Jam packed full of puzzles! Loved the sense of clear progress throughout and the lots of cute, fun little puzzles throughout. Definitely as others have said play part 1 and 2 back to back to get the full effect.

Great continuation of Part 1 - worth doing them together if you can for the full effect. Not quite as busy as Part 1 but we enjoyed it thoroughly and there were a couple of lovely moments. Definitely worth a play if in the area.

This worked so well going from the first to the second. As the reveal is cleverly put together. The room followed similar rules and logic as the first. We saw it more as a continuation. Encourage to split up and conquer. Worth a play if in the area! Good fun.

The sequel to Candyland, this is best played straight afterwards, primarily to get the full appreciation of the transition between the two.
It's another superb game, although it was our fourth of the day so we had a bit of padlock fatigue at this point! Nevertheless, it was stacked full of puzzles and clever quirks that made it unique and brilliant.

This is a very clever idea. I don't think its as good as Candyland 1 but its worth doing nontheless. Solid theming and story with another great range of puzzles to deal with. Didnt feel like there was as much to do in the original Candyland or maybe we were just up to speed by then.

This is really special ... a perfect follow-on from CandyLand 1 ... and something we have not seen anywhere else... very clever idea and well executed. Again, good quantity of puzzles, many can be completed in parallel, keeping everyone busy .... really nice finish.
I've initally knocked this game half a star off than what I scored Candyland one. Purely because of the interval that you have to wait between rooms. I know thats harsh (and the wait is necessary) but the 5 mins wait sucked the energy out of us (probably because we had been escaping for 12 hours at this point). But I put it back for the sheer wow moment after the wait, its so clever and inventive. Such a fun room to play, I loved it.
Following on directly from the end of Candyland 1 (you cannot play 2 without playing 1) you must then make sure your hard earned victory in the first game does not get defeated by nefarious deeds. Clever design, coupled with light and sound effects render the space in some very clever ways. Play wise it's effectively the same style of game just with more puzzles and ideas. It hard to walk out of this game without a massive grin on your face.

We’ve played a few sweet shop/factory games now and, although they have been enjoyable, they’ve never quite hit the Willy Wonka spot for me, in terms of capturing the wacky creativity I’d love to see
