A Twist Of Oz

A twist of oz was a lovely room that had so many great small moments sprinkled throughout. It had very homemade and cute decor, and while the puzzles were easy they still felt substantial and fun. Definitely more experience and story oriented than puzzley. If you love Oz or enjoy a cute fun game, Key to Escape is definitely a place to visit!

Room was great, staff was fantastic!

This room is one of my top ones I’ve done in 2025. It’s magic.

So much fun! We loved every minute of our Twist of Oz experience. The room was unique and colorful. We alo loved the soundtrack and the scenery so much that we found ourselves slowing down a little, just to enjoy it longer and even sing along. It is clear the owners put a lot of love and labor into the room and we enjoyed chatting with Roger before and after our game also! Can't wait to see what they come up with next!

I marked like based on game master, owner and building itself. The game and puzzles were a little easy. The props were worn and room needed a little updating. You can tell the owner loves the theme. Best part was little red shoe we got when we left.

This is a fun family room!

Twist of Oz is Key to Escape’s newest room and it really shows with their integration of high tech puzzles- I don’t believe there was a single “regular” lock - a lot of keypads, but also some original tech. I will caveat this review with the statement that I genuinely love the people at Key to Escape and think they are so passionate about what they do, but my husband and I both agreed that their style of game just isn’t for us. That being said, this was a step up from Under Pressure, but implemented many of the same strategies/faults. They definitely pride themselves on being a hard escape game, which I actually don’t believe is because of the puzzles, but because of the lack of flow and jumps in logic. I also think a huge thing in both their rooms has been SEARCHING. I know some people love combing over a room from top to bottom searching, but I prefer my time to be spent working on a guided puzzling experience, not a free for all. It feels like a time suck and takes away from my experience. While we did escape the room with 12 minutes to spare, I think it was solely because we knew what to expect from Under Pressure. When we solved puzzles, neither of us felt satisfaction with them, it was more of that “oh, that worked?” kind of feeling. There were definitely fun moments in this room and the set is adorable- we loved the apples feature and the wiggling feet. And we loved the beginning sequence/story/ room in black and white. Overall, we had a good time but will not be returning to play top shelf elf, which appears to be the “hardest” of the three. I wish I loved these games more, especially since it’s the closest location to our home, but they aren’t for us. I feel like they need a fresh set of eyes to come in and refresh these rooms. But don’t let that stop you from experiencing Oz yourself, see if it suits your style of play!

Great room. Perfect for families. Wonderful effects. Clever puzzles.

We had so much fun at Key to Escape that they had to drag us away. This room involves a good amount of searching (which I love). We had a group of 4 and there was plenty for everyone to do. The soundtrack was fantastic and made customer by Toddrick Hall! There’s excellent immersion in the world of Oz. Everything feels clean and well maintained. Lots of fun puzzles. Go play! This room is one of the least physically demanding rooms I have played which is great for accessibility. There’s one tight corner but this seems like the most wheelchair accessible game I have played in a while. I can’t recall if there is a ramp or any stairs to get into the building.

Absolutely phenomenal. Great production value, immersive, and wonderfully creative puzzles and tech. The staff are top notch. We will be returning to do their other rooms. This is clearly a passion project for the owners, and they put a lot of work into it.
