The Wizard’s Chest

What an awesome toy store for all ages! The store is huge, first floor plus basement. You can practically find ANY toy, costume, game to your heart’s desire. Total Nerd Central.
Employees aren’t that helpful, but I didn’t expect much. Parking can be tricky. You can definitely waste an hour browsing around.

My friend and I have driven by this place and done the double-​take a few times but finally decided to go in today. She was looking for some stuff for an ensemble for a festival. The Wizard’s Chest was perfect! There were so many different options for accessories. The staff were super friendly and very knowledgeable as well. I also appreciated the games in the basement, as I’m always looking for a new source of games. My friend had to pry me out of there before I started impulse buying, but I definitely know where to go the next time I need some cool costume stuff and games.

This is the first time I’ve made it to the new location (yeah, it’s been a while but I don’t live in Denver.) I really liked it. I went in with a couple of friends found hundreds of things to look out and walked out with a couple of things that we really liked. Everyone was helpful, the stores a really great place to shop.

I’m just going to say it as it is: this place is for nerds. In fact, it’s nerd extraordinaire. Around every corner, what do you find? A nerd. Upstairs, downstairs, nerd nerd nerd. I must be a nerd myself, because I enjoyed looking at all the cool, nerdy stuff on sale here. There’s costumes, wigs, lots of board games, figurines and other nerdy stuff that I had never seen before. If I was a kid, I’d probably really enjoy coming here after school. My hangout after school was Borders Books and Barnes and Noble, just so you have an idea of what type of nerd you’ve got reviewing this shop. If you’re a nerd, you’ll love it. If you don’t consider yourself to be a nerd, then you’re probably a geek or a dork. You’d probably enjoy Party City, Chuck-​E-​Cheese or the arcade. If you don’t feel you fall into any of these categories, then you’re probably a dweeb, a doofus or a spaz. None of the aforementioned are anything to be proud of and just so you know, Bronies are a creepy fetish and not a hobby!!!

Absolutely love this store! With all the hardships killing off the local gaming stores, it is good to see The Wizard’s Chest going strong. Love the new location as well, beautiful inside and out!

Wow this place is huge with so much costume jewelry, masks, hats, dresses, toys, novelties, dolls, hello kitty, Pusheen, nyan cat, you name it! This is the most primary kawaii shop to happen than most Halloween shops. You can kiss buying your cosplay costumes and Halloween dresses online. I saw so many brands and selections of medieval art dresses of the Renaissance and it was spectacular. The major downfall was the street parking. There’s nothing more annoying than street parking. In fact, right in front of it is meter parking. It sucks to suck but you cannot park in the parking lot next to the actual shop– Please! You’ll get towed away in a heart beat. The amount of cuteness is too overwhelmingly crazy. The staff is pretty friendly but always awkward as no one greeted me at the entrance but they had no problem greeting everyone else! That’s a big thing for me. Counter girl has no problem staring. Weird. Anyways $ 40 on amazingly cute hello kitty pens, my melody purses, and oh so adorable Japanese style products. I shall be bringing my sister in next Friday.

Meh. Nice selection of games downstairs, but the costumes were mostly Halloween quality. But worst was my husband patiently waiting to ask a question at the magic counter, and not even being acknowledged with a nod after 20 minutes. So you’re showing a kid some tricks, you don’t even pause between tricks to see if someone standing there wants help? Awful customer service. We expected to spend $ 100 or so. We spent $ 4.00 and got out of there. Very disappointing.

This place has really cool stuff! When I walked in, I was amazed at all the things they had. They had craft kits, marbles, puppets, and so much more! I didn’t purchase anything, but I probably will in the future.

We love wandering around this fabulous store. Whenever I need a gift for anyone — from infants to adults — this is our first stop. You can always find something unique and fun.
The new space on Broadway is great. It lacks some of the character of the original location but it’s still a huge improvement from the cramped store and lack of parking in Cherry Creek North. The employees even seem to be happier working at the new location. I actually spend more time here than I did at the old location. I’m pretty sure I’m spending more now, too!

Come meet the wizard! This place is just awesome, be it for the wonderful game nights they host, or for the permission the wizard gives you to let go of the every day drag (yes even adults). When in the Wizards castle everyone has the right to be a kid [again]. Keep up the magic!

I really enjoy shopping here. The selection is incredible. I’ve also found the staff to be very kind and helpful. The store is packed with interesting and unique items.

First off, there is no parking! I called to assure that they were opened, because their website is terrible and not clear, it needs to be re– done and updated. I found this place to be a junky, overpriced, crowded and horribly laid out mosh mash of stuff! Not a true fantasy place at all! Very rude older man downstairs with terrible customer service, I asked him did he have mermaid items, he said nah maybe something upstairs by the cash registers. (He made me feel like I was bothering him by asking a question!). I only rated them a 1 star because I had to otherwise they would have got a zero. This is not a true fantasy shop!

Have been here twice and agree with other reviews that the store is vibrant and very full of life! No matter what your age you seem to find something to look at and enjoy. The staff is friendly and attentive. My only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is because when we came here close to Halloween the store was packed and we couldn’t figured out who was working and who was not and just wanted to talk about toys with you. The staff appeared to be wearing no form of identification to know they worked there, besides maybe parts of a costume, but everyone was wearing costumes… this just made us confused on who to talk with. I would recommend name tags or t-​shirts so they are identifiable and not blending in with the store patrons.

These guys were great. The owner messaged me back immediately via Unilocal when I inquired about a product. When I went to the actual store, the Magic guy, Steve, was outstanding! He took time to show me ways I could use certain tricks for motivational speaking. He also took a lot of time to explain to me safety concerns if I use flash paper. He is great! And the store in general is a blast. I could spend a whole day in there.

Most costume shops are slurried mix of junk and randomness. Not this one. It’s got a wide variety of separate pieces and full costumes in, yes, a variety of sizes. It’s actually enjoyable browsing the selection because there is a higher than average probability that something interesting will be discovered. And if you come up with something on the fly, but don’t know where a certain piece lies, for instance, a wand — then the staff can quickly guide you to spot in the store where you can find that missing puzzle piece. Plus there’s all kinds of interesting toys and puzzles to distract your attention during the hunt. This is a great place.

This store is a tone of fun ! It’s like the magic book and movie we all wish to live in happening right in front of us !!! Full of many fun things for all ages, the store is a two story castle of amazing fantasy.
Downstairs you can find endless toys, nick nacks, games, action figures, tricks and even a magic trick section/​counter !!! Always an amazing magician demonstrating all sorts of cool things !! Up stairs is wigs, masks, costumes and the best Halloween or costume make up you could want !!! Amazing items and reasonable prices for most. There is nothing boring in this store !! The staff is friendly and magical themselves !!!
Halloween was a great treat as the owners mom baked tones of amazing Halloween cookies, cupcakes, and chocolates.

Big selection! And you can actually try on (3 at a time) any costume they have. They even can demo the make up to help you see what kind is going to work best. I like how they all wear costumes as their uniform too. The prices were competitive. They have a section downstairs dedicated to board games, brain teasers and puzzles too.

I was thinking about the review and all the positives I could say about the Wizard’s Chest and the review was taking on a mundane list of the blah blah blahs. Instead of boring you with the list I will simply say… bacon socks. Yes I purchased bacon socks here and they are f&$@ing amazing. So if you’re in the market for a hello kitty ring, bacon socks, stuffed Ebola virus doll, or pack of magic the gathering cards look no further than the Wizard’s Chest! Oh, before I forget, they have Willy Wonka sunglasses in the costume section… really, must I say more?!

For decades now this has been THE place to go in Denver for table top games, geekery, costumes, and all-​around «reality sucks lets get away from it for a while» accoutrements. It’s also the only place I know of that stocks a good supply of chess boards, pieces, and clocks, with a few excellent books as well!

After reading some recent negative reviews about the place, I was nervous about bringing my very active & loud little girls. We made a special trip from Broomfield so they could see the place– I’ve been before, years ago. I was really blown away by the attitudes of the staff members we encountered. We actually spoke at length with 3 of them– a young lady, younger guy, and the owner (?manager?). They could not have been nicer, more helpful, or more accommodating! My kids are LOUD– did I mention that?- and they touch/​grab/​pick up EVERYTHING. And these folks were super nice and chatty. I am so grateful for businesses that still value customer service. Wizard’s Chest is 5-​star in that department and is an incredible place to spend a few hours!

Went looking for board games and they had the one new wanted Risk Legacy but it was $ 20 more than the competition.
Great variety my kids loved it. We will probably visit again, but no regularly. Great selection of costumes and neat toys.

This place has got everything! Except what we were looking for, and the sales associates were not very nice about not finding it for us.

Whenever you need to feel like a kid again come to the Wizard’s Chest! You know you’re in the right place when you see the castle store front on Fillmore St. In Cherry Creek North.
The store is the same as I remember it when I was a kid. Downstairs you’ll find about any game imaginable, including Cards Against Humanity (at the checkout counter). Upstairs is full of costumes and accessories year round! Especially useful if you have a theme party to attend outside the Halloween party season!
A little on the pricey side, but an incredibly fun shopping experience!

To say this place is full of wonder and delight. Once you walk in, there’s turning back. The rows and rows of board games and gag gifts to the layers and layers of unique costumes upstairs make even Scrooge want to stick around a bit and explore.
To house something so densely rich with excitement the actual store has to match its alluring power. A façade in the style of a Medieval castle certainly does the trick. Sure, the prices can be steep, but I am pretty sure there is nothing you wouldn’t fine in here. I am no expert on all things gaming, wizards, and fantasy war craft — but I am an enthusiasts of fun and magical unicorns, and the Wizard’s Chest suits me just fine!

For my Massachusetts friends, this place is half Newbury Comics, a quarter Halloween costume store, and a quarter uncategorizable.
The first floor has board games (Battleship, Life, Stratego, etc; but also newer games), tarot sets, Star Wars and Magic displays, adult toys, stuffed animals, and odds and ends. You can find stuff for toddlers up to the oldest seniors.
The second floor has vintage costumes, superhero costumes, and prepackaged costumes. There are also wigs, jewelry, and plastic boas, swords and guns.
Come in here to browse. You’ll have a better time than if you have something specific to get because you might be tempted to buy more.

What an awesome shop. Steve is awesome and he can show you some awesome magic. The staff is friendly and helpful. I was approached a couple times and asked if I needed help. Everyone is cheerful and it was awesome buying cards against humanity and classic risk.

Oops, I spent way too much money here!
I guess I was expecting a cheesy kid’s costume shop and oh crap, I was wrong. They have plenty cheesy, don’t get me wrong, but the good kinda cheesy you wanna spend your life savings on. Went in for a hat and some suspenders and came out with about 5 bags worth of goofy stuff I will probably use once and throw away. Totally worth it.
I didn’t even get into looking at the wigs. So many wigs! I glanced and they seemed decent quality costume wigs, will find out next time. Lots of fun gift things, bought a bunch of fancy beer socks and top hats for a promo I’m doing next month. Light up cigarettes, cigars, AND pipes! Never saw pipes before. Really awesome multi sided dice. Games. Cards against humanity expansion packs. Key chains. Mustache paper clips and glasses shaped paper clips and… OMG was that a unicorn?
Fun place. Bring your credit card. The inner child won’t be able to resist! :D
Staff was friendly and helpful too. Store was clean. So much fun stuff!

I am sooo glad that stores like this still exist! The Wizard’s Chest is THE place for all things games and fun. The fact that they have costumes year round is a huge plus! Halloween is not the only time of year when dressing up happens, if you’re hanging out with the right people.
Judging from how other stores like this are slowly spiraling out of business, I’m surprised to see how well this place is doing. Online shopping is hitting retailers hard (see Attactix in Aurora, closed and recently reopened as Shep’s Games), but the Wizard’s Chest isn’t showing it! From the exterior castle façade to the magically decorated interior, the Wizard’s Chest exudes fun and whimsy. Seriously. You’re a kid again as soon as you walk through the door.
I’m convinced that you can buy any game or gag here. They have a huge selection and wildly knowledgeable staff to help you through it. To shop here is a delightful experience.
