BID, BARTER, BRIBE AND BLACKMAIL IN A LIVE INTERACTIVE Wonderland experience
Take on bizarre challenges in a new type of adventure that combines immersive theatre, escape rooms, and murder mystery, with a hilariously bonkers storyline.
Teams receive their free welcoming tipple at the Ninth Life pub bar, before receiving Wonderhunter packs from the White Rabbit who will escort you upstairs.
★★★★★ "I loved the characters, hunting, blackmailing... it was WOW! One of the best and funniest immersive hunting experiences I've done."
Joanne Mortlock - Love Popups London
A COMICAL TWIST ON LEWIS CARROLL’S CLASSIC TALE
The Baron will welcome you to New Wonderland, boasting jobs and opportunity for all with precious ‘golds’. However, Russell the smoking caterpillar, has locked up everyone’s golds, and himself! You'll be enlisted as a 'Wonderhunter', paid in golds to pursue Russell's clues.
★★★★★ "Brought out a competitive, ambitious, and corrupt streak I never knew I had! Not to be missed, you will never look at yourself the same way again!"
Karima Setohy - Wonderland Festival
LIVE INTERACTIVE TEAM PLAY
You'll receive missions to interrogate characters and each other with multiple opportunities to trade, gamble and win golds.
The story is guided by the players and one of many endings will be decided by your team's decisions.
You'll come across characters such as Beadle Dum, who’s marbles were lost at a particularly mad Mad Hatter's party, Poppy Stamp, the bashful beauty with no tongue, and Tumeric Gin, the alchemist who lost her beloved dodo.
Will you discover Beadle's lost marbles?
Poppy's tongue?
Tumeric's yearning for true happiness?
Or simply serve the Baron's New Wonderland wealth?
Whichever path you choose, watch out for the dreaded Serpent! Anything can happen in this new gaming format, and often does.
★★★★★ “Such a unique experience. Reminded me of the choose your own adventure computer games I used to play but REAL! Was so much fun and had a great time completing the various quests, even though I didn't win the beauty contest! LOL.”
