The Wizard's Escape Room
The notorious 4 marauders created a very detailed secret map of the castle. While exploring the castle, they found 7 secret passageways out of the castle. At night, they used their animus spell to sneak out of the castle and explore. Now the castle is under attack. You must use your Wizard skills to uncover the 7 passageways. The dilemma you face is that YOU KNOW WHO has destroyed 6 of the passageways, and he is not aware that there is a 7th way out. You have 60 minutes to escape the correct secret passageway.
Gryf Escape Room
While you are at the castle, your triumphs will earn your House points, while any rule-breaking will lose House points. At the end of the hour, the House with the most points is awarded the House cup, a great honor indeed. Points are awarded to the House where the student in question belonged to when he or she did good deeds, correctly answered a question in class, won an inter-house Quidditch match or solved puzzles. Take your house stones and put them in the hour glass before your time is up. The first one to escape wins the House Cup!

This house is designed to provide hours of fun for everyone -- in addition to the Harry Potter theme and escape rooms the pool table was a lot of fun. It is well furnished and very comfortable for a large group.

Once you step into the house you feel transported to another time and place. Tons of things to see and places to explore. My whole family enjoyed the scavenger hunt and the two escape rooms. We all had a great weekend!

This house truly is magical - the attention to wizarding details is unlatched - with plenty to keep busy just enjoying the house. Would definitely recommend to both wizards & muggles alike!

This property was truly a unique experience with something for every age group. There was so much room for everyone and we were all able to hang out together or separate to our own space all with our own bathroom. We had all age groups from 10-48 and everyone enjoyed so much about their stay. We all loved the escape room and had so many good laughs while completing that. Just roaming the house and looking at all the details was fun.
The teens loved the Alexa and not only that it played Harry Potter music throughout the house but also that they could play their music and dance through the halls.
The scavenger hunt was so much fun and we found everything except one item and I will have to return next year just to find that final item as it will haunt me hahaha
The host was great. He communicated things as the trip went so it was all a surprise and not all just dumped on you at once and overwhelmed you. The place was spotless and all furnishing are high end. The beds were so comfortable that everyone commented on it as usually when you travel the beds are the most dreaded part but not here. Even the blankets were soft and perfect. Each room was styled to the house perfectly as well.
We will definitely return with more friends when the additions will be complete for an extension of our experience. The area was also Very nice with many restaurants to choose from. We also visited Harper’s Ferry while we were in the area which was a nice day trip.
