The Wicked Witch did not die when she was drenched in water. Her life force and powers remain in a green crystal, and she has captured Toto, Dorothy’s beloved pet dog!
You need to travel back to Oz, and use your brains, heart and courage to finally destroy the Wicked Witch’s powers by throwing the crystal into water. Only then can Toto be released and saved.

This escape room was pure joy! This room stays very true to the original story of OZ, as a fan of the source material is was great seeing it being brought to life, with little nods to the original film in the set, like the witches feet poking from under the house. There was also a large variety of puzzles which was great to get you thinking outside the box. There is some physical activity involved including some small spaces (not dark), so might not be for everyone but I thoroughly enjoyed this room and would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and quick game!

All the rooms we did here were fantastic and it was hard to choose a favourite. This one stands out for its beautiful design and faithful nods to the movie. So much care and attention has been given to the set and the puzzles, there are a lot of genuinely delightful moments and surprises. I’d say the physical/mobility requirements are a little higher than average in this room, which is worth bearing in mind.
If I only had a brain… that’s what it felt like in this room. For the beauty, whimsical, and colour - high marks. For the signposting of puzzle locks and sound quality, it fell a little flat (just like the wicked witch).
This was our first Wizard of Oz themed room and I must say it was a fun theme for a room. The initial room was cleverly done and the transition was wonderful. I think this room would be fantastic for families with younger children. There are some very physical elements with crawling and climbing around tight spaces, that for a group of 4 adults was exhausting but fun. However if you dont have somone in your group able to do this then you may have issues here.
The room was bright and colourful but other than the walls and around the edges it felt a bit lacking in set dressing compared to their other rooms. There were lots of fun elements and unique puzzles to keep you busy but they were all fairly easy. We were only really held back by our lack of observation and not noticing a fairly obvious padlock. So although we still enjoyed this room, I feel we really werent their target audience - a family or a younger group would absolutely love this!
The Wizard of Oz seems like a setting very well suited for an escape room theme, but for some reason is far less common than, say, Alice In Wonderland. Though perhaps that’s changing, with three Oz games now available around the UK.
From an entertaining beginning you’re taken into the world of Oz, which of course is filled with a host of references to the movie and a wicked witch to defeat. The theming is clever and cute with puzzles that are very much connected with the story.
Parts of this r...
For our 600th game, I think we chose well. It didn’t have the spectacle of some games, but at its heart, it was a fun game, with plenty of courage to try new things, and much brain power required to get through the challenging puzzles.
