Yukon Gold

High quality escape room that we’d definitely recommend! We liked it so much we’re going back for a second room tonight. There were a couple aspects of the game running that weren’t our favorites (clues are a bit too heavy handed), but the room and puzzles were a blast!

This room is built well and has some good puzzles. A couple puzzles in the first room require significant precision, one particularly with placement. We had it correct for probably 5 minutes but because two bottom pieces line up differently than the rest without reason, it wouldn’t trigger the mechanism. For this kind of stuff it would be better as a 1 hour room. This room uses darkness AND background noise as a purposeful component to make the second half more difficult. IMO if you have to use darkness (and now sound) as part of the difficulty, then you don’t have enough confidence in your puzzles. This room is challenging enough without the darkness and sound. Lastly, this facility requires you lock up all your belongings, including smartwatches-one of the only places I’ve been to that does that anymore. It also uses walkie talkies for your clues. The walkie talkies are VERY difficult to understand (again, especially with the extra sound difficulty component) and ours somehow got turned off or died during the game so instead of bringing us another or fixing the one we had, they just let us struggle and then said “we were trying to reach you but couldn’t”. This room could be amazing but has a few design flaws/kinks holding it back.

This could be a great room. If the hide and seek elements were replaced with a narrative stringing the clues together that would be a great start. There were features of the game that were really special, but it’s definitely missing the coherent flow of other escape rooms.

One of the most creative and best designed escape rooms we’ve ever done! Some of the puzzles are quite challenging and you do have to think outside of the box. We didn’t escape in the 45 minutes but they kindly gave us a few extra minutes to finish the puzzles with some help.

Such an innovative, high-tech experience for an old-timey, saloon/gold mine theme! Super immersive. Challenging puzzles. Awesome physical twists. I didn’t expect Whistler to have such amazing escape rooms, but boy was I pleasantly surprised.

This is a fun room with excellent theming. There are couple of puzzles which require a degree of physical ability. All escape rooms in this complex are 45 mins, because of this, we had to rush the puzzles and requested clues sooner than we otherwise would. Although we completed four rooms here all with around 2-8 mins to spare. In our experience, we felt that they should be 60 minutes because of the volume of puzzles and dexterity of some.
