The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

A good nod to the books and movies while still being an escape room with good puzzles. Really enjoyed the beginning and slightly lost interest in terms of escape room puzzles as the room went on. Production value and immersiveness was very high. It was the second room done at this location on the same day.

We had a lot of fun playing this Wizard of Oz themed experience. There was a mix of generation one puzzles and tech. The game follows along with the story in the classic book starting off at the home of Aunty Em in sepia tones before dropping you off in the colorful world of Oz. The set was pretty fun to play through.

Good room, not as great as the other rooms here. It was a but puzzling at first to find out where to start. Wasn't that hard after that but fun.

Fun room with wonderful set design! Not necessarily a standout like the other ones from this location, but still a great choice for families and younger players who might not be able to experience the scarier games at this venue. There is an awesome transition to Oz. I kinda wish that the room followed the story of the movie more. The room didn’t seem interested in actually portraying an actual narrative, let alone the actual story. It was mostly a hodgepodge of elements that didn’t include the scarecrow or lion. There are puzzles that have vague confusing signposting, and it was rarely clear how we had to use the numbers. It then ended abruptly too in a weird way. I still had fun, but it’s hard not to compare it to the 13th Hour version in New Jersey that’s even more wonderful. The overall place is fun to visit if the Yellow Brick Road should bring you here, but don’t go in expecting movie accuracy.

We had a great time in this room. This was our first experience with an escape room and it was a blast. There was some awesome tech in this room. There was some easy to medium puzzles. If you love wizards of oz or a beginner, I say go for it.

This room looked good but the puzzles were way way way too easy

This game was okay. The set design is very cool. After all, these are haunt builders. The puzzles are just okay. There could be better signposting. The audio in the second part of this game is distracting and loud (great for a haunt, not so much for an escape room). Yet it’s not loud enough to drown out the hints we heard being given to the players in the game next to ours (the walls don’t go all the way up to the ceiling). The tech in this room was impressive and I feel that this would be a fine game for families and anyone new to escape rooms. For enthusiasts that love puzzles, this game can be skipped unless you want to enjoy some very good tech and play a Wizard of Oz themed room (albeit with no references to the Lion or Scarecrow). 😢

Rating: 3.5/5 Overall the set was really visually appealing and immersive, the transition to the land of Oz was really cool with fun special effects. There was also lots of tech. However, the puzzles weren't great and some were frustrating for us. The ending just seemed a bit abrupt and were were like, "that's it?" it wasn't quite as climactic as I'd hoped. They also didn't really do a good job integrating the characters from the movie. We played as a team of 2 and it was a bit harder but doable.

The audio was kind of annoying 😂

Linear but very immersive room. Incredible set, highly recommend! The only thing I didn’t like is there was not a clock showing our time so we had no idea where we were.
