Who hasn’t dreamed of living out their own Harry Potter adventure? At Budapest’s Time Trap (Időcsapda), you can dive straight into wizardry with their wildly popular Magic World (Varázsvilág) escape rooms. Get ready to encounter magical creatures and enchanted objects, rescue prisoners from the Wizard Prison, and even test your spell-casting skills—because using a magic wand is absolutely essential to your escape. You might even bump into a real dragon.
Wizards, Dragons, and Mind-Bending Puzzles
The Magic World (Varázsvilág) experience offers three different themed rooms. You can face the Chamber of Secrets or the Wizard Prison, both giving you 75 minutes to succeed, or try the Burrow, where your team has 60 minutes to complete your mission. Every game welcomes families and kids, but anyone under 14 needs an adult with them. Don’t worry about jump scares here—it’s all about teamwork and solving creative puzzles, not fright. Expect objects that move on their own and doors that open with spells, with every magical item possibly hiding a secret power for your team to discover.
Not Just for Harry Fans: Hardcore Challenges Await
Beyond the wizarding worlds, Time Trap (Időcsapda) has four more extreme rooms. Break free from chains in real prison conditions in Prison Trap (Börtöncsapda). Prevent the 20th century’s worst disaster in Chernobyl Trap (Csernobil Csapdája). Take on a 75-minute criminal investigation in CSI Budapest – The Butcher (A Hentes). And for horror buffs, try to escape the murderous Psychopath Killer.
