Back in a magical time, the Brothers Grimm were the guardians of the land of fairy-tales, but something is wrong. The brothers are nowhere to be found and the stories are in disarray.

We need your help brave adventurers to restore the stories and collect the "Happily Ever Afters".

We have just enough magic to send you to their realm for 75 minutes, after this time you must return to our world.

How many will you collect before your time runs out?

We restored 13 happily ever afters which isn't too shoddy for a team of 2! A great room which caters for novices and experts - such a clever design.

We absolutely loved this game, the main objective can be done in a decent time leaving the 'Happily Ever Afters' to the end, which is where the real competition starts!

A really beautiful room, immersive with an impressive eye for detail, this room is not to be missed. We still don't know how many 'Happily Ever Afters' there are, meaning we'll have to go back to try and get them all!

What a brilliant game! Fantastic set, great hosting as usual from Enigma. Enough to keep you busy the whole time and the perfect amount of signposting for each puzzle. Kieran gave us a push in the right direction exactly when needed without actually giving us the answers! Gutted to have now played all the local games!

A great escape room with an excellent puzzle variety! The "main" puzzles were very engaging and they did a great job being obvious as to what to do, with much of the challenge being in navigating and completing the puzzle. This meant we never felt stuck for long, as the struggle was in less "what to do" and more "How to accomplish what we want to do". The inclusion of "side puzzles" is a great way to ensure the players feel accomplished in their win, whilst allowing for some trickier, and more conventional, puzzles that fill up the rest of the play time whilst providing a wealth of content. Our host did an excellent job at giving hints just as people began to get frustrated or on the wrong track with puzzles, and as a result the experience was extremely smooth. Overall this was an excellent time, and I'll definitely be checking what else they have to offer!

The amount of effort put into this room was clear. A great variety of puzzles enough to keep the biggest of teams busy with a awesome scaling built into the game. Looks great some nice puzzles I don't think anyone would not enjoy this room. Too much content for the 2 of us but still absolutely loved the room and finished the main story which is all you need to do to achieve success but so much left to do if you can or have a bigger team. 75 minutes of fun I recommend everyone gets to this room.

Reviews by escape room review sites

You know we love an escape room here at PSG, and having played a lot between us, it was bound to happen that one of us would reach the 100 escape rooms milestone and that is exactly what happened last week. I finally played my 100th room and what a corker of a room it was. Enigma Escapes Wakefield was the destination and I had chosen Grimm Up North, a fairytale themed escape room where fairytales had gone wrong and we needed to complete the happily ever afters.
