I can see why this room would get a lot of recognition in the escape room community a few years ago! It is a well done room but admittedly feels a little bit dated in the current escape room scene.
The theming is fun but not 100% immersive. The puzzles are enjoyable but are a bit more prompted than I personally prefer.
This would be a great room for younger escape room enthusiasts or people who are new to escape rooms!
The gameplay in this room is very linear aside from finding a few items earlier than they can actually be used. The puzzle flow was effective but a bit too guided for my personal preference.
That being said, I really liked the final puzzle in this room!
This room was very cute! While it was not 100% immersive, it was well decorated and encapsulated the spirit of multiple different iconic pieces of “The Wizard of Oz”.
Everyone at this location was so kind and it’s very clear that the owner is deeply passionate about his work!
Particularly interesting or different
While I haven’t done other rooms that are specifically “Wizard of Oz” themed, I have done other twister rooms that utilized similar effects as some parts of this story. The semi-guided puzzle flow of the room also reminded me of some rooms that I’ve done in the past.
The story was basically just the story for “The Wizard of Oz” which was effective but not anything super innovative.
This game was generally pretty straightforward but there were a couple of puzzles that were a bit more challenging.
I don’t remember any physical locks in this room. It was mostly keypads/technical effects.
The space is relatively small but could comfortable accommodate 4 people and that would be more than enough for the linear nature of the game.
The puzzles would obviously be difficult for children but the theming would be great for young escape room enthusiasts!
One element of the room was bypassed because of a technical difficulty.
Physically active
Not at all
No crawling, climbing, or running required.
Accessibility
As far as mobility restrictions go, this room is accessible for anyone who feels comfortable navigating tight spaces.
Multiple puzzles utilize color and you must be able to hear clues given by audios during the game.
