You find yourself at the Hatter’s cottage. The table is set but no one is around.

Filling In for Alice
This was my first venture down the Rabbit Hole for an Alice in Wonderland-themed adventure. Escape Hunt offer concessions for students and seniors.
Story
Find and return the Queen’s tarts before it’s off with the Mad Hatter’s head, for he has been accused of stealing them.
Puzzles
Interactive, with a far bigger focus on magical mechanics rather than coded locks, which suited this particular room.
Mise-en-scene
Quirky and colourful, the scenery is artfully linked to Lewis Carrol’s novel. It’s compact but this adds to the immersion. An eccentric Hatter provided the odd verbal clue when needed.
Final Comments
We retrieved the Queen’s tarts with 15 minutes to spare. Take no more than 4 people to this challenge, otherwise it’d be too crowded.

Have been to many escape rooms but this was awful by comparison. You turn up and there's noone there to great you for so long you wonder what on earth is going on. Eventually when they come they usher you into the room as fast as they can. So many parts were broken. 1 fell on my daughter's head causing a bump. The clues were Illogical & did not link together at all. All done in a tiny room with poor lighting. Nothing to Wow you. Absolute rip off!




We played as a team of 4 to bring back the pies to the afternoon tea of Alice and her friends. the whole room looks superb and the design of the puzzles and props are absolutely amazing! Our host, Michael was purely amazing as well. Highly recommended.

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.
Reviews by escape room review sites
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.
