Lovely room very pleasing on the eye with some unique features. Very limited headroom in places. There are a lot of interesting padlocks including a couple I hadn’t come across before. Enjoyable but we found it a little on the easy side

Not one of my favourite escape games. The room is well put together with some interesting puzzles, but there are way too many padlocks to call it original. Kids and family friendly. Would class as a beginner level escape game.

Great first room for our 5 and 7 year olds - quite padlock heavy but good variety of puzzles.

Reviews by escape room review sites

In Old Father Time, the personification of time itself is in trouble, and it's up to your team to save him. That's one of the more potentially surreal premises for a game I've seen, but in practice there are no Dali-esque melting clocks here - instead, it's a rather charming fantasy woodland setting, the sort where furry animals wear smoking jackets and eyeglasses, and tree trunks may hold a tiny front door.

The operators at The Panic Room normally do the initial briefing inside the game room. ...

A fairytale locked in an escape room. A charming room where you should forget about the time and just soak up the atmosphere.

Of the rooms that we completed at The Panic Room, this was (in my opinion) the most beautifully designed room

Ok, as ever, lets kick off with that initial gasp of excitement as you walk through that first door – it really was one of them moments! The scenery in here is nothing short of phenomenal. Having read a few reviews about this room before, I knew we were in for something pretty special; and we really were!

This really is a pretty room, very fairytale. I loved the level of detail on so many things, particularly the elaborate keys for the giant storybook.

It’s such a cliche to call something “a game of two halves” but damned if that isn’t exactly what this was. I’ve never been so beguiled by a game for the first half only to find myself so frustrated by the second. But let’s rewind a little.

7.0 / 10

The room itself is really beautiful with some stand out pieces including large ornamental locks complementing the theme.

This was a fantastically themed room which we all found really enjoyable. The decoration and story were absolutely brilliant and while it didn’t test us too much, there were definitely some tricky bits and some great puzzles to get stuck in to!

If you are looking for a game for the whole family this is a perfect one to play. There are puzzles for all ages and the family can really enjoy this together. Puzzles are not overly difficult and it’s a very fun and entertaining hour.
