Legends speak of a hidden passage concealed within the room, a doorway to a frozen world long forgotten. Beyond it lies a vast, snow-covered forest locked in an endless winter. For generations, a powerful sorceress has held the land in her icy grip, draining its life and trapping it in silence. Deep within the forest, a rare and ancient crystal is said to hold the power to break the curse. But it is hidden, protected, and not meant to be found.
Will you dare to cross into the frozen wilderness, uncover the crystal, and restore the forest before time runs out? Or will you, too, become part of the winter that never ends?

Room 2 of a break escape Loughborough weekend. 

Lovely theming. But we had a couple of issues (I think we had something open far too early but we played the puzzles anyway ) it’s  a pretty room and some good puzzles   We found all the extra time too. It’s a pretty room but not too challenging but a good range of puzzles.

What a lovely room! A wholly thrilling entry into the main part of the room got us old folk well over excited and we weren't disappointed with the rest of the game. Loads of great puzzles with nice, clear signposting and the most lovely room decor we had seen in a while. 

Break Escape really go the extra mile in their rooms for theming, it's tempting to stand and admire the scenery instead of getting on with the game.

Thanks to other reviewers here we didn't get bogged down in the side quests (although my elderly gentleman partner was determined to get one and did!).  Some physical (for us oldies) and great fun puzzles were a real treat.

Loved this room and the hosting from Anais was superb, definitely an excellent GM with a knack for the job!

Reviews by escape room review sites

Some game reviews are straightforward to write, others are not; this is one of the tricky ones. But let’s start by saying Enchanted Forest is Break Escape’s fourth and newest (so far) room, and places you in a magical snowbound forest which contains no direct references to the Narnia books but which is nonetheless a clear and affectionate homage to them.

A nice opening sequence leads dramatically into the main part of the game. I’ll avoid details, but at this point I’d been completely won over,...

I don’t know if it was because we were tired or hungry, but we struggled to click with this game. It was pretty and impressive, but the puzzles, particularly the search element, just left us feeling deflated.
An enchanting game with a memorable start that throws you right into the heart of a beautiful fantasy world. Plenty of logical puzzles and little to frustrate plus some bonus challenges to keep more experienced teams occupied.
A nicely themed game packed with puzzles and sporting the start to an escape game that I’ve long been waiting for.
