Based on Lewis Carroll's classic tale, players will step into Wonderland where the Mad Hatter has been accused of stealing the Queen's Tarts.
Teams of two to six players must race against the clock and find the tarts in just 60 minutes or it is off with the Hatter's head.
The new leisure attraction will have a bar where teams can toast to success, or drown their sorrows if they didn't make it out in time, and it is set to open early March.
