Dreamland Traveller started out much like many other Chinese escape game companies, acquiring licensed versions of established games such as The Paper Spirit’s Return, Filthy, The Girl in Red and The Witching Hour. But rather than simply reproducing the original experiences, they became known for significantly upgrading them – redesigning […]

Every great escape room trip also needs a critic, someone who is not completely enthusiastic about everything they see. Escape games is an established term in Finland,which is used as much as the word escape room. I am used to the fact that it is a game, not just an […]
