While playing as Alice, the player goes on a journey solving puzzles in order to find the way back home from Wonderland.

[6] ACE gave the IBM PC version a score of 910 out of 1000, praising the puzzles, interface (if used with a mouse) and the graphics, with the lack of sound being a negative point.

[5] Keith Campbell of CU Amiga called it "an outstanding game that is a pleasure to play, extremely entertaining, and with widespread appeal to gamesters from nine years of age to ninety.

[7] In PC Magazine, Cristina Córdova wrote that "Wonderland brings the best of text-based and graphics-based games to Alice and her adventures."

[8] Strategy Plus's Theo Clark noted Wonderland had received significant hype prior to release, and believed the game lived up to these expectations.

Editor-in-Chief Brian Walker wrote, "Witty, charming, and of course, with a wonderful storyline, it proved that the text adventure is not dead after all."
