The Forest of Fables

Maybe my second favorite game I’ve ever played? I might be a little biased because I LOVE fairytale rooms. But the story from start to finish is absolutely amazing and cohesive. We loved our actor and it really just was jam packed with really creative puzzles. I absolutely loved the ending. Very teamwork heavy and requires a healthy amount of listening to the story. A lot of escape rooms in general do tend to be: go go go. But you need to actually pay attention to the narrative and I love when games do that.

Story was unexpected and great, build quality was really nice. On par with Palace Games!

HOLY CANOLI WHATTA ROOM

Our game-master was passionate about his role & made the experience better :) Lovely This was my favorite of their 7 games we played

Best room from CU adventures. Incredible experience start to finish. Wonderful set and room design. Puzzles are not new, they are simply extremely well designed for the themes. Professional use of lights.

Beautiful game, in storytelling, puzzling, and production design. Just truly a joy to play.

I really enjoyed the first half of this room which has a beautifully built set with engaging and intuitive puzzles and a fantastic production design. The story and background music also really help set the scene. The second half is great as well, but I felt it became slightly more sequential which was fine for our group of 2 but might have larger groups waiting around a bit. The roleplaying and interactive elements are very clever and genuinely surprising. I also thought it was cool how it integrated a lot of classic fairy tales into the room. Overall it's a very good room, but I'm not fully sure I would say it is the second best escape room in the US necessarily. However, I would say it is one of the best ones I've done, and I really enjoyed it and loved how enthusiastic the staff was.

This is my favorite room at CU so far (all of the rooms are solid hitters)! I loved the storyline and set. The puzzles weren’t too challenging but the acting and theme were awesome.

This is a must-do in the area for its acting component, and the ending full of twists is a delight you won't forget. There's a full helping of magical delight here (especially at the beginning and the end); however, this is the easiest game of the lot by far, and I think the game suffered from being the last we played of the day. (So, play it first!) After so many great puzzles throughout the building, it was a surprise to see the puzzles revert to a much lower level of ... puzzling. (Without spoilers, several of these were "see x, place x" fare and no puzzle really stood out.) A friend told me after we finished, "I like single-layer puzzles, but not half-layer puzzles." It was a nice take on some fairy tale tropes, and the set is impressive, but here I might have been spoiled by other fairy tale games, which aren't my go-to theme to begin with. So, it didn't feel as special to me as I know it is to many people. Nonetheless, if you're more into sets and story than puzzles, and the fairy tale theme appeals to you, you can't go wrong here.

This is one of the most incredible experiences ive had. As a kid who grew up with Magic Tree House i was absolutely elated with this game! The puzzles were fun and intuitive, our game master was fantastic! Absolutely a must do
