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.

Some great puzzles, although I think a little let down by the room theming, It felt a little simple, painted walls etc. Not as heavily themed as other similar rooms I had seen. Worth playing though, and had a good time with it.

Oz is emerging as the jewel in the crown here at Xscape Now, which is an impressive feat, considering the high-quality of their other rooms. It's a glorious, shining ruby of an adventure with so many cute nods to the story of The Wizard of Oz and a plethora of puzzles that vary in difficulty.
It says a lot about a room when you forget the outside world and are completely immersed in the world you are in; Oz delivers just this. It's a magical adventure created with love, creativity and a zeal for puzzles.

Really enjoyed exploring this room - it was beautiful and totally in keeping with the theme. Lots of different puzzles including one that usually leads to our downfall in rooms at the end but somehow we got it done.
This is my all time favourite room!! An amazing set which is just beautiful and makes you say ‘wow’ when you walk in! From the moment the game starts there is so much fun!
Clever and original puzzles with a real great mixture of locks and tech. There were even a few elements id never seen before in an escape room!
Excellent hosting as always. These guys always pull it out the bag 🙂
I promise if you play this room you will not be disappointed

What a fun and unique game! Lots of puzzles I'd not seen before - a little bit of something for everyone. If you like escape rooms, you'll love this. If you like Oz you'll LOVE this
Finally got round to playing Oz last week at XscapeNow. Being our local room we have a soft spot for these guys but another solid room which we thoroughly enjoyed. Nice mix of puzzles/tech and really nice flow to the room which was great. One puzzle type we hadn’t seen before but thought worked really well involving two people having to communicate across the room (if you have played it you’ll know which bit I am referring to). The set design and munchkin house were great fun too! Keep up the good work guys, looking forward to the two new rooms later this year. 👍🏼
What a room! If you are looking for something that challenges you both mentally and physically, with a strong storyline, this is the room for you! There truly is something for everyone - and our host was brilliant!

Excellent theming and hosting as always. Beautiful set design and really original ideas. Really unique and playful with some great ‘ah ha!’ moments. Definitely worth a visit!
Reviews by escape room review sites
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.
