The Christmas Treehouse Escape

Having not done the normal treehouse, I had a lot of fun in the Christmas version! The set was gorgeous and the effects were super fun. I will say you can tell the puzzles are part of a temporary room since they mostly were locks and relatively simple. Fully understandable why, it was still a amazing time! I really can’t undersell the set. Also I gotta shoutout our fabulous GM, Cloud. The room splits up the group and we were all calling for help at the same time. Cloud was super attentive and juggled all of us constantly bothering them with ease.

Well decorated room with lots of puzzles for everyone! Super fun!

mulit-linear puzzle flow, on theme, good use of the existing set build. the changes from the original version is mostly gen 1

Whole new set of puzzles in the same set! Wonderful!

We haven't done their very popular Treehouse yet, so discovering the grand room was a fun big visual surprise! We each had different puzzle tracks, so it was fun to feel like little elves with missions. The puzzles were a good variety, not overly hard, and my puzzle track was more physical (in a good easy way, not in a Jason Momoa way). A lot of fun, my favorite thing really being the visuals and heart gone into the spirit. Will definitely be back for post-holiday treehouse!

This is an amazing room for children and adults alike that want to a family Christmas event. Highly recommend this. We were ages 7 to 60 and everyone of us had a good time and enjoyed the room.

Cute Christmas additions to the room, although I have not done the base game yet. Easy to tell that it's been added to, which isn't a problem, but does slightly distract. Otherwise solid game and good for Christmas conversion.

My family visited for Thanksgiving and were dying to try the "magical troll treehouse" I had played before and told them about. Imagine my surprise when I went to book and saw it had a Christmas version that was majorly different than the original! I loved this game in its original form, and I love the holiday version too. I really enjoy the aspect of following a path of puzzles, but set in a way that the group can either split up, or work together. Plus, the set is GORGEOUS. Everything Confusion puts out is original, beautiful, and so much fun.

This was an overall amazing room. If you’ve played the treehouse, I totally recommend you do this one. I dare say this was better than the original treehouse, but I may have a small Christmas bias. From the difficulty of the room, I would recommend that beginners should try other rooms here and work their way up to this one. There are SO MANY puzzles. - Please Note: 1.) The room has been dimmed due to the storyline, it is not pitch dark but it may be a little difficult to see. A member of your group will receive a pinch light and there will be lanterns provided for you! 2.) If you have played the original treehouse and you are worrying about puzzles being the same, they ARE NOT the same! All of the puzzles are different and they all revolve around Christmas. 3.) A note universally for escape rooms, but especially for this room, don’t be afraid to ask for help! With a room with so many puzzles, some with not so clear paths, it’s alright to get lost and need help. - Overall, an amazing room (like I said in the beginning). If you’re looking for a family friendly room that’s challenging, this is a great room for you. Those who have played the treehouse, YOU NEED TO PLAY THIS!! Those who haven’t, YOU STILL NEED TO PLAY THIS!!

Overall, a really amazing room and we had a fantastic time. The owner and game master was wonderful. The room design is stunning and so immersive. Important to note that this is a 70 minute room, not the standard hour. A few hiccups for us: - The lighting is dim. It lends to the overall ambiance, so I get it. They did provide two of us with clip flashlights, but it was impossible for one person to pinch the light to operate it while also trying to work a lock. One lock in particular had very very tiny numbers and we only had one person in our group of four who could both read it and turn the tiny dials. - We struggled quite a bit with the puzzles. That said, we had a very green group. This was my fourth room, another person had done one other, and our other two people had never done an escape room. They were fantastic with hints, but we needed a lot of them. :) - There was no countdown clock, so if you want to know where you’re at on time, you’ll need to ask. - There we’re a number of counting puzzles, but no writing device, so bring your memory!! We had a great time and all four of us want to come back to do the regular treehouse when it is back!
