half of the puzzles dont work. The glasses didnt work right the first time so i restarted and they did. Then the combination lock on the vanishing cabinet just didnt work. Id love to play it all the way through, but with the game fighting me at every turn, I'm done.

I can't complete this puzzle. The deluminator doesn't work and even thought the walkthrough will tell you the code I have nowhere to put it since the code input is locked until the streetlights are off. The deluminator isn't marked as a key so it's basically a prop. I know the answer to the candle puzzle but when I put it in nothing happens. I haven't found a single potion instruction ticket and bringing all the potion ingredients to the cauldron does nothing, one of the ingredients is marked as a clue so I think even if I could make potions if that ingredient is required I won't be able to make the potion. I only have half of the elevator guide thing and have no clue where to find the other pieces. I presume what I haven't found is locked behind broken puzzles. I'm going to try uninstalling/reinstalling it to that'll fix it. I'm sorry if I'm a bit harsh I just desperately want to enjoy this room but I've been stuck on it for days.

De-luminator didn't work on the lampposts :/ Great room otherwise, hope to finish it eventually

Staff through painting bugged. It only partially went through the painting and on the gate side, it was frozen in the air with the key. It couldn't be grabbed. I'll start over and see if it still does this.

As a HP fan, I wanted so badly to like this room. However, I had to restart twice; by the end, after having been in-game for four hours cumulatively, I just wanted to finish and forget the whole thing.

The first time, I could not interact with the staff after placing it in its spot and changing rooms. The second time, I had taken down all the wanted posters (even heard the little sound that acknowledged task completion), but it wasn't crossed out on the chalkboard. Having read other comments, this escape room needs a fair amount of work to correct the bugs. However, it's free DLC, so I know I shouldn't be too demanding about it.

In every other regard, it was a brilliant escape room; compartmentalized puzzles, but with main quest items elegantly interwoven into each one. The voice acting was well-done, great immersion, and lore acceptably accurate to the average viewer. I would rate it as better than WWW and PCST, but not quite as good as Potions Class. Thanks, MelonVerse!

Oh and like Cruff in July, we were also very confused about the letter that showed up by the broom. We couldn't do anything with it. What does it do? We would appreciate a tip. :D
Feyedorah Dec 20, 2024 @ 6:25am 
Thanks for the great room! ✨
My friend and I had a great time solving it. Although unfortunately we had to restart it twice :D
Once we accidentally dropped the wand in the main room (in the area in front of the task board) and it disappeared.
The same thing happened with the crossbow in the second room (right in front of the cupboard).
Perhaps there is a lack of floor detection for these items. Alternatively, perhaps a checkpoint system would help? Because at the moment, when you have to restart the game because of this problem, you lose time due to the (actually cool) dialogues at the beginning (alternatively it would be great if you could skip them).
We hope this feedback helps and thank you again! We look forward to solving your next room. 🤩

Can't interact/remove the wand after pushing it through the painting.
HeyyitsB Sep 29, 2024 @ 6:00pm 
Me and my friends got until the very end however, we got stuck with removing all the wanted posters. There was not a single wanted poster left in the shop and we were unsure if that meant outside too or not. unfortunately we were unable to finish the map due to being to stuck with this one simple thing. If us removing the wanted posters were supposed to by means of a wand it should mention on there that it needs to be removed by the wand because when we removed it, anyone can remove it, wand or no wand.

i was playing in coop, first try, the note for puting the objects from the chest just gone after i put it on a table.
Second try, after the first use, the wand disapear from our inventory so we're stuck with the webs. :/

Something weird happened and when I was trying to place a decree on the wall it ended up in the 2nd floor opposite to the stairs and is unreachable, we can't pick it up so we got stuck. Is there a way to reset all items?
MelonVerse  [author] Aug 8, 2024 @ 6:46pm 
Sorry to hear that kristina, I will make sure to fix that. Thanks for reporting it!
kristina Aug 8, 2024 @ 3:09pm 
I found a bug: we placed a pumpkin in the top row on the left in the room of requirement (which i realize that's not where it's supposed to be but, yknow, gotta try things right? and then it became not clickable/movable so it's stuck there and we can't finish the puzzle :(
Brian Kuhn Aug 2, 2024 @ 6:08pm 
I've found all of the tokens except one (it's the one on the left end of the bottom row on your "Tokens Found" chart). Any chance you can tell me where it is?
Nova Jul 22, 2024 @ 11:12pm 
The room is great so far, but I am stuck on (probably the easiest task) taking down the wanted posters, and I'm not sure if one is really well hidden, or if I've done something to break the game progress!! Any help with the locations or anything would be helpful, as its my last task of the chalkboard reqs!
lostatsea Jul 22, 2024 @ 4:49am 
love it, my ant brain was fried afterwards
MelonVerse  [author] Jul 16, 2024 @ 4:30pm 
Hey Cruff! Thanks for your kind remarks... you are 100% correct I did forget to change from military time -> non-military time. I will change that! I'll also think about adding postage informing players to use the trash. Thanks!
Cruff Jul 16, 2024 @ 1:08pm 
Also, maybe it would be worth noting to the player to use make use of the trashcan to prevent losing items. Because of the nature of this map, when an item is simply dropped onto a table or shelf, it will fall and potentially get lost when the map shifts to and from locations. This happened to me with the page about how to use the clock to turn back time. It got stuck under the floorboards was no longer pickable. I had to use the video of the old map version to figure that out without resetting the map.

I might take another look at this map in the future and see if I can find any tokens, idk.
Cruff Jul 16, 2024 @ 1:07pm 
Master puzzle maker you are. Very intricate map. Ignore my last posted comment. The envelope never lead anywhere that I could discover. Token maybe? I never found any of those either.

One flaw: 22:00 is actually 10pm, not 11pm. So the hogwarts map is technically wrong and impossible to solve logically. You also have to already know how to convert military time into standard time, or else you can't logically solve it. I want to assume maybe you didn't mean to keep the military time in the remaster, because I saw a video of the first version of the map where you ONLY used military time.
ditzib Jul 16, 2024 @ 1:31am 
@MelonVerse don't know if you fixed the problem, but I was able to complete the room this time round. Great room as always :-)
Cruff Jul 15, 2024 @ 2:53pm 
Not sure what I did wrong... I picked up the envelope from the sweeping broom, and then I couldn't do anything with it. And broom kept sweeping near the decree wall, but nothing else happened. Did I break progression somehow?
MelonVerse  [author] Jul 9, 2024 @ 5:16am 
Very strange, I’ll check and see if I can fix that!
ditzib Jul 8, 2024 @ 11:51pm 
@MelonVerse so the ingredients I used are 1. Backor Elixir and stir 3 times. 2. Grewth's Remedy and stir 4 times. 3. Smotery Cream but the spoon doesn't appear to stirText
MelonVerse  [author] Jul 8, 2024 @ 12:38pm 
Hey ditzib, what are the 3 potion ingredients? Please use spoilers
ditzib Jul 8, 2024 @ 10:06am 
Stuck on Draught of Living Death potion, got the three ingredients, two of them work but the last one does nothing!!!! Aaaargh!!
MelonVerse  [author] Jul 4, 2024 @ 3:45pm 
I've just fixed that bug! Happy escaping everyone.
MelonVerse  [author] Jul 4, 2024 @ 7:10am 
All right, thanks for the report! I’ll make sure to try and troubleshoot.

First time when the dumbwaiter broke, it was just a bug. We weren't touching anything at the same time, it just wouldn't return it to let us order a new number, it would send up, then block the number from being changed. We did get the poster upstairs, it just wouldn't register them all.
MelonVerse  [author] Jul 3, 2024 @ 2:10pm 
Did you press the valve that said "SEND LIFT BACK UP"?
Gabe the dog Jul 3, 2024 @ 1:36pm 
was playing solo. i turned the lever below and somehow the HDC numbers were not intractable anymore
MelonVerse  [author] Jul 3, 2024 @ 1:19pm 
Unfortunately that seems like client side issue. Most likely from both you and a partner pressing the same button/item at the same time, subsequently breaking the puzzles. With the posters, did you get the poster that was upstairs? That's a tricky one...
squiidsquaad Jul 3, 2024 @ 12:23pm 
Room broke, we restarted it, it broke again, we gave up. First time the dumbwaiter broke, second time we took down all the posters but it wouldn't register that task as finished.
ditzib Jul 3, 2024 @ 2:13am 
okay i am feeling pretty dumb, can't get out of the house ! can't find floo powder :-(
MelonVerse  [author] Jul 2, 2024 @ 3:03pm 
Hey Gabe the dog, were you playing solo or in multiplayer?
Gabe the dog Jul 2, 2024 @ 2:02pm 
HDC got stuck
Chikara Jul 1, 2024 @ 7:02pm 
@doccow did you remember to send the compartment back up again with the wheel underneath? I missed that at first
DocCow Jul 1, 2024 @ 6:09pm 
HDC got stuck, couldnt input codes from the papers to advance past the bronze key
MelonVerse  [author] Jul 1, 2024 @ 6:00pm 
Thank you so much for all the kind comments, and for playing my room Chikara! :hakimheart::hakimheart:
Chikara Jul 1, 2024 @ 5:55pm 
Now it worked like a charm! I didn't encounter any bugs. What an amazing adventure you have created here! So many different puzzles to solve. I love that you reuse things and have to return to where you have been so you have to pay attention to what you see. These are my favorite types of escape rooms and you have clearly put a lot of effort into this! Great job!
MelonVerse  [author] Jul 1, 2024 @ 5:13pm 
Just put out a new bug fix, should be pickable now! Thanks to all the people who reported it :steamhappy:
Chikara Jul 1, 2024 @ 12:47pm 
Yeah, I cannot grab the bronze key either :/ So close!
MelonVerse  [author] Jul 1, 2024 @ 12:42pm 
Thanks for these bug reports, I’ll fix them asap!
Chikara Jul 1, 2024 @ 11:54am 
yeah.. I also got stuck when the lid for the rain box opened on me. I would also suggest making the candle a key item since it is used! I'll restart and try again.
Leben Jul 1, 2024 @ 6:33am 
I can't reach the bronze key, the crate is open but the lid of it seems to be preventing me from getting close enough to pick it up
stephness36 Jun 30, 2024 @ 7:26pm 
I was using the crossbow and accidentally double clicked. The crossbow went flying behind the shelf into the unknown so I'm unable to keep going. Maybe make the crossbow respawnable?
MelonVerse  [author] Jun 30, 2024 @ 2:14pm 
Alright, I think I know which 2 you are missing. There are in fact two pumpkins that are not in the Room of Requirement. They are obtainable after you insert the pumpkin juice brewing ticket into the chalkboard. You can access the tickets by going to the HDC number of Public Finance once you unlock the fog crate Happy Escaping!
