Neverland

Ditto what everyone else said here.

The puzzles are okay. The set around the end is fun. The biggest issue for me is the lack of a narration and therefore story. It is not a bad room per se, but I expect the story to be the strongest element when booking a room like this.

The rooms are dark for no purpose (could have the same mood with better lighting), which makes reading difficult and the floors in one room are falling apart to the point of being constant tripping hazards. Again at this location, there was no storyline. I marked this room "hard" but the puzzles are not satisfying to solve - they are hard because you can't see what you're reading or what you're doing.

Lots to do in this room and we had just two of us. Good mix of cerebral and physical activities

A difficult 9/10 escape room that definitely got us thinking, but we were so close to solving everything that even a different game lead became invested in our progress until the end 😂 It had unique puzzles I haven’t seen before so that was a plus! Cool rooms too.

It was fun- the game was pretty average but still good. There were a couple frustrating puzzles but it was still fun and we enjoyed it. There was a part at the end that we apparently did wrong and I accidentally cheated, which shouldn’t have been possible but whatever 😅…still a pretty good game though. 7.5/10

My husband and I were very hopeful this would be a fun game. When I walked into the first room I knew the owners pieced it together themselves . Seemed a little cheap. Maybe ok for your first time. We also did Neverland. I won’t go back for the others.

This was fun. We'll be back

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!

I really like the idea of Once Upon an Escape but their puzzle master and I are just not on the same page. I do a bunch of escape rooms and I always seem to struggle with the rooms here. The puzzles are creative but sometimes in a way where it’s just hard to figure out what to do. Neverland was no exception to this rule. We got stuck several times and had to ask for help. The help system is not super responsive and it seems like they aren’t always sure where you’re at in the game because they would suggest to do things that we already completed. We only ended up making it about halfway through this room and that’s unfortunate because the backside looked like it would be fun to mess with! If you’re looking for a solid challenge, check this one out but don’t be surprised if you end up stuck and have a hard time getting help!
