🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• Wow, Wow, Wow!! The set design was phenomenal! Starting off with a monochromatic color scheme which transports us onto a farm in Kansas to something even more spectacular later on (not giving away anything, you guys will have to go experience this yourselves). "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" is truly an immersive experience. The sound of a tornado coming really built up the suspense of the storyline.

• Because "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" is a familiar story to most, you really needed to implement all the details from the story. This game was based from the book and we were truly impressed by the way the game designer was able to capture the characters, props and the entire experience.

• 13th Hour Escape Rooms spared no expense on the props. What we already thought was big, was made even bigger.

• The puzzles were not extremely difficult, but fit perfectly with the storyline. Everything that we received or had to use was somehow associated with what happened to a certain character.

• There was a jaw-dropping moment in this room that we had the pleasure of seeing how it operated after the game. After playing 700+ rooms, we probably only seem 1 other game that was able to complete this transition.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• There was just one puzzle that we wish had a little more indication on what it was operating on when we pressed it. Since there's no sound or light, we actually thought it was broken until we got the hint. It would be cool if the hint allowed the player to discover this fun reveal themselves.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" has something for everyone to enjoy whether you're a fan of the classic story or just looking to immerse yourself into another world. 13th Hour Escape Rooms did an amazing job at providing a perfect balance of an escape room and an immersive experience (although I would say this definitely feels more like an adventure). This company continuous to surprise us with high quality games and innovative ideas. Every time when we're there, we only have one question: when will you release your next game?
