The Millers thought they had the Fairytale life; a wonderful marriage, a beautiful home and a gorgeous little daughter, Olivia.
They also played lots of games, challenging games. It had become an addiction, so when a stranger set them a challenge to find and escape his lair with riches beyond their wildest dreams promised upon success. They just couldnโ€™t refuse.
The price to pay on failure... a mere gift of hearts desire.
This mere gift turned out to be their little daughter Olivia, who disappeared from her bedroom in the dead of night. They have spent the years since searching for the mysterious stranger and their daughter, hoping to play the game again and win her back.
Having finally found him and agreed the stake, they are now pleading with other escapologists to help them defeat the wicked, little man.
Do you want to play a game?
Do you have the skills to defeat the man with no name?
Are you prepared? As there are worse things in life to lose, than just a game.
After all, not all Fairytales have a happy ending.

After talking with the host we still feel the final 'puzzle' was a guess which was disappointing

Good story, great hosting and tests your mental and visual abilities ๐Ÿ˜‰. Had some moments that heart was racing with a fear element, but not so much you couldn't complete the rooms - was a nice amount to push you outside comfort zone but not scare you.

This room was a little different, there was more than just the escape involved. The story made sense as you went through the room. The hosts were very accommodating with accepting our last minute booking and the games master was really enthusiastic about hosting us, he even recommended this game after we played their Trapped room.
