Got Questions?

Here’s the questions people are asking about Department of Magic

Unfortunately not. The venue is underground in Edinburgh’s old town so it’s not accessible for people with wheelchairs or impaired mobility.

Young witches and wizards are welcome, 6 is the minimum age.

The escape room can be booked for between 2 and 6 people.

It’s 50 minutes in total, then the Dark Lord arrives. Eek.

Yep, tickets can be refunded and amended up to 48 hours prior to the booking date/time.

During the week, before 6pm tends to be the quietest time. Before the witches come out to play.

It’s slap-bang in the middle of Edinburgh, a few minutes’ walk from the castle. Travel in Edinburgh city centre is easily accessible with close proximity to several bus connections. Edinburgh Waverly train station is a 5 minute walk away too.
