Forest of Echoes

Absolutely loved this game. So much fun and a really unique room. Enjoyed the way the puzzles played around the central mechanic. I love when a room has a game master that plays a part and really heightens the experience, the hilarious one liners and comments made it all the more fun! Thank you for having us!!!!

A great room with a huge focus on the story. Less GM interaction/narration with this one compared to some other rooms from Next Level as it focused more on the story of the room itself Loved how we had control of what puzzles to work on and the puzzles were really fun. Mikayla was our GM for this one. Gave us some clues when we were stuck, just enough to give us a nudge in the right direction and letting us figure it out ourselves.

GM was soo good and funny. The room was amazingly done

The rooms at Next Level themselves are interesting and fun, but the interaction with the GM as a character makes the experience leaps and bounds more immersive. Huge shout out to Nikki

THE VOICES,THE SPIRITS, GAH! Forest of Echoes is a truly fantastic room complete with interesting, varied puzzles, an in-depth multilinear story and gorgeous set design, it honestly deserves every bit of praise that comes its way. While thematically, there's something for everyone at Next Level, I'd say objectively this is their strongest, most complete offering. Tasked with following the stories of 6 unique spirits I found that even in a larger group there was so much to discover with props galore, hidden alcoves and even a bin chicken, I was having a really good time piecing it all together. I'd say where this room shines the most is its storytelling, every piece of the puzzle had purpose and meaning behind it backed by some impressive performances from the staff, it's hard not to be charmed by the whole experience. If you're only in the market for 1 experience here, this would have to be my pick, amazing room. Also shout out to Rosie our GM and scout guide and benevolent voice in my head, she really made the whole thing fun and light-hearted. Heck yeah.

I hear the whispers all around (they don't like Michael). After a brief break in nature we returned to Next Level only for our Scout Master to trek us out into the forest and disappear, leaving us to converse with the sky. Thankfully this is a pretty standard Friday errand so we were up for the challenge. Holy multi-linearity, there was a heap to do in this room and most of it was available all at once. The time dial is a really awesome game function and allowed for what is essentially a one room experience feel far larger and more engaging. The story flowed nicely but did feel like after missing out on certain solves I was missing some components to try and move forward, ugh teamwork. All the elements of this room were however super lovingly thought out and charming. One of my favourites at Next Level and dare I say a must play. Our GM Rosie was awesome, completing not one but two spins in the name of scout's honour. Sick. Oh and they gave us a real gauntlet. Double sick.

Loved this room. GM was excellent and really elevated our experience . Puzzles were fun and non-linear.

Really great room, loved the story! One of the few rooms we've done that I would recommend doing with more than two people. It's very non linear, and with a lot going on its easy to lose some of the smaller details.

An excellent room with great atmosphere, a wonderful interactive experience thanks to the GM voice acting the story, and great puzzles. There are a few hiccups in my opinion, but it was still great fun throughout.
