Once Upon a Time

The theme and set were cute and interesting but the game play fell short. Some puzzles required big logical leaps. Like all Red Door games, every puzzle involved a lock. GMs change during your game and give generic pre-scripted hints so you often waste 2 hints to get the point. Rated as a 6/10 in terms of difficulty but because the puzzles didn’t make much sense it felt more difficult.

Probably would only be interesting for true newbies

We came here for my daughter's best friend's birthday. Two families with tween-aged kids made it through this room pretty easily. The biggest challenge were the masks during the pandemic! But there was some crawling and sliding. Very family-friendly.

A bunch of the mechanics were broken/not fully functional which hindered us greatly while trying to advance. Our GM provided redundant clues when requested then gave us attitude when we asked about the broken mechanisms saying how we "should've just jiggled it." Awful experience start to finish.

A nicely put together room, but the puzzles make very little sense and far to convoluted with far to many steps. You end up doing things without really knowing why you are doing it. Some puzzles require you to know things about chess that are not explained in the room. A big avoid as this is meant to be the easier room from red door.

Confusing a little. Rooms were put together a little strange. Fun though.

Such a fun theme with plenty of cool props, decorations, and reveals. Definitely search thoroughly. Every time we thought we were stuck we’d do another sweep of the room and find something we missed.

A decent room. I enjoyed it. Cohesive puzzles. Some part of room wasn’t working all that well, but great and attentive GM. I recommend it.

Glitchy and worn down.
