Easy to see why this room gets so many good reviews! The thought and attention to detail that has gone into Escape From Oz is unbelievable. Definitely one of my favourite rooms. Shout out to Chris the GM who was very happy to chat with us about the work involved on this and other rooms at Enigma Pontefract. We will definitely be back!

This is a lovely room from start to finish. Theming is absolutely spot on with some really fun puzzles and a proper trip to Oz. Some really clever elements to this game and a lot to do for two relatively experienced players meant we were close to the wire timewise. 

Great hosting from Chris who pointed us in the right direction without being obvious when we were floundering and made us laugh a lot!

This really is a room worth savouring and is worth the trip!
