Step into Wonderland, where the Hatter has been accused of stealing the Queen’s Tarts. With Alice nowhere to be seen, it’s time for you to fill her shoes.
You find yourself at the Hatter’s cottage. The table is set but no one is around.
A sign on the lawn reads ‘Tea Party Cancelled by Royal Decree’. Curiouser and curiouser…
Find and return the Queen’s Tarts in 60 minutes, or it’s off with the Hatter’s head. Chop chop.

This room had a really good set and should have been good, but the puzzles didn't really flow and the games master seemed quite distracted, which meant we waited a long time if we got stuck.
Our favourite of the Escape Hunt games played so far. Gamesmaster was friendly and the Cheltenham venue is open and welcoming. Lovely props, decent puzzles and good links to the Alice in Wonderland story. Only complaint would be that there were some bits were a bit stiff or not in the best condition (one was sticky :->), which is surprising for such a newly opened venue.
We did not have a great time in this room ourselves, host was not great and poor guidance. Puzzles didn't flow and were very aged so difficult to read properly. Barely escaped which in itself was a miracle as for a long time it just felt like we were left to our own devices with nothing happening. Second time we were let down by hosting with Escape Hunt questioning how long it will be before we come back to the rooms we had not yet done.
Did anything work? Not really. Honestly, it felt more like a trip through Adventures in Override Land. It is a shame as the game had clear potential, but sadly a big chain, that do not focus on what most users on ETR would look for.
Really enjoyed this one. Great scenery, great props, loved the Cheshire Cat! Would recommend this highly to families, the ming is spot on. And not a number padlock in sight!

Whilst Alice in Puzzleland is available to play at multiple sites across the UK, we chose the closest to London: Reading. During our experience there, we were led by the Cheshire Cat (played by the awesome Games Master Hamish) through the rabbit hole and into the magical world of Wonderland.
Our GM declared we were the best team he had ever seen play this game. But actually...
