A visually stunning room with many moments that made us squeal with delight. Several different types of puzzles to suit big kids and little kids alike. Definitely required strong communication between us at multiple times

There are better wonderland rooms out there, but this was an okay experience.

This was our 400th room and the hosts Lucy and Keiran went above and beyond, superb hosting. 

We really enjoyed the game, lovely design, original puzzles, a beautifully done Alice in Wonderland room

This room felt very original and was a treat to look at. Loved the set decoration and the host was brilliant. Great fun if you’ve got children too.

We have played a few enigma rooms now, and like nearly all of their games, this one does not disappoint.

The room is vibrant and well decorated. The puzzles are a good mix of original and established. 

The hosting was excellent, with the team spending the time to talk to us about this and other escape rooms.

Would we travel specifically to play this game : Yes

We loved the puzzles from start to finish, every type of puzzle you can imagine was here - including a great puzzle that needs at least 2 people, this is our favourite puzzle to date.

A really clever room that is beautiful to look at and has a wide variety of puzzle styles. It would appeal to first time escape teams, families and experienced teams as there is plenty to do! As we have come to expect from this venue the hosting (huge thanks to Ava) was superb, clues were delivered promptly when requested and the props were excellent and totally suited to the theming of the room.

Really well done in terms of aesthetics. Quite a lot to do in the room and a lot of variety in the puzzles and mechanics. Best Alice room we’ve done yet!

A gorgeous room with a real variety of puzzles on offer that we just loved. There are so many cute Wonderland nods in here and every puzzle should be cherished because they are all so delightful.

There were some clever little touches that made it a real treat and we were sad to finish this one.

This room is a lot for a 2 player team. We got out with under 5 mins left and there was a point I thought we were going to overrun! The room looked great and smelled really nice (they told us they have plugins for all the rooms that are linked to the themes) so that was a great touch. We lost quite a bit of time over some of the puzzles but I think a bigger team may have helped - maybe we were just running slow that day! Nicely themed with lots to do, could have been a bit more linear if they wanted to make it easier?

Quite happy with this room. Loved the theme of the room and the setup. The puzzles were just the right difficulty (a bit to the easy side) that you were challenged but had a lot of progress. Lots of counting puzzles, but also others more challenging puzzles. 

Technically we connected with two computers and could see when the other teammate solved puzzles. It worked great. The same did moving between different parts of the game.

Only problem was one directional lock that did not quite translate well into online.

This room experience was amazing.  There were 4 of us on different laptops and it all worked really well together.  Our only issue was we were super disappointed we weren't doing it in person!!!!

Madder than a mad hatter at a tea party (that had run out of tea)!

It helps if everyone (i) can count and (ii) can count... D'oh!

Another great online game from Enigma Wakefield.  Good fun room which users can work individually to help the cause but does require some team work

Played online version of this game. Familiar with telescape and typing in lock codes though the directional ones become a bit of a pain.

Needed one hint for something we hadn’t spotted changed to be looked at but still made good time. A nice looking room that I’m sure is fun in real life too.

This is an online version of an actual Escape Room. 

You can look around the room 360ΒΊ by dragging the view, much like Google Street View. Then, you can click on some objects to get a closer view. There is a limited inventory for grabbing items and putting them in places, but most achievements are via opening number/letter locks and pushing buttons.

It is well-themed on Alice in Wonderland and would have been a nice Room to do in-person. Not too difficult for experienced Escapers.

Very cute escape game! Two of us played and made it out in 49-ish minutes with no hints, but we play a lot of rooms and it didn't feel too easy πŸ™‚ Satisfying to get the puzzles, very logical, well-adapted from the physical room!

Fun digital game, good value for money.  Some quite tricky puzzles mixed in with some easy ones as well a couple needing good teamwork.  Easier than Uncle Artemis but I think that game pips this one but only just.

We loved this room. Well put together and great flow of puzzles. We actually had to collaborate, which we think we see far too little of in the rooms we have been in so far.

Really enjoyed this. Played with my mum who is a total beginner and there was a good mix of things for both of us to do. Nothing too difficult, but mostly because the game had a very nice flow to it, so it was always clear what went where. There was one puzzle where we almost used a hint and then had the "aha" realisation just at the last moment. Very satisfying. A lovely-looking game and would recommend for any level of experience. 

The game does have at least one puzzle relying on sound and it wasn't obvious if there was a transcript available. And there are a couple of puzzles that might be tricky for someone with a colour impairment as the colours weren't labelled.

Big escape room fans and we really enjoyed this. The telescaping feature is SO fun, the videos made solving locks so satisfying, and the fact there was no host was a HUGE plus for us! 

We loved it-- you should try it

What a great Hour!(... and a bit!!)  The online controls were easy to use.  The game flowed well and had good visuals, we almost felt like we were in the room. Can't recommend highly enough, excellent value for money.

This was generally a fairly cool translation of a physical room into a digital format.  There was one clue that I never figured out how to see, and one element that was really impossible without the clue for a person playing alone.  But some clever elements, and a generally good interface.

A really great Telescape game.  It uses images of a real escape room, which a lot of companies do, but this felt better.  Very fun game that had some excellent puzzles.   

Reviews by escape room review sites

In Escape from Wonderland, you and your team play a modern β€˜Alice’ type character when, after falling asleep at the bottom of your garden (*cries in tiny London apartment without a garden*), you find yourself falling and falling into Wonderland. No white rabbit, it’s a trippy sequence into the literary world but this time you’ve got to escape. The residents of Wonderland are nowhere to be found and threats from the Red Queen of β€œOff with your head!” loom over you. The only thing to do? ESCAPE! And do so quickly!
