Enjoyed this room and the strong Lewis Carroll theme played through in both the decorations and the puzzles. The premise was to open and move through various doors and the entry room had something like six doors in it. We spent the whole game like we weren't working fast enough which made it feel very intense because we hadn't realised that the majority of doors were for decoration only!

What a wonderful room! Such a great concept, lovely mix of puzzles and tasks, brilliant humour and some really lovely aha!s. I really hope this concept can be recreated somewhere when TimeTrap closes, as it was so enjoyable! Lily was a wonderful GM and we genuinely grinned the whole way through. So well done.

This was fantastic - a room where the difficulty of the puzzles is just right given the amount of stuff there is to do, but there’s still really not much time to waste! We found it perfectly balanced in that regard, and the originality in here was superb (especially in the second half). The puzzles link very well with the theme and it was a blast from start to finish.Loved it and can’t find any faults!
Curiouser and Curiouser is the sequel to Time Trap's previous game Imaginarium. There are any number of Alice in Wonderland rooms available, but Imaginarium was unusual in combining Wonderland theming with a section set inside Lewis Carroll's mind. The sequel doubles down on that, with the premise that the author is suffering from writer's block, and needs you to enter his mind and unlock his inspiration so that he can complete his second book.
The decor here is colourful and quirky, with sepia...
Another example of a beautifully assembled game by TimeTrap that was a joy to play. The puzzles were great and on theme, and the room itself was wonderful to interact with. Don’t worry if you didn’t play the prequel to this game, you’ll still have a great time.
