All right, scouts! Are you ready for your big adventure in the woods? Don’t mind the rumours about the forest being haunted by spirits, we’re pretty sure it’s all nonsense and poor old Sam will find their way back one day soon. After all, time can pass very quickly in there; morning to noon to evening to night and before you realise, it’s morning again! Stay safe in the woods, scouts – it’s everyone’s responsibility!

A stand out of Next Level Escape is their game master involvement. The narration throughout the game and explanation of the story line is like no other escape room company we have experienced. The attention to detail in this room and production value was beautiful. Personally I prefer rooms that have multiple rooms and surprises which was the only thing lacking from Forest of Echoes, however I am aware this may just be a personal preference! Sometimes I did find the recordings and narrations to be a little drawn out where I just wanted to get on with the game however I am used to more traditional escape rooms.

All of the games at next level live up to the name; however, this was one of my top 3 favorites along with The Game and The Show Must Go On. You can't go wrong with any of their experiences, but they have something very special happening with the narrative and immersive aspect. I actually played this game solo, but because your GM, while not physically in the room with you, is an actor in the game, I felt like I was there with a cool friend the whole time. This game was inventive and fanciful. If you love a beautiful set, this is the game for you. The puzzles were beautifully integrated, clever, and kept me so busy. I would recommend a team of 2 - 4 for this game.
They are the best!

An incredible room with amazing theming and story. A great room for all ages with excellent and friendly GM that really add to the experience.
All puzzles flowed really well together. Puzzles can be completed in almost any order. It's a really fun room which would be great for families.
Excellent theming and atmosphere.
GM are always friendly and stay in character at all times.

This is very much a story driven room while still containing plenty of puzzles to complete.
The story IS this game. The whole game revolves around the story of the forest. Everything is integrated really well.

Another incredible some from Next Level… the atmosphere, puzzle logic and GM were all, dare I say it, next level! Michaelia was such a fun Games Master and a very immersive and at times humorous storyline. A very wholesome story with a good amount of game play and narrative combined.
Such fun gameplay
Very atmospheric
Michaelia was great!

We were floored by the way Next Level Escape delivered a nonlinear room in ‘Forest of Echoes’. The game experience of choosing your own path with Next Level’s engaging GM interactions took this escape room to a great level. Pixel was a great GM and she took the time to discuss the room and its puzzles afterwards. It was awesome!
A nonlinear room that flowed beautifully — a masterclass in choose-your-own-path escape gaming.
Atmosphere was epic.
GM interaction was 10/10, an industry bar setter for Australia.

The way each puzzle pathway was completed and the GM experience made the room a memorable one.

This game was gorgeous! It is close to personally my perfect game ❤️ An excellent blend between theatre, story and puzzles. If you like more story driven games, this one is for you. Play this for the story, and just enjoy the journey.

Kinda easy kinda boring. Mostly story based. Was a section where we listened to talking for like 5 mins Puzzles were not hard, had to "help" 6 people and their stories We did most of them in tandem so was kinda boring you only got to experience half the room, so might have been better with a smaller group But good none the less
Not scary
