Welcome to Cowley Manor, a bed and breakfast in the UK. It’s a historical location that even contains the very room where Lewis Carrol wrote his masterpiece, Alice in Wonderland. You’ve had a long day touring the city and finally make it to your room at the inn. You sink into your bed and have very strange and colorful dreams . . . at least you think you’re dreaming, but you don’t remember ever falling asleep. Can you make your way through Alice’s dream before the innkeeper wakes you?

A game that honors the source material well through a number of distinct and hand-built environments, with plenty of puzzles to keep us busy, but a quick refresh of some of the props and tech could make this experience a bit more cohesive and seamless.

Gameplay

There were plenty of puzzles that all fit the story and theme well, but most puzzles begin with interpreting a riddle or text, so they started to feel a bit repetitive toward the end. The puzzle flow only had one small obstacle toward the end - we were ready to begin a newly opened puzzle, but our GM told us to wait until we had solved another puzzle in the room before continuing.

Atmosphere

You can tell a lot of love was put into building a good number of unique spaces that felt lived in.

Story

The story follows the beats of the original story well, but the story didn’t quite build up to an ending and the game concluded rather suddenly.

A couple of the spaces might start to feel tight with more than 4 players

Was anything broken?

Yes

There were a handful of times where our GM had to notify us what happened when we solved a puzzle. One puzzle’s mechanics weren’t working when we solved it, but our GM helped us move forward.

Live actors

No

Physically active

Somewhat

Before the game, our GM offered a secondary way to avoid the one physical activity during the game.

Accessibility

Stepping up and crawling are built into the experience, but avoiding those might be possible. A couple of puzzles rely on color differentiation. Clues are given with audio only via walkie talkie.

Easy to find location

Yes

The confirmation email provides plenty of detailed instructions on how to find their location in the mall.

Parking

We walked, but the confirmation email provides detailed parking information for the mall.

Safety

Yes

We did encounter a hanging wire while feeling around for a clue, and our entrance door seemed like the only emergency exit door we could backtrack to if needed, but nothing that made us feel unsafe.

Cool theme. Alright puzzles. I remember thinking the upkeep could be a bit better.

Yes

There were a couple of glitches/late actions after things were triggered, but it didn't take away from the experience.

Very unique Alice and wonderland room. Felt immersed immediately when we walked into the escape room. Definitely felt the creativity in the making of this room. Some puzzles needed to reset in order to work.

Down the rabbit hole we went… and WOW. Hands down one of the most visually stunning and immersive escape rooms we’ve ever played. The Alice in Wonderland room at Mind Twist is next-level creativity — the sets, the lighting, the puzzles — it all felt like we were actually in Wonderland! Every twist had us smiling, and the tech they use is super impressive (no basic combo locks here 👏). We’ve done a lot of escape rooms, but this one stands out for how well it blends story, challenge, and pure fun. Big shoutout to the staff too — super friendly and clearly passionate about making it a magical experience. 🐰⏱️ Highly recommend for families, date nights, or anyone who wants to escape reality for an hour. We’ll definitely be back to try their other rooms!

Great flow.

Great lobby feel and greeting from game master.

The game master was friendly and we had an opportunity to speak with the owners, and they were absolutely fantastic.

Story

You can never go wrong with an Alice in Wonderland story and these guys did it right.

Difficulty

Medium

Hard enough to keep your mind going, but not so difficult to wear you were stuck and not having fun. And even if you were stuck, there’s an unlimited Hintz and the game master was very helpful.

Well, it’s Las Vegas so you’re gonna have to find a parking garage. We were staying at a hotel down the street so we just walked.
