This used to be one of the best places in Richmond, but has stopped being maintained well. Rooms are fun, but all of the minor damage has built up over time

Great room without manual locks! It’s challenging at any level. And, it’s fun!

The idea behind the room was fun but overall did not enjoy this game. We all bumped our heads going back and forth thru the small door. Our IPad wasn't charged and died during the game.

Very on theme. GM was great but that seems to be hit or miss at this location. This room had some clever puzzles all related directly to wonderland.

Cute and very original room - hand-tailored and heartfelt. While I appreciate traditional rooms with *some* locks and keys, this was fun to experience a room void of those customary elements. True to the movie and fun overall!
Gameplay
Very novel - didn't flow exceptionally well.
Atmosphere
Great set design - rooms were creative and fun to experience.

The theming is awesome there are tight squeezes and slides etc. The game play is a little bit on the easier side. The only thing I didn't like is that we had to share with another party.

This! Absolutely fantastic gameplay. Set needs a good paint job but it was interactive and so much fun. I won’t spoil the end, but our game master had us cracking up.
Gameplay
A bit tricky at times, but with a couple hints it made sense
Atmosphere
Great set design! You could tell it was outdated and just needed a touch up but really very creative in a lot of ways
Customer service
I feel like I’m best friends with the staff. That’s how they treat their customers, like family

Yes
No spoilers, but an interactive ending is always appreciated

It was just pretty large and we had to keep running back and forth. It’s doable with two if you don’t mind being physically exhausted

Awesome escape room! Some really challenging puzzles, and a unique idea with being able to alter the difficulty of the room ahead of time. The set was beautiful.

For us, many of whom have done dozens of rooms, this one was just ok. We love River City Escape and have now played all their rooms. The GMs are always lively and fun, the rooms are well designed and for the most part, the puzzles are great. We especially loved Innocent which had the type of puzzles that we like best. Alice was our least favorite but can still recommend both the room and the place. Best Alice in Wonderland room we’ve ever done is in Columbia, SC at The Final Door. We did that one over Thanksgiving and it was excellent - it may be that my review is lukewarm for River City’s Alice since it came on the heels of a great room. If in Richmond, check out River City - good place!
Gameplay
Mostly good. Some of the puzzles didn’t solve with that “aha” feeling but with an “oh, ok then” feeling. The clues and riddles didn’t always lead directly to the result but it was ok. Not linear, which is good, fun. GM was good and gave helpful clues without just solving them for us.
