Escape London (Islington): Alice

The room had a nice spread of puzzles, including sounds, logic, observation, and searching. It was also nicely built, and I particularly loved the crawling space to further explore the Wonderland area. 

The company has now shut down, but the team is still building escape rooms under a different name. So, I think if you've played and loved their games, this may be a good supply address for owners. 

Another Alice in Wonderland inspired game.  This game features a mostly linear progression from puzzle to puzzle) with a fun couple of transitions.  It’s a fun whimsy game but nothing that’s going to blow your socks off and thematically was the weakest of the games we played.  

Disappointingly dull game. Nothing made sense with multiple points of ‘this isn’t part of the game’ or bits that must be used for reset. Just get a key to get a key to get a key. Felt lazy design and poor quality. Expected more from this 

Was a decent looking room but the game is basically following a book of instructions with about 10 blank pages between each one just to waste your time and slow you down because the game is pretty easy.

If you want a more fun experience, try working out the puzzles on your own without the book telling you what to do.

A good game that would be great for a family with young kids, but definitely too light on puzzles for a normal adult team. We had over half the time left but didn't feel like we were flying through the game either, we were just going at a steady pace and we even got stuck a few times so I can't imagine how quickly we would've escaped if we didn't get stuck at all! We didn't really feel like we got what we paid for with an hour experience. 

Despite that, the room had a few engaging puzzles, some nice props, a good use of space, and a great host as always.

The design/set was good but could've had more attention to detail on hiding things like wires and maglocks just to ensure teams are fully immersed in the experience.

One element of the game that we weren't expecting but was a fun surprise - no spoilers but another reason kids would enjoy this game. 

Some clever moments throughout the game and nicely framed with Alice's diary for reference. Room is looking quite tatty in places but understandable as it is closing in the next couple of weeks.

Cute, whimsical room. A little on the tatty side but on the flipside, extremely cheap. We enjoyed.
