I had a wonderful time in the Alice in Puzzleland. The atmosphere was lovely and all the decor and LED made it so lively. Our host, Kaia made it all the more amazing. Kaia explained how the escape room worked super clearly and made it so much easier for our party.

Did a belated Halloween celebration by playing the Alice in Puzzleland escape room and what a great night honestly. Big shout out to Daniel was looking after us for the escape room. He was so warm and friendly from the minute we came in and throughout. Just wanted to give a big thanks to him for helping to make it such a good night :) (This was on 10th November about quarter past 7 ish.)
