📖 THE STORY

It’s time to follow Alice back to Wonderland! It seems all her friends have been captured by the Queen of Hearts and we need to reunite them in time for their wonderful tea party.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• The set design from the moment you enter Never Out is extremely classy. The lavish cinema themed décor and furniture immediately clues you in to the fact that the games in this escape facility are all movie based.

• Often companies fail to provide somewhere sufficient for teams to take their photo; thought was clearly applied here. A small stage with a director’s chair and several other props are situated in front of a specially designed and lighted backdrop. It was a great and we had fun taking both group and solo pictures. My only suggestion would be to provide specific room related props too, e.g. a Mad Hatter’s hat or teacups for Alice in Wonderland, or a VHS for The Ring, etc.

• The quality of the room construction is a continuation of what you experience in the lobby. A high attention to detail has been applied to ensure the decoration enhances the theming. Small touches like a bubble machine and music help to heighten the immersion into Wonderland.

• The rooms are spacious, bright, and filled with decorative props.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• The biggest negative was the excessive volume of the music, which drowned out the other sound effects. The staff stated they were aware of this common complaint and hoped it would be rectified in the future. It seems they cannot manually adjust the music level.

• Another sound issue relates to the often-discreet opening of small doors. There are several doors which open electronically once you solve a riddle. On more than one occasion, we had no idea because the doors did not noticeably open and there was no sound effect notifying us that a door may have opened.

• The theming of the puzzles could be aligned better with the story and characters. Whilst there was nothing wrong with their logic or functionality, they were very generic.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"Alice in Wonderland" is a whimsical adventure designed for beginners and intermediate escapers that require no prior knowledge of the story to play. This is a room for fans of logic puzzles and detailed searching.

ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO

• There are several parking spaces directly in front of the building

• There is a large lounge area with a sofa and several other comfy chairs

• There are two rooms on the second floor; however, I did not see an elevator.

• This room is not wheelchair friendly due to one a couple of steps and a need to crawl (briefly) into one room.
