We all know the story of the Chocolate Factory and its five lucky winners, but did you ever wonder what came next? It’s been 25 years since the chocolate factory had to close its doors due to the mysterious disappearance of four of the five attendees. But today something has changed, smoke billows out from the factory once again, and the amazing chocolate maker has announced a special 1-hour press conference to explain what is going on. Although excitement is in the air once again, some Candy Shop Owners aren’t quite as happy! You and your crew have been invited by the mysterious Franklin Von’Schweets to do some investigating of your own. Schweets, like many other shop owners are reverting to their old tactics of stealing candy to duplicate recipes! You have one hour to collect the Wonka bars and any other Wonka candy you cand find, once you have done so, escape through the great glass elevator before the press conference is over and the chocolatier returns.

7/10 experience, also the 3/5 difficulty listed online is merely a suggestion according to our Game Master. After having seen the new movie and the other one’s I thought this would be a great birthday activity. Don’t get me wrong, it was fun, but the entire experience as a whole was kinda lacking. The wallpaper in the first room was starting to peel and was really cramped in there. The puzzles were ok at best and the different rooms were themed but overall the theming possibly could have been improved. The room will be easier if you’ve seen all the movies.

It was ok. Not the most fun.

Atmosphere

Wallpaper was peeling off the wall in the first room and some of the set pieces didn’t feel very high quality.

Treated well.

Definitely on theme, but space is small for 4, and a lot of things we go stuck on because the we were warned a lot about breaking things and were resistant to try to open things that didn't look like they opened. It was also really hard to see some clues due to lighting and clarity. I think this room needs some maintenance and staff seems overwhelmed with just one person working.

Meh. It was ok at best I honestly didn’t like it. It was too easy and didn’t have much thought out.

Great first room but after that things fell apart. Decor needed updating. - returned after the room has been updated. Better. Kids enjoyed. Not my favorite

Did not enjoy this room very much - there were very few puzzles overall and the room just didn't flow altogether. Each stage seemed to be somewhat confusing. There's a great premise, and good start to each room. I think with some additional care and effort this room could be great!

One of the better kid themed rooms. The props were awesome for the kids to play with but also understand. It stayed with the story line of the movie.

Enjoyed the theme of this room. Thought the first room was really nice designed. This would be good for kids.

A little underwhelming. Lots of cool, eye catching decor, but hard to overlook the random holes in the wall, the exposed wires, and the unstable hinges that made the room feel cheap and rushed. Puzzles were cute, but very linear and didn’t allow for more than 1-2 players to work on at once. Room size is tight for more than 4 players. Game master didn’t seem to be paying attention and was very hard to hear when receiving clues. Love the theme they were going for, but it just didn’t live up to expectation based on previous visits.

Generally friendly but didn’t seem to be paying attention to our game. Kept asking “what do you want help with?” instead of pointing us in the right direction. Read the rules and story straight off a piece of paper in the middle of the hallway, lacking in immersion and ability to hear. In previous visits, the rules and room story were always played on a monitor in a separate room.

My wife and I absolutely loved this room. You can definitely tell it was made with care. There’s one particular moment that actually made me go WOW. We love going to this business for escape rooms and are always excited when new rooms come out from them.
