with no safety issues reported. The set and props feel sturdy and well looked after.
Level of fearNot scary; it leans whimsical over spooky, with humor and wonder rather than jumps. Families and younger players who avoid fright should be comfortable here.
Actors' gameGuests rave about the GMs—Dan, Darcy, Ella—for being friendly, passionate, and on-theme. Hints are delivered playfully and at the right moments, adding to immersion without breaking the vibe.
Quality of riddlesExpect a lively mix of physical tasks, classic locks, and interactive tech, plus an animatronic surprise or two. Communication matters on certain multi-space moments, but solutions feel fair once you connect the dots. Enthusiasts praised the originality; beginners appreciated the supportive clueing.
PlotYou’re deputized by Exeter’s wizarding council to recover a stolen dragon egg and restore the city’s magic. The story builds to a satisfying reveal without needing prior lore.
Difficulty levelScales well: beginners can lean on themed hints or choose medium, while veterans can push hard mode. The linear structure shines with 2–4 players; bigger teams might feel crowded.

Easily the most entertaining room I’ve done—atmosphere, set, story, and effects all sing. Loads of puzzle variety, pop‑culture nods, and legit laughs. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Dan welcomed us for a last‑minute evening slot and made it our new favorite game. The story, props, and unique mechanics showed real craft, and he even gave us a peek behind the curtain afterward, complete with his custom soundboard that personalized the run. We’ll be back for more.

Played as a three for my daughter’s 21st and had a blast. Inventive puzzles, great mix of challenges, and a friendly host who went the extra mile with in‑theme, laugh‑out‑loud clues. We asked for medium and still needed a few nudges, but it never spoiled the fun—perfect for younger players and adults alike.

Two of us cleared this linear room in good time without rushing. There’s a good mix with plenty of tactile moments and excellent props, plus animatronic and interactive surprises. Ella was a brilliant GM and timed help perfectly; we agreed 2–4 players is the sweet spot.

The newest Prodigy room lets you don cloaks, wave a wand, and hunt down a stolen dragon egg to revive Exeter’s magic. Smart use of both locks and tech kept surprises coming, and a few set pieces genuinely felt spellbinding. Communication across spaces mattered, but our teamwork paid off, and the finale hit just right. Fantasy and Potter fans will have a field day, with cheeky references sprinkled

Of the three rooms we tried, three of us picked this as the favorite. A strong variety of tasks kept us busy on hard mode with no clues, and the GM was excellent throughout. Definitely try all three rooms at Prodigy.

Brilliant family afternoon. The magic touches and final reveal had our teens buzzing, and the GM kept hints fun and in-world. Not scary at all, just clever and joyful.

Returned after loving The Lost Temple, this time with our two boys who dislike scary games. Staff were welcoming, the room was great fun, and it stayed friendly rather than spooky, which suited us perfectly.

Wonderfully quirky room with a smooth flow and a mix of puzzles, including a couple we hadn’t seen before. Dan’s hosting was superb and you can feel how passionate he and Lisa are. Easy to recommend for any group passing through Exeter.

Loved the wand work and the techy surprises. It’s pretty linear, so I’m glad we went as a pair—more people would’ve meant waiting around. Still an easy recommend.

We played on medium and still needed a handful of hints, but they were hilarious and never broke immersion. The ending lands perfectly.

Our host Dan was a star—funny, calm, and somehow always there when we needed a nudge. Puzzles clicked nicely and the props felt solid. Left grinning.

Another hit from Prodigy. The room looks fantastic and the flow is spot on, making it a joy to play. We’ve now finished all their rooms, and we’ll be back when they rebuild.
