Merlin’s beard! A virtual Harry Potter-themed  escape room now exists 

Keeley Ryan

And yes, it is totally free. 

A virtual Harry Potter-themed escape room now exists and yeah, we are so there. 

Launched by the Peters Township Public Library in Pennsylvania, it all begins with you starting your first year at Hogwarts. 

After you get sorted into your dream house and enjoying the welcome back banquet, you go back to your common room – and that’s when things take a turn. 

“As you head into the cozy room, the house prefect announces that you have a fun team building activity to complete before you get too settled into your new digs. The house prefect tells you about a new muggle trend where they lock themselves in rooms and have to answer puzzles to get out – no magic at all,” the description continues. 

“Next thing you know, the room is completely dark and you hear a door slam.”

We’re not going to spoil the rest of the escape room – because honestly, where would be the fun in that? – but the adventure takes you through the wonderful world of witchcraft and wizardry. 

And while the questions are filled with plenty of Harry Potter references, the escape room itself is also suitable for muggles or those who may need to brush up on their spell-casting. 

Ypou can check out the escape room right here – good luck!
