this room was so fun. the skill level was gaggy. the puzzles were gaggy. the non linear was gaggy. all in all GAG IT

The room was the right level of challenge for a large all-ages group. Perhaps a little too heavy on the vocal narrative elements. Aaron did a great job hosting us. Decor could have been a little more developed - even just a few more books. ‘Twas fun. Completed core components in 20min. Took the optional parts a bit more leisurely.

A must try for all the puzzle fans out there! I did this room as a 2 people group and there is a lot to do. There are tons of puzzles which are non-linear and you have to solve them in 3 different rooms (corresponding to 3 different movie themes) simultaneously. All the puzzles are very smart and logical, but they may be a bit messy especially with larger groups. They also have bonus puzzles where you can solve after the main quest, this is a plus from my end cuz I like to solve puzzles. They also didn’t feel too unconnected with the main quest. Puzzles suit the movie themes a lot, but unfortunately didn’t have too much connection with the story. The story is not super in depth as the room put more focus on puzzle solving. The set is nothing spectacular and thus the immersiveness. However, I love the GM as our narrator giving us guidance and a hilarious atmosphere! Definitely try out this room if you love puzzle solving, they are very well thought out. But if you are looking for something more story-based immersive experience, this may not be the best room for you.

This was our trio’s first experience at Next Level and it was sensational. Kent was our GM and I would 100% recommend requesting him- he played the role of the narrator masterfully and really matched our group’s silliness/nerdiness and dynamic. The gameplay was phenomenal and the rooms were STUNNING. A masterpiece from start to finish.

I love this room!!! First of all, I am a book nerd so to see all these different books being referenced in the room was amazing! The puzzles themselves made sense and were very much on theme. It’s not like this room’s puzzles does anything particularly different, but the way they are presented and done is so charming, I can’t help but just rave about it. I love the narration as well. I was so happy when I finished. I just love everything about this room; the set, theme, the puzzles, everything! Definitely one of my top rooms I’ve played!

Did it with 19 colleagues over a long lunch break. Had a great time! Split into 2 identical rooms and did them simultaneously, which was great for the competitive among us.

This is a really fun escape room. While the room is an older room, the puzzles were unique, fun, and challenging. I especially liked that the room was mainly non-linear. We completed it as an experienced group of 2, including both optional challenges. Our GM, Stuart, was also incredible. Would definitely recommend while in Sydney!

What a fantastic array or puzzles. Unique game play being non linear. Had a great time with the separate rooms

Amazing room and great diverse puzzles. Loved our GM who provided half the fun!! Highly recommended!!! One of the best we've done as a team of 2.

Completed this room with 2 people. Love love love this room! It has one main escape with 2 optional puzzles, so no matter how many people you go with there’s definitely enough to do. It’s a longer escape room (70 mins), so once you do the main escape you have the rest of the time to try and solve the 2 optional puzzles. As we only had two people we were only able to complete one of the optional ones, but the GM Nicki was nice enough to lead us through the other optional puzzle and try bits and pieces of it so we could at least see how it worked. I loved the theme of this room and the fact that it has multiple themes. This was also my first room at Next Level and I really enjoyed the narration (that all the rooms have) - the GM was with us as the narrator every step of the way, and made it such a hilarious and unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!!
