I can't complete the fog puzzle. The deluminator doesn't have a key/clue icon by it's name so it might not recognize it? On of the black potion bottles in the fire room is labeled differently from the others. The Grewth's Remedy is marked as a clue while all the other bottles are labeled as keys. Also where in the world can I find a potion instruction sheet I haven't found it anywhere.

Way too buggy. Had to restart multiple times, already from the beginning scene. I couldn't even able to finish it due to bugged quest. Nice idea, but it has to be fixed and some riddles need to be more understandable, some objects are shown like they're useful. Not a great experience.

A gravestone on an anvil got bugged, so I had to restart the room.
Otherwise -- a great one, thanks!!!

No bug for me (I played solo). The map was cool and the puzzle were nice, I really like the weather puzzle, but it was waaaaaaay too dark. At some points, I needed hints, not because I didn't understood, but just because I couldn't see a thing. I could not figure where the door of the shop were, and if it was not for the padlock, I would never have seen the cabinet. The decrees were really hard to place, because once I removed them, I couldn't see the frames. Red and orange letters were also the same exact shade.
With more light, it would have been awesome.

We had to restart multiple times because of bugs. Worst room we've played so far. Huge waste of time. We played through just to give it thumbs down. Most people won't get to the end so they can't review it.

I got stuck in place when the 3rd crate opened, no idea how it happened :((

Cool room but we had some problems with the map for the village line and what was the "de-luminator" for ? the white flashbang thing

Just to add some info to what is otherwise a great room: My wife and I were unable to finish the room due to a bug which is supposedly fixed, but definitely happened to us. We put the staff through the painting and couldn't retrieve the staff or key from either room. Dead in the water there.

Additionally, on our first playthrough my wife put one of the graves down while standing to close to it and got physically trapped in it. I don't know if it's possible to make it so you can walk through them once they're placed, but if so that may prevent it from happening in the future.

Finally, while we did pick up the candle (and even attempted to use it on the cloth, we just didn't find the spot in the corner) we didn't check thoroughly because the item itself didn't have the icon indicating it was something which should be used. We assumed it was either decorative or used for ambient light that could be moved around.

Neat room with some good ideas. But we only got 5 pumpkins out of 7. The others seem to have never spawned. Completed everything else but this part and had to end it.

This is so buggy that it deserves a negative score.

A promising room that's destroyed by many, many bugs that the author "can't fix" (read "won't fix, and chooses to blame on players")

Of course, it gets a 5/5 score because the people who have issues with it (looks to be 80% or so of people) can't actually give it a thumbs down because they can't finish it.

Very cool room, with only one or two lame puzzles that didn't really make sense (candle and using the staff). Also the lighting is pretty awful. The rest of the room was quite fun!
Ulq.Cifer Mar 20, 2023 @ 5:10pm 
Sadly too buggy.
Candle bug can be fixed by throwing newspaper in it, but staff being stuck in painting not fixable =(
Myuze Mar 13, 2023 @ 11:34am 
i completed every aspect of the map but i think the map glitched and the final most obvious gravestone cant be picked up :')
InnocentFluffycorn Mar 12, 2023 @ 11:22am 
Great Map, but sadly i couldn,t finish it. I had a an bug with the Transportation Crate... i wanted to get the Lock open with the Master Code but after i put the CORRECT Number in, nothing happens. The Lock didn,t open to enter the Chest and so one of the necessary Items in this Room is completly broken. Thats not good. I didn,t throw anything on the floor and followed your Instruction at the beginning, but it wasn,t of use at it seems. I hope you can try to fix rhis bug at least =).

Couldn't finish this, because we couldn't pick up the candle, we are sad. :(
Neverlight Mar 11, 2023 @ 12:07pm 
Had one bug, with the glasses crashing the map. The cabinet code didnt make any sense to me. Other than that a great map indeed

This room was fantastic. I've done A LOT of rooms. I saw things in here that I'd never seen before. Well done! Thanks for a great room!
Celery Clinton Feb 16, 2023 @ 2:23pm 
I can not able to join to room, it lags my game
Quipp Feb 5, 2023 @ 3:36am 
Too buggy to be enjoyable. Played through twice for more than an hour each and both times I was stopped by unfix-able bugs right near the end.

So I partially played trough the room. We could not progress because of bugs with the painting. My main problem with the room for me was that it was very dark. I had the feeling it was darker then intended, since there were items on the wall that I was not able to see due to the dark post processing effects (I checked out the room in the editor ;) ) Possibly your screen is calibrated too bright, or did you intent for it to be very dark? Other then that I think the room is very nice, just a shame there is quite some bugs, though i think this problem lies with the game and not your room. I think it is too complex for the game too handle properly, or perhaps it is multiplayer that causes it (I cannot confirm or deny this).

Anyway: Great room, can be buggy (no faulth to you), but imo very dark/high contrast. However I am looking forward to replaying this and for part 2. :steamhappy:

As of writing this, I didn't experience a single bug. Great room and I look for to subsequential parts. It's a must play for Harry Potter fans.
Reorgine Jan 21, 2023 @ 6:36pm 
Very buggy. Sad because i like Harry Potter Escape Rooms but the high amount of game breacking bugs in this one makes it unplayable. Espacially as you have to restart for every bug that appears... :(
Askaria Jan 20, 2023 @ 1:41pm 
Very detailed, we really enjoyed playing that room (: had a little bug (a lantern fell into the floor), but in the end we could have finished without needing to restart. A lot of diverse riddles, I'm looking forward for the other rooms! :D

Update: unintended, but we repeatedly shoved the chair at the watering can and knocked it down. This comment is for anyone else who gets stuck.
Mewoko Jan 16, 2023 @ 2:59pm 
Can't finish because of watering can--can't pick it up.
Drakin Jan 9, 2023 @ 12:54am 
I cant pick up the watering can. thus not able to finish.
TBP Jan 7, 2023 @ 9:19pm 
Nice concept but couldn't complete cuz of bug where staff could't be picked up after going through the painting :steamfacepalm:
Aomine Jan 6, 2023 @ 4:11pm 
Good Idea, but too many bugs sadly
AngryBirdsRCoolM8 Jan 6, 2023 @ 3:33am 
Couldn't grab the candle to burn fabric off painting, couldn't get key off of the golden key gate... was fun but glitchy, didn't end up completing the room.
Cycy Jan 1, 2023 @ 3:12pm 
We had a lot of fun doing this room. It was full of wonderfull idea.
But we had to relaunch 4 times to be able to collect all the items. No I know this room really well ! xD. Thank you =).

Sorry to hear that! That is a user side error probably due to poor connection.
-Swervin- Dec 25, 2022 @ 2:28pm 
Game crashed when 2 of us tried to load it up so we can't try it :(
Mahru Dec 25, 2022 @ 12:55pm 
Great Room again, thank you for the experience :-)

Bug we had:
We were stuck a long time until i used the walkthrough because the note für the Lift system from the RAIN BOX were no where to be found ( maybe it got stuck under the lid or blasted to who knows where ^^ )
MelonVerse  [author] Dec 22, 2022 @ 12:09pm 
Glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately random items become unpickable due to a bug that is out of my control.
Aydvien Dec 22, 2022 @ 10:49am 
Really amazing Room! We had a blast playing! Sadly we almost had to reset at the very end due to one of the gravestones being buggy so you can't pick it up! We got it though through clipping and looking in a weird direction! Thanks anyway!
deep6blue Dec 20, 2022 @ 2:54pm 
Really wish there was more light, I realize it doesn't fit the theme, But for people with vision impairments it would make a great option. FYI, yes the brightness and option are set to as high as they can go.
deep6blue Dec 20, 2022 @ 2:52pm 
When the snow crate opened, I got stuck and had to reset the game. I was so far into it! Bummer!!!. Don't open the crate while being directly in front of it.
MelonVerse  [author] Dec 19, 2022 @ 9:42am 
Yes! In the rules it says to not spam click for it could break puzzles, unfortunately this is something I cannot fix and is on the players side.
cjen Dec 19, 2022 @ 1:48am 
Also ran into a little bug where when when we grabbed the staff the key was stuck floating in the air and we couldn't grab it, but it seemed to be a one off thing and didn't happen again. Other than those two little issues we ran into we loved the room, very impressive and super well done!
cjen Dec 19, 2022 @ 1:45am 
I ran into a bug which prevented us from being able to properly do the decrees, and was able to reproduce in both single and multi player. (mechanic spoilers ahead) Basically if you spam click the glasses or have multiple people clicking it, then the glasses filter will stay on your screen the whole time, and the glasses don't go back on the wall. This would be fine, but although the glass cases that house the decrees properly show the shapes and words, the glass boxes around the room that have the number/shape pairings do not show, and there is no way to get them to show again. We got lucky brute forcing in multiplayer and was able to progress through that, but then I noticed it again and reproduced that by myself.
MelonVerse  [author] Dec 17, 2022 @ 8:10pm 
Correct!
Cheeky Dec 17, 2022 @ 7:39pm 
Ive tried restarting several times and can never get the posters to be clickable... Any solution for this? They're unclickable from the minute the map loads
Cheesegod Dec 16, 2022 @ 8:00pm 
3 people, 2 hours 31 minutes. we sucked

Our chest next to the chalkboard didn't open after completing all the tasks
Sloppy Hole Dec 14, 2022 @ 5:03pm 
How do I take off the glasses?
MelonVerse  [author] Dec 7, 2022 @ 3:09pm 
That is true! I have changed the way you interact with them. Have you tried magic?
Volatile Narwhal Dec 7, 2022 @ 3:03pm 
hello, have restarted the room and instead of the poster objective not being completed i can't interact with them at all like the user below :(
MrHunteru Dec 7, 2022 @ 1:18pm 
Hello hello! My girlfriend and I are trying to complete the room, and one of the biggest hurdles we can't get past is the Sirius Black posters. For some reason, we cannot interact with them at all. We've restarted the room multiple times and still cannot interact with them. Do we need something specific for these posters?
MelonVerse  [author] Dec 7, 2022 @ 9:23am 
Unfortunately this is a glitch that I cannot prevent from happening, just try not to spam the lock wheels! Hopefully this bug gets fixed soon by the devs of ES
ewrt13 Dec 7, 2022 @ 8:22am 
hey man love the rooms 1 thing we had 2 play it again becouse we could pick the weels out of the locks so we were missing 1 it went to youre hand as a object instead of being able to change the number
