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!

Never had narration before! But it fits the theme so well, like we’re protagonists in a story!

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!

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!!

There was a main quest, and two additional, optional quests to complete if time permitted. A live GM narrated and interacted. - we completed all three quests, and it was awesome! Went as a group of two, so really got to appreciate all the puzzles.
Atmosphere
Really great design, immersive.
Customer service
Genuinely next level! We want to request the same GM for the next rooms we do, they were really incredible. Their interactions really added to the experience of the room.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
It was probably particularly interesting for me as I’d never done a room with an interactive GM who was part of the show prior to rooms at Next Level.

We had such a great time! GM Aaron really made the whole experience fun, and we thoroughly enjoyed the puns and perfectly timed sound effects. Visited with a group of 4 and had no trouble escaping (including the 2 bonus puzzles), with plenty of time to spare.
