All right, scouts! Are you ready for your big adventure in the woods? Don’t mind the rumours about the forest being haunted by spirits, we’re pretty sure it’s all nonsense and poor old Sam will find their way back one day soon. After all, time can pass very quickly in there; morning to noon to evening to night and before you realise, it’s morning again! Stay safe in the woods, scouts – it’s everyone’s responsibility!

Highly recommended. We'd never done an escape room that was so character driven and it was a helluva experience. Jamie as the sarcastic forest spirit had us cry laughing.

Gameplay

Excellent gameplay - was open ended enough to make it fun but linear enough to keep it flowing

Atmosphere

Extremely immersive, both through GM narration, lights and theme.

Customer service

Our GM Jamie was hilarious and basically riffed stand-up comedy the whole time.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

I don't know how frequent it is, but personalised GM story narration is something else. Extremely immersive and funny. It also has a mechanism to change time of day which we have not encountered before and was extremely interesting.

Really fun take on a different way to do escape rooms that me and my group really enjoyed. This room is narrative driven, you will be learning the story that took place and that does mean pausing and waiting to hear the story at times between puzzles. The interactions with the GM really help make it a truly unique experience.

A very solid rooms with a large variety of differing puzzles. That can be tackled in any order. The puzzles flowed very well but for a room that was rated max difficulty, the puzzles did feel a bit too easy. We finished with around 25 minutes to spare. Not a single puzzle was reused and everything was labelled properly which I quite liked. The set is really pretty as well immersing us in that seemed like a deep forestscape. As with most other Next Level Rooms, the gamemaster drastically elevated the experience with their dynamic responses. One of our players didn't even realise the narrative audio was not rerecorded but done in realtime by the gamemaster. Overall another must done room at Next Level!

I enjoyed the puzzles in this room, but found the story telling component to be way too much. Standing there for what felt liked 5 minutes just listening to a story really ruined it for me.

We loved this room. It was immersive and really creative. The design of the room was fantastic, I don’t think I’ve done an escape room like it before. Our game master (Scoutmaster Emily) was fantastic, funny, and really added to the experience.

A great room with a huge focus on the story. Less GM interaction/narration with this one compared to some other rooms from Next Level as it focused more on the story of the room itself Loved how we had control of what puzzles to work on and the puzzles were really fun. Mikayla was our GM for this one. Gave us some clues when we were stuck, just enough to give us a nudge in the right direction and letting us figure it out ourselves.
