The "room" (more like a building!) is very big.Lots of puzzles.The room isn't in the best condition, but it's fine.An air of creepiness throughout.Not really any thought to health and safety - I actually left the room with a few cuts. Not the end of the world, though.Would recommend if you're in Prague.

Played this at home with my husband. I think we spent more time on set up than playing the game. Good idea to set up as an escape room in your house but not very difficult at all. Most puzzles were simple to work out. A little bit of fun at home though.

Escape from Oz is a beautiful escape room, and I'm only giving it 4/5 because it's not quite up there with the best games in the area, but it's still one that should be on your must-play list. The first area is very authentic, and a little bit of nice tech to add to the atmosphere. slightly further along I do think one point is extremely realistic/immersive and I really give top marks to whoever designed that. Unfortunately I think it's probably in the puzzle area that it could do with a little more thought. most of them it's fairly obvious what to do, and there aren't many moments where you're really struggling to work out what to do next or getting a really satisfying 'AHA!' moment (but it's a good game for those who like reading and counting). There are a lot of puzzles so it still takes up the time, but I didn't feel like it was a major brain teaser overall. (However looking at instagram perhaps i'm wrong because a lot of bigger teams didn't manage to escape, so it may just be down to the individual and what they can spot.) The harder puzzles were in the final area, and we did need a little clue or two to just get through the final section and escape. The story could be slightly better too, as if you hadn't seen the film you might not really know why you're finding certain things in the last section of the game. It starts off really immersive but feels like it should be a 2 hour room with more sections to really fulfil the fantasy. And this is me being really picky, because I can see a lot of love has gone into it and lots of people will enjoy it. Maybe a 'part 2' would be something to consider one day. The hosting was really good, and if I could suggest one area of improvement it would be to have a countdown/clue system in the later areas. Going back every time was a bit of a pain and clock drainer.

The easiest of Sherlockedโs three rooms - amazing use of pre-existing rooms, though sometimes felt not all the space was utilised. A couple of moments where I felt like we were just stood waiting, but a nice theatrical ending.

Fantastic escape room! After doing close to 100 escape rooms. This is up there in my top 3, possibly my favourite. The host was very friendly and was such a good games master. The room was extremely good. Iโve never been scared in an escape room before, but I was VERY close in this one. One point, I did jump a little, but I genuinely donโt get scared. The person I was with though, was very scared ๐.
The room was very well thought out and the puzzles werenโt too hard to understand, but you needed to think about it!
I would highly recommend this escape room, and I will definitely be back to do more rooms here. Amazing!
