A Magical Beginning
A Magical Beginning
At Enigma Rooms, we’ve always been huge fans of Harry Potter and other fantastical wizarding worlds. We’ve read the books, watched the films, and played the games — but most of all, we love the art of storytelling. Every escape room we create is about stepping out of reality and into a brand-new adventure.
It was this passion that inspired us to imagine our very own magical world, centred around Amgine and Mary Thorncloak. Retiring from their former lives in 1637, the Thorncloaks set out to build a sanctuary for witches, wizards, and magical beings of all kinds.
While Amgine devoted his days to crafting and brewing potions, Mary enchanted guests with her famous Afternoon Teas. Her delicate sandwiches, sweet treats, and homemade jams became the talk of Yorkshire, drawing magical families from miles around. Yet Mary was more than a talented cook — she was also a gifted seer. With nothing more than a teacup, she could glimpse the past, present, and future of those who visited her table.
Nearly 400 years later, we continue the Thorncloaks’ legacy at The Twisted Broom, where we invite you to experience the wonder of our Afternoon Wizard Tea for yourself.
