Once upon a time… a young woman walked into a strange hole in the wall and disappeared without a trace. Shocked eyewitnesses immediately alarmed the authorities, who started a big rescue operation. Using shovels and digging machines, a rescue team started looking for the young woman. Sadly, she was nowhere to be found. The only thing the team uncovered was a mysterious network of corridors hidden behind the wall.
It didn’t take long for people to find out that there seemed to be strange forces at work in this secret labyrinth. It was even whispered that the corridors led to a passage to a strange and magical realm. Since then, multiple expeditions, rescue teams and adventurers have tried to penetrate this wonderous land. Sadly, none of them ever returned, including the young woman.

My biggest bugbear with this game is it has more than one puzzle that has so many steps, that if you get anything wrong you have to start the long process from the top to find your mistake.
Another "please, no" was a sudoku and mastermind puzzle.
It's not a bad game, and if you don't take a step wrong, is a solid, standard escape room.
If yoy make any mistakes on your puzzling journey, prepare to be frustarted and bored by basic, long-winded puzzles.

When an escape room looks the part and - of all things - smells the part, you know you're onto a good thing! The Wonderland theme is abundant here and not only in the game itself; the welcome area fits beautifully into Lewis Carroll's world and the story behind the room links nicely to Leiden itself.

The decor in the room itself is the big hitter here but it's not style over substance: the puzzles are gorgeous and a few little puzzle chains were so delightful that we stopped what we were doing in the room just to appreciate them.

There's one particular feature we'd never seen before and this blew every other Wonderland-themed room we've done out of the water.

Our host was Linke, who was absolutely lovely. She was a shrewd GM who held back on hints and who clearly loves escape rooms.

This one is an absolute must if you're near Leiden.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Several companies in the Netherlands impressed me with the quality of their hospitality, and Escape From Wonderland more than any - welcoming us in with drinks and refreshments, friendly in a way that made us feel like guests not just another team passing through - even though, after utterly underestimating the challenge of finding a parking space in Leiden, we straggled in red-faced half an hour late for our booking slot.

The company’s single eponymous game is of course based on Alice in Wonde...

8.50 / 10.0
The provider Escape From Wonderland in Leiden operates only one room of the same name. We were welcomed very nicely by the owner and had the opportunity to talk to each other for a longer time with tea, sweets and pastries. This Alice room is not off the peg but was developed with great attention to detail and is run with passion.

Escape from Wonderland absolutely enchanted us. The varied setting, the many detailed room elements, and the classic yet thematically well-integrated and cooperative puzzles made our adventures in Wonderland unforgettable.

Il était une fois ... dans la jolie petite ville de Leiden, sur la rue principale, un endroit qui n’était pas comme les autres. Derrière la devanture d’une vitrine magnifiquement décorée se trouvait en endroit tout droit venu des contes de fées. Dans ce qui ressemble à un salon de thé avec plein de petites tasses, de friandises et de magnifiques photos d’artistes sur les murs, se tient une femme qui ressemble plus ...
