Forest of Echoes

Gorgeous room, great puzzle design, but not the challenge we had anticipated. We have done all the other rooms at Next Level, and saved this one til last because it was supposed to be the most difficult. It was great atmosphere, and fun, but we felt it could have been a bit more challenging.

This is a non linear escape room packed with many puzzles. The set design is fantastic and puzzles suited the theming very well. However, as we progressed, the story increasing became confusing and unnecessarily complicated.

6/10

Brilliant room. Great theme. Great effects and story and great games master. Highly recommended

A fun whimsical game with an immersive set design and theme. Fun interaction with a passionate game master is what will make or break this experience! Worth the stop in Sydney!

Gameplay was really fun, GM was really immersed in the roleplay. Difficult room though, so definitely be prepared, can definitely see people getting lost in many sections. One of the best escape rooms and well worth doing, especially with a good team.

8.5/10 Set design and storyline flowed beautifully. There was a varied and creative mix of tech & mechanical puzzles which were really fun to experience. Our gamemaster, Rosey, was our disembodied guide throughout the whole game and was in character from the moment we stepped into the building to the time the game ended. That added to the immersion and felt really attentive & whimsical.

We completed this room with 2 people. It was fun to do with 2 people as we could be involved in all the puzzles but would also be fun with 3 or 4 people. The aesthetics of the room was beautiful and there were some very unique puzzles with minimal locks. It was a bit more narrative-based so at times you need to wait for the story to progress before being able to solve more puzzles. The use of lighting in this room was excellent and contributed well to the immersive gameplay. I personally prefer escape rooms with multi rooms and ones that have more puzzles, but it was still very fun nevertheless.

This is a unique room that's worth doing if you are in Sydney. It's more plot driven and narration focused than most escape rooms, which makes it a unique experience. The puzzles were challenging - And a few were extremely clever. Good set design, had a fun experience.
