I really like the idea of Once Upon an Escape. Their puzzles are definitely different from things you’d find elsewhere. They aren’t always cohesive to the story but they can be fun to work through. The only downside is their hint system is not very quick and it doesn’t seem like they even know where you are at with trying things sometimes with their suggestions. This room was fun to do overall and there were def some puzzles that I’ve not seen before or since in other rooms which is great. I don’t often recommend this place though unless you’re really into escape rooms and good at figuring out puzzles on your own.

This is a very simple room in terms of theming or excitement. Compared to the other rooms it seems this would not take home gold, but it’s not bad. The family that runs this clearly has a passion for what they do. Kiera was our GM and she’s fantastic!
The flow was pretty easy to follow
It’s a pretty minimal set design, but it’s nice. Not really seven dwarves focus too much.
Kiera is great!

The puzzles themselves aren’t that hard, but realizing the correct way to complete them was a bit challenging

Minimal activity, some crawling
This is not a very accessible room given you have to be able to crawl in the dark to get to the next room

Minimal theming, nothing really said 7 dwarfs. We solved one puzzle not knowing we were missing part of it, leaving one lock untouched. One puzzle was finicky. Lots of notes telling you what not to touch. Our team of 2 breezed through it. Neverland at this location was much better.

Did this with a rookie and a one timer. We loved it. Had a great time. I’m not sure why the reviews aren’t better. We all really had a great time
It was fun! Made sense
Love this place. Family owned nice rooms with lots of stuff
GM was great! The girl that greeted us seemed a little frazzled but who knows what was happening
Yes. Not really complicated but a lot of….. oh duhs lol

It's been two years since we played, but illogical solutions to the puzzles are the reason for the rating. This may have changed since we played.

I’ve played 17 rooms and I had the most fun in this one. It’s not objectively the “best” room I’ve been in but as an intermediate player I thought the puzzles were challenging “enough” but not too challenging although I definitely needed help from my husband who is more advanced but I liked the variety and tech and as always once upon and escape always has a lot of cool decor. Fun!

Fun game with multiple rooms to keep you moving and keep it interesting. Some unique puzzles. Best of the three games we’ve played here.
Enjoyed the gameplay. I felt like it had a good flow.
Lots of rooms kept it interesting.

I have to give props to a family run business with a fully themed location. The lobby, hallway to the rooms, the rooms themselves, and even the rules video all embrace the fairy tale theme. There were a couple of unique puzzles but there were also a couple that were so vague, that you knew that A had to go on B, or you had to remove C from D using E, but it was still not obvious how to accomplish it. The set wasn’t bad. The negatives for me were that the music/soundtrack was broken and playing a room in silence (and now being able to hear other customers talking in the hallway) really detracts from the immersion. One of the doors to a new area was open (or opened?) before we completed the puzzle that would’ve unlocked it. And there were only two GMs running four rooms, including getting groups in and our, resetting rooms, answering the phone, taking group photos, and trying to keep up with providing clues. They were definitely overwhelmed.

The soundtrack/music was not working, which really detracted from the experience.

Ugh, this room felt just on the borderline of meh and bad. I wouldn’t ever really recommend this game to anyone, especially compared to some of Once Upon an Escape’s other rooms. The room had fairly weak set design, weak puzzle design, bad flow, just, the definition of “bleh”.
Very linear, yet still struggles with flow, very easy to jump ahead. Lots of vague puzzles with little to no guidance.
