The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
13th Hour Escape Room - Wharton
Escape room
IRL
Wow. WOW!! This room was so much fun. The set designs were beyond impressive. The animatronics added a really nice touch. I cannot imagine the amount of time and dedication to put together something this high quality. I don’t want to spoil anything, but you really feel like you’re in the movie! Did I say “wow” yet? In addition, the puzzles flow so nicely. I was very impressed. The ending was also quite satisfying 🥰 amazing! So many memorable moments throughout the whole game, and it was overall so much fun to play. It was truly an experience, not your ordinary escape room.

Pretty neat concept and nice execution. Very different than traditional escape rooms. I felt like I was in a quest type of videogame 😝

This was the first escape room I did at Masterpiece Escapes and WOW! First off let me just start off with the staff they all seem to really love working there and giving you a great experience. They tell a background story before the game that really gets you immersed into it and they are with you every step of the way at all times throughout the game. When we were going to ask for a hint they were already starting to nudge us. I mean, amazing. They also come in at the end and see if you understood/figured out the whole story and if not explain it to you. The escape room itself flowed very nicely. There were some elements that I’d personally never seen before that were really cool. There were sound effects, maybe two jump scares along with that. Multiple rooms. Lots to do and have fun with. Such nicely decorated rooms. Overall, a great experience!

Suuuuch a good room! So well put together, clever, immersive, flows nicely, lots to see and have fun with. The unique & memorable storyline unfolds in such a cool way, and every puzzle truly fits the theme (great mix of puzzle types too). We saw things we’ve never seen in an escape room; it was awesome. Also the GM’s are great & very attentive. All in all this escape room is definitely in my top 5! Loved it. If you can only do one escape room with them, I recommend this one. *Note: little bit of gore… if that’s not your thing, maybe don’t play this room.*

The set design, ambiance, tech, flow, GM’s attentiveness, everything was great. This also was such a fun story and immersive experience. You can really appreciate the amount of thought and time that must have went into this room. We had a great time. And I really like that they take your picture in the room; it makes for a great memory when you look back on it. Highly recommend this place. We definitely will be doing their other rooms.

This room is so much fun, definitely unique, and everything fits in so well with the theme. There is sooooo much to do, two stories, lots of: doors to open, riddles to solve, codes to decipher and put in, locks, and there are puzzles you’ve definitely never seen before. It can be quite intimidating at first, and maybe even throughout. I mean, one of the workers let us know that it is their hardest room and it has 46! puzzles. So go with a group of 4-6 experienced players and don’t all focus on the same thing. Things can be done at once. We were a group of 4, just two of us experienced, and we made it out with only seconds to spare. It was very non-linear but everything just made sense after you thought about it… the props and overall setting were awesome. My one complaint is the same one I had for my other reviews here; there is a lot of noise from others in the rooms next to yours. So, it can be distracting. In addition, you likely will hear their hint sound go off and run to your hint board thinking it’s yours only to find nothing 😅

I think we let the hype get to our heads and then ended up slightly disappointed. Overall the set design was great, the GM was helpful (only gives hints if you ask), but the game flow wasn’t the best, especially for a group of two. It just felt like we were getting lots of ambiguous pieces of information & parts of the game at once so we found ourselves not knowing what to do next a couple of times. It’s not the most linear game and I think it would be a lot better for a bigger group. The room overall is pretty good … it just wasn’t for us.

The escape room itself flowed very nicely and definitely had a creepy factor. Great decor, sound effects, and one really cool jump scare. It was very immersive and just overall such a great experience. I can’t decide between this room and Wrecked which is my favorite, maybe this one as I loved the creepy part. There are multiple rooms, different types of things to do/puzzles and whatnot some never seen before. Lots to do and have fun with. Such nicely decorated rooms. One other factor that is nice and I haven’t seen before is that if you’re slightly over the hour and close to getting out they let you finish and get out. You never feel rushed. At the same time if you like to know your time remaining it might be difficult for you because it’s not posted anywhere. I think their aim is for it to be more about the experience. The staff is GREAT! They tell a background story before the game that really gets you immersed into it and they are with you every step of the way at all times throughout the game. When we were going to ask for a hint they were already starting to nudge us. I mean, amazing. At the end they see if you figured out the whole story and if not explain it to you. **if you don’t want nudges when you’re stuck, let them know before going in!**

Cute theme! Interactive, fun, nice tech, awesome flow, intuitive. We escaped with over 10 mins to spare as just a group of 2 & no hints ☺️ so, very doable for newer players! Would also be great for families.

Set design, space size, and animatronics were all greeeeat! I mean truly well put together. The different rooms/settings were cool as well, really unique and fun. I also thought it was cool to have no traditional number or letter locks, making every puzzle more unique. I do, however, think some things could’ve flowed better. Also there were some hiccups like at one point a key was supposed to come out of some spot but it got stuck and two workers had to try to get it to work for 5 mins or so. At another part something had to be typed in and I put the same code about 50 million times (ok, maybe 4 times) and it wasn’t working… the worst part was that you couldn’t see it on the screen as you were typing it 😅 Also, the thing about it being a warehouse space is that the voices of people in the escape room next to us echoed into our escape room, but the real problem was so did their hint button noise (and quite clearly). So multiple times we didn’t know if we were getting a hint or them and we’d run into the room where the hints were displayed only to see nothing haha. Could be solved by having hint screens in multiple rooms not just in the first one. If these things were fixed my review would go from “like” to “love.” Still a good experience and worth checking their escape rooms out … especially the Wizard of Oz one!
