Welcome to Cowley Manor, a bed and breakfast in the UK. It’s a historical location that even contains the very room where Lewis Carrol wrote his masterpiece, Alice in Wonderland. You’ve had a long day touring the city and finally make it to your room at the inn. You sink into your bed and have very strange and colorful dreams . . . at least you think you’re dreaming, but you don’t remember ever falling asleep. Can you make your way through Alice’s dream before the innkeeper wakes you?

I struggled to come up with a rating for this room. I was between a 👎🏼 and a 👍🏼. If this room was brand new, I could see it being worthy of a ❤️, but it is pretty worn down at this point, which detracted from the experience. Pros: - Superb theming, I loved the set designs. - Some tricky puzzles that are non-obvious. Some unique game mechanics I hadn’t seen before. Cons: - Room is very worn out. Several decorations with visible damage. ☹️ - Many times when you trigger a door to open or something to happen, you can’t tell that it did. The GM was good about trying to let us know whenever this happened, but there was one time when we wasted several minutes trying to solve something we had already solved and we just hadn’t noticed that it triggered and the GM didn’t tell us either. So that was super frustrating. I have never felt so frustrated during a room and I think that was largely because of not knowing when we had solved puzzles or not, so if that could be fixed, it would help. Halfway through I noticed that I think they were playing a sound whenever we solved a puzzle, but I think they need to make that louder and a more obvious “puzzle solved” sort of sound to help let you know to look for something that was unlocked.

Lots of unique and challenging puzzles I haven’t seen before.

Fine. Largely expects you to just fill in what you know of Alice in Wonderland already.

Set decorations are very warm and occasionally broken chunks are missing or some pieces are broken. Most of the time when you solve a puzzle, you can’t tell what it triggers and you’re not even sure that you did it. We wasted lots of time because of this, which is always disappointing.

Not my favorite in recent times. This was very similar to a room in Houston but I enjoyed that one more. The puzzles in this room did not flow as well as we’d like.

Excellent rendition of this room. We've played a very similar purchased build that wasn't nearly as good. This version was unique and very well executed. Loved it all the way.

The game itself was actually fairly decent but we played as a 7 which I would never recommend for this experience. However that aside there were some nice puzzle designs and lovely set.
Gameplay
Nice game play. We played with waaaay too many people, I think this room would be much better as a 2 or 3!
Atmosphere
They had put a lot of effort into the set design and immersion.
Customer service
Staff were kinda dismissive.

Very cute and nicely themed escape room. Enjoyed the whole room. There were some things that didn't obviously pop open when solved, but the game master would helpfully let us know in case that were to happen. Not many number locks which was awesome! Overall great experience.

The theming is one of the better ones we have seen. Every room was about Alice. Downside is that the rooms have definitely seen use so there was a dullness to them.
