I particularly liked the thematic start to this room and then how we got to discover the rest of the space from there. All of the puzzles were really solid and enjoyable, but there was not enough of them... We solved the room in just over half an hour, gaining 2nd on the all time leaderboard, yet didn't feel as if we were rushing at any stage. Shame the branch has now closed, but with a little more TLC on the decor and temperature of the room (it was very cold!) this could have been a lot more!

Decent theming for this room, again with a good variety of puzzles. A couple of frustrating elements for us, but hinting was well themed.

We were a team of 3, two adults and our 9 year old daughter.  We loved it! The start is great and the puzzles were fab however we needed some help, the host was brilliant just giving us enough clues to point us in the right direction. 

We’d definitely do it again.

The other game at their Loughborough branch is better but still has some teething issues that needed ironing out.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Great puzzles, lovely design, and some fun extras made this a game that we were sad to have finished. Be careful though, this game could turn out to be expensive, I think the Disney love is back and it’s time we booked another holiday to the happiest place on Earth.
A charming game with pretty decoration, solid puzzles, a good gameflow and some memorable moments thrown in. According to the owner, this game was created before he'd really played any escape rooms himself, something that, with its series of good design-choices, wasn't at all obvious.
