🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • "Nightmare Lands" is truly a unique experience with a strong backstory to support it. Based on the premise, the storyline is wonderfully unpredictable as anything can happen along the way and the set design really supports the creation of this dream world. Starting off with the simplicity of the doctor's waiting room was perfectly deceiving! The layout of the game was definitely structured to make it feel like we were being pulled deeper into her nightmare.

  • The way that the clues were dispersed within the game made it feel like we're piecing her dream together. As more information revealed, we're able to discover what was really behind this nightmare.

  • What better way to complete the experience than to provide a "wow" ending! We definitely felt rewarded for our heroic effort.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • Due to the dim lighting, it was quite difficult to find some "hidden pieces" throughout the room.

  • Some puzzles lacked clarity in the cluing. We had to use hints to direct us to the right direction.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This game really reminded us of a combination of "Nightmare on Elm Street", "Insidious", and "The Cell". There's a secret force that seems to pull us into the danger ahead even though we know there might be something hidden in the darkness. The special effect in the later part of the game was unexpected but at the same time greatly appreciated. It really showed us what to expect in a nightmare. If you're brave enough to help the Dr., sign up for a session!


Escape-topia provides a complete package when it comes to immersion. Once you walk into the door, you'll be greeted by "Mother" and the concierge. You'll then proceed to check in like you're in a hotel and receive the keys to your room. Every time you enter a room, it'll be as if you've entered into a different realm. Only when you get out of the room will you realize that you're back into reality. If you enjoy immersive theater while solving puzzles, you might want to spend an entire day here! I know "Mother" will love for you to stay.
