There are a lot of Alice in Wonderland rooms out there but I think this must be one of the most beautiful I've played.
Very similar to Smuggler's Secret in that the difficulty level can be lowered for families and I can imagine kids getting a major buzz out of this one. We did enjoy it hugely and were pleased to get through it without needing any hints. It is a linear game but it didn't seem to drag in a way as some linear games do as you did need more than one person to do the majority of the puzzles.
The hosting (for both this and Smuggler's which I realise I didn't comment upon) is top rate. Always love it when the Pier Pressure characters can do a bit of improv in their introductions to the bonkers things we can think of to say.
Accessibility - it is on the the ground floor but at least one person will need to be able to some sort of climbing in the room.
I was just gutted that the tea party wasn't edible...

The set design was incredible - best of the various alive rooms we've done. The gameplay was quite good and original - the puzzles felt like they were almost all quite unique and different to what you'd expect although quite a lot of observation and pattern based puzzles. I don't know why but it didn't feel quite as fun a room as it should have done - but I do wonder whether that was just because it was last on a long day of doing rooms for us.

One of Pier Pressures’ newest games. The theming was good, some different puzzles and a lot of team work encouraged. The GM was fun and kept wonderfully in character. The set and lead up was a little under developed given it is a relatively new. Fun room for family fun.
