📖 THE STORY

It seems like Snow White is under an evil spell and Fairyland had gone to sleep with her! You must use the magic mirror portal, cross over to Fairyland, and help the Seven Dwarfs to revert the spell before it's too late...

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • Some mechanisms that the creator used to "open" or trigger a reveal in this room felt "magical".

  • The set design and props in this room felt like they came straight out of a fairytale storybook. Each room resembled a different "chapter" and they all transformed in their own ways.

  • The ending made us feel very happy and cheerful. I love the music & lighting that went with the finale.


🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • An answer to a puzzle felt too obvious with the nearby clues. Just to avoid players able to guess, we suggest changing it.

  • There was a puzzle that required one of the senses. This could be difficult for people who are sensitive or unable to detect those clues.

  • One of the puzzles needed a bit more information or instruction on how to operate it.

  • It takes a lot of time to type our hints to the GM and wait for them to type back. We feel like this type of cluing takes us out of the immersion that we are in. Hopefully, the clue system could be changed in the future.


🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

I love coming back to this location as I'm a die-hard fan of fairytales (Snow White is one of my favorites). The owner and GM are always dressed in character too. It just makes the experience that much more entertaining. Being a family business, I can't believe everything is made in-house. The creators have a passion for fairytales and you can tell from the details they put into the decors. The puzzles need a little polishing so that they could fit into the storylines more but overall we always have a magical time when visiting Once Upon An Escape!
