Read our review on “The Dimension Gate” and "The Wizard Realm" to learn more about Puzzle Theory’s location.

As we approached our last dimension at Puzzle Theory, we truly enjoyed the feeling of being “transported”. Each room was so uniquely designed not with just themes but the puzzles as well. This time we were looking for a rogue engineer in a jungle, hence “The Jungle Dimension”. The room was dimly lit but you would have lanterns to assist you. Our recommended player size is 3-4 since there will be a puzzle later on that would be much easier if we had an extra hand (by the way, there would be a choice to bypass this as well, but you must really give it a try first). The room was very “colorful” and most jungle props were represented by paintings to resemble the lush greens and animals. Each time you completed a puzzle, you’ll be awarded with a victory sound. It felt like a jungle “party”! We also felt a little “Jumanji” inspiration with some of the puzzle pieces. The latter part felt a little out of context in terms of the room design as we’re not sure what we’ve just entered as it just felt like a room with more puzzles. If it could be designed to correlate with the storyline more (perhaps the hiding spot of the rogue agent but somehow resemble that in the room design), it would create a more “wow” moment for the players. Overall, this was another unforgettable realm in Dr. X’s world.

Puzzle Theory is currently working on their largest horror themed room called “Warehouse 13”. We are so excited to go and test out the final product when it’s ready as we heard that this time it’ll be a different Dr’s realm and it’ll have a completely different take!

Disclosure: This room has some similarities with "The Jungle" at Amazing Escape Room Freehold. There were a few new puzzles we haven't seen here but majority were quite similar. You might want to take note prior to booking.
