🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

Talk about recreating a fairytale world! From Wendy's apartment to Captain Hook's ship to landing in Neverland, we were able to experience it all! It was impressive how the creator utilized the space she had to make us feel like we were actually "traveling" from one place to another.
The lighting added various types of perception for us as players to experience being indoors and outdoors. We really enjoyed looking up at the starry night skies in front of Captain Hook's ship.
There was a mixture of physical and logic puzzles. Most of them were actions that went with the storyline and there were even a few magical reveals along the way.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

We were on the fence about one of the puzzles as we felt that the clue was a bit unclear on what we were looking for.
An item used on a clue was fainting, making it hard to read.
The ending felt inconclusive. Perhaps adding some victory music would help as we weren't completely sure that we were done.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

I'm a huge fan of Disney and everything relating to fairytales so even before going into this game, I was already mesmerized by their lobby ambience. If I were to open an escape room company, this is the exact type of theming I would be going for. Since this is a family business and everything is made in-house, it's not a Disney type of budget production but you definitely feel the love that has gone into the creation of their rooms. With that said, I thoroughly enjoyed reliving "Neverland". This room is great for adults and children and with a little imagination, anything could happen!
