Our Beta Testing Experience
Down the Rabbit Hole
Get ready to tumble straight into Wonderland! The cat needs your help to defeat the Jabberwock! Along the way, you'll bake a cake, celebrate an unbirthday, try a shrinking potion, and prepare for a twisty final challenge.
Atmosphere and Design
The atmosphere was absolutely stunning, a feast for the eyes! As you progress from room to room, the whimsical décor completely immerses you in Wonderland. Interactive doors and clever touches make the space feel truly enchanted, bringing Alice's world to life around you.

Puzzles and Gameplay
The games and puzzles are creative and thematic. Here's what stood out:
- Challenges: A clever mix of puzzle types, difficulty levels, and fun mechanics keeps everyone engaged.
- No Prior Knowledge Needed: While knowing Alice in Wonderland adds to the fun, you don’t need any prior knowledge to solve the puzzles and enjoy the game. The first room gently introduces new players to escape room mechanics, making it welcoming for beginners.
- Teamwork Required: This room is built for collaboration. No one gets left out, and every player has a role to play.
Our Family's Verdict
This is one of Improbable Escapes’ longer rooms, but we managed to escape just in time, and loved every minute of it! While escape room veterans may recognize a few familiar mechanics, the design feels fresh, unique, and exciting.
The bottom line? This has become one of our favourite escape room experiences, and we've enjoyed quite a few over the years!
What Makes This Room Special
Several standout features set Down the Rabbit Hole apart:
- A true shrinking sensation that makes you feel miniaturized
- Interactive doors with alternate options: One small, whimsical door adds to the fun, but there’s an alternate route so every player can participate comfortably.
- Multi-level design, including an upper level with stairs
- A progressive, room-to-room journey that builds the story beautifully
- Incredible attention to detail in the theming, making Wonderland come alive
