Adventure on the high seas! The notorious Captain Hook has captured your group and locked you in the brig, deep in the bowels of The Jolly Roger. When dawn breaks the nefarious villain will make you walk the plank, but a new friend has offered you a way out… and she knows where Hook keeps his treasure map.
While the crew sleeps you’ll take control of the ship, set a course for the second star to the right and head straight on ‘til morning! You have 60 minutes to dodge Hook’s clutches, find your way to Neverland and escape with riches untold.
So, don’t delay. As those familiar with Neverland will know… the clock is ticking.

Very impressive set and decoration. Lots of puzzles to solve but there is one that is quite tedious to solve through Zoom. There are a few nice effects in the room.
Some clever and different puzzles. Some nice use of tech and the theme was well done. Would have been nice to have the avatar more in character, and I would have liked to have done less puzzles on the inventory - found it detracted from the game play a bit
Very immersive set, and nice tie between the puzzles and the narrative. The translation to online was only okay--definitely needed to use the inventory system, which was difficult for one of our group members who was using a phone as a second device. With their dwarf's mining mission game the GM did a tour of the room at the start, which was very helpful at getting us going. That was missing here, which made the progress quite slow. Probably very cool in person, but a bit clunky as an online game.
Pretty game, fun GM, good puzzles and an all-round good experience. The one downside is that a couple of the puzzles have a physical element that you can't fully enjoy remotely.
Plenty of content to keep you engaged, a decent inventory system to allow everyone on the team to get involved and the cartoonish set lends itself particularly well to remote play.
Definitely one to recommend, especially for families where there's something for everyone. I particularly appreciated the fun start so make sure the whole team is paying attention early on.
This ranks very slightly below their other popular game, Seven Dwarves, for me because the final puzzles and ending didn't translate quite as well to playing remotely from my point of view.

There are any number of escape rooms themed after Alice in Wonderland, but Neverland is the first game I’ve come across based on that other early 20th Century children’s classic Peter Pan. And this is a beautiful and creative game that shows what potential the theme has, mixing magic with pirates and adventure.
This story starts with you imprisoned by Captain Hook’s pirates; your goal is to not just escape but also find hidden treasure. All of Improbable’s games impressed with their set design,...
This game was as fun as it was beautiful and is an instant favourite of ours. The use of technology to push forward the story was inspired and something we haven’t seen before in a room. This is one room that we would recommend without any hesitation!
