Noughts and Coffees Board Game Café and Escape Team Building Edinburgh: The Magical Emporium Review: November 2018
Morrison Street, an exciting site location featuring a contemporary noughts and coffees board game café and the location of Escape Team building Edinburgh.
Time for some spellbinding spectaculars, as we grabbed our gown and wand to swish, flick and cast our way into The Magical Emporium, an exciting escape room game by Escape Team Building Edinburgh.
Wizards worldwide had been notified that, the dazzling and delightful renowned supplies shop, Garbo’s was suspiciously closed down. Suspecting Evil forces, it was up to us to use our magical mystical marvellous powers to investigate Ms Garbo’s disappearance.
An immersive, interactive, and spellbinding experience whereby we had 60 minutes to chant, cast spells and incantations to find Ms Garbo.
No need for the fun to end, as after escape game play, head to the onsite Noughts & Coffees board game café, a chilled out, friendly and informal hub, for some more game play, a light bite to eat with some tea or coffee to wash it all down.
How’s it work, easy get the squad, grab a seat, choose a game, pay £2.50 each, fill up your cup and play all day.
Get your game on, on marvellous magical Morrison street Edinburgh.
Thank you for reading 😊

My daughter has been trying to get me to do an escape room forever but I’ve always been too scared! This room, however, looks way more light-hearted and whimsical than any of the others I’ve seen- if only I lived in Edinburgh! Plus, I absolutely love the idea of a game cafe. What a way to spend a day!
