Legend of the Month

Our special monthly resident reward, for local legends just like you.

Legend of the Month: September 2025

Enjoy 25% off entry to the Department of Magic’s Escape Rooms throughout September.

Are you ready to embark on a spellbinding adventure?

Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, the Department of Magic embodies the city’s magical past with immersive experiences for the whole family, and their Escape Rooms are a magical adventure like no other. Throughout September, residents with an EH postcode can enjoy 25% off entry to the Department of Magic’s Escape Rooms, for up to 6 people.

Prepare to be captivated as you race against the clock in a 50 minute interactive journey. You and your team will work together to solve puzzles and riddles while deciding the fate of the magical realm, which now rests in your hands.

There are two unique narrative driven experiences to choose from. Will you embrace the light and save the wizarding world in the Prophecies Quest? Or will you succumb to the dark side in the Dark Lord Resurrection adventure? The power to shape the narrative is yours, making each visit a unique and thrilling experience.

Redefining the escape room genre by eliminating locks, codes and keys, this enchanting experience is more than a game; it’s a journey into a fantastical realm. Engage with a captivating host, decipher cryptic clues, and unlock the mysteries of a world where the magical and the mysterious collide.

The Department of Magic Escape Rooms welcome both novices and seasoned adventurers alike. No prior training is required – just bring your curiosity, courage and a sense of wonder. Their experienced guides will ensure you’re well-equipped for the extraordinary journey that awaits. The experience is suitable for ages 10 and upwards.
