    Once Upon an Escape

    The room has certainly earned its difficulty rating! We previously ran Once Upon A Time, rated 8/10, and found it to be reasonably challenging but fun, with only one puzzle we were truly stuck on in a way that was within our control. Based on that experience, we felt that we would be okay stepping 1 point up to a 9/10 and requesting our own clues, but I would strongly encourage anyone attempting this room to accept GM nudges unless you are a speedrunner, as there was a pretty significant difficulty jump from Once Upon a Time to Neverland. We are not expert players, but have done somewhere between 20 and 40 rooms, and this is only the second we've failed to escape, and it wasn't even close. There are a number of puzzles that were unfortunately more difficult due to maintenance issues (faded lettering, worn magnets) than design, which ate up a lot of time, and those issues can be compounded by accessibility issues with mobility, vision, and fine dexterity. Unfortunately by the time we got halfway through the room and into a section that had a LOT of fun-looking puzzles, we had less than 10 minutes left and couldn't really explore the rest. On the whole I really want to encourage other people to try this room, but ask early and often for hints in the first half. It's our fault we didn't, but please learn from our mistakes!
