Wonderland A Magical Adventure - Berjaya Times Square

Wonderland - Simple with an Unexpected Twist!

Since it was the Professor's birthday, we were told that she gets a free game and as we were very unsatisfied thanks to the Vampire room, we decided to try another room. The only room available was the Wonderland room. Initially we thought that the room will be a bit childish but we were assure that the room is challenging enough for adults. Since I got to play the part of Jack Sparrow, the Professor got to relive her childhood playing Alice. Not literally... But y'all get the drift right?

I decided to the blog this entire chronicle from the third person. So Alice (Professor) and Mad Hatter (Captain) decided to try this room land after all. Apparently they were transported to an alternative land after eating a suspicious brownie :) 

This room land had a few doors to be solved to get out.

They did not find any rabbits or evil queen but they did find the first puzzle to be rather straight forward. Upon solving that they came across a puzzle that did puzzle them. They were so lost that they needed the help of the secret elves of that land.

The land was designed well and it did feel as if that we.. I mean that felt as if they were really stuck in wonderland. The wow factor of this land was at the end where a magnetic sensor was used to unlock the final door. They had to play a life size version of a famous board game and they needed to solve the puzzle to get the correct position of the magnetic sensor. The funny part was they didn't realize that the final door was triggered open and they kept trying to solve it. Finally, Alice tried to feel the final door and she realized that the door has been open for at least 15 minutes. So, both Alice and the Mad Hatter skipped away back to reality with a total time of 37 minutes. 

The room was interesting and the final wow factor pushed the room from below average to above average. The room was well decorated and brightly lit as if one was actually in a Wonderland. However, we.. I mean they felt as if that the room is much more suitable for teens and pre teens. Adults might be bored.. unless they found that suspicious brownie :)  Upon coming back to reality, they unveiled the scorecard.

The final wow factor was the main highlight of the room but we felt that the room was a bit too kiddish for us. Nevertheless... Happy Birthday Alice... I mean Professor...:) Stay tuned for the next Chronicle....

The Vampire Chronicles - Berjaya Times Square

The Vampire Chronicles - Taxing & Adventurous 

Professor Sherlock's birthday was around the corner and I decided to take her to Times Square to continue our escape chronicles. We asked the staff to suggest the best 4 star rooms and they suggested the Vampire room. As usual they cautioned us since its was just the two of us ad they added that this particular room has the most amount of locks in the whole Escape Room franchise. That challenge was too mouthwatering to pass up. Challenge Accepted!!!

The staff basically told us that we were stuck in the house of the vampire and he was going to come home in 45 minutes. We hated the back story and the staff was rather annoyed when we asked him for the clarification on the story. Oh well, we decided to make our own story and the clock started to tick. The room had like 100 locks. Ok ok... That is an over statement but they were not kidding about the number of locks. 

The room had riddles and logic puzzles that had to be solved for the lock combinations. So, for those who like these sort of puzzles, this may be the room for you. There is a secret pathway in this room which will trigger the inner child in you. Trust me.... You will enjoy the ride!

We felt that there wasn't any flow to the story and the puzzle didn't link between each other. Some of the puzzles had no link to the vampire and that really turned us off. The decor of the room was decent and the props were appropriate... But it still lacked the wow factor. The silver lining had to be the final section where they had a mechanical-electronic contraption as opposed to the over used combination locks. This section of the room requires one of you to be musical and thank god the Professor is extremely musical. I have no musical bone and we would have spent the entire eternity as the slaves to the vampire if it was up to me to solve this section of the room. Considering we had to unlock a zillion locks, we were happy with our time of 41 minutes. 

Check out the score card...
