Escape From Oz [prev. The Wicked Witch's Castle]

The set design was impressive, but we care much less about ambiance than the puzzles… and there just weren’t many real puzzles in this room. Instead, there was too much search-and-find for our tastes; a few puzzles were poorly signposted so required hints; and one puzzle basically required outside knowledge of the Oz story to make sense. So overall, this felt kinda meh for us (hence, no 👎 or 👍, and this was definitely not ❤️). Mad Hatter is very similar in concept but at least has a few more real puzzles. So if you only want to do one room here, I recommend Mad Hatter. If you love the Oz theme, then do this one, but it was a smaller/shorter room for the same price. We played as a group of 4 (3 experienced and 1 smart newbie), but that was because the room minimum was 4. As usual, we felt like that was too many as there wasn’t enough to do for all 4 people. We requested no hints/nudges unless requested, and we got out with about 15 mins to spare.

Not my favorite room here but still fun for all and immersive!

Not a bad set design. Felt a little dingy, and could have utilized its space a little better, but still a decent room. Good for beginners.

Had some fun puzzles in it and overall flowed well. Would have been nice to get some pokes for obvious thing like when something opened and we didn’t hear it or when something wasn’t positioned exactly.

Awesome room! This place as a whole has great rooms. The design and the props were second to none for this room.

A nicely-designed environment with some fascinating larger set pieces. The puzzles offered some unique interactions, but a lot was centered around searching and inputting. One puzzle evidently required outside knowledge and a snippet of the intro video (which was triggered too early for us to actually hear it), and it required staggering leaps in logic with no discernible clueing. While the hand-painted road, the spartan forest, and the house all were designed well, several props looked really worn down (especially an out-of-place keypad). This is well-worth doing, but just know that it’s an easier game made difficult only by searching and a lack of signposting.

I was traveling to Phoenix from West Michigan, I’ve done about 15 rooms and this was hands down my favorite. The puzzles were challenging enough to keep me interested but not too challenging to discourage me. The props and room design were incredible- hands down the best I have ever seen.

Super fun set design, great for new players. I'll mention that we did this room with a few kids and they had a ton of fun as well. We like most of the rooms at this location - I'm usually impressed with the size of the rooms and the puzzles they include.

Cool room needs some updates
