The Steampunk Express

This room was DIFFICULT. But man was the set design pretty and genuinely one of the best rooms I've ever been to. There were a few puzzles that were a tad longer than necessary I felt like (a few too many memory games) - and I feel like it's definitely not doable with 2-3 people as it's very involved and there are a lot of puzzles but still one of the most memorable escape rooms I have ever done. The ending was very heat racing. I think our group of 6 used no hints and finished with 13 seconds left 😂

Said to be the hardest room in Toronto and it didn't disappoint! Excellent set, lots of great puzzles, and solid flow with some elements of linearity and multi-linearity. Unfortunately for us, we chose to play it when the air conditioning was down (we were given the chance to cancel but went ahead with it anyway), and it was just absolutely brutal. The four of us still finished with 10 minutes to spare but did need a clue and a manual bypass (the puzzle had a slight technical fault but it was mainly because we were drenched in sweat and too hot and frustrated to bother figuring it out ourselves). Even with these conditions we still enjoyed the room and would recommend it to any team that enjoys a challenge!

That room was amazing!! Excellent immersion/atmosphere. Challenging with tons of puzzles, lots of technology which all seemed to be working well. Different variety of puzzle types with varying degrees of multi-steps. Loved it!

We took two extra minutes but we got out! The room is high production value and has a variety of puzzles. We enjoyed it overall with our group of 8. The narrative was cohesive and generally the puzzles made sense with the story.

Just wanted to say this room is HARD like you’re gonna need more than four people. As soon as you open up the second room it’s like all hands on deck, 4 didn’t feel like enough. We had to ask for a bunch of hints even though we are extremely experienced but WOW was it satisfying to solve one without a hint cause yall holy moly was this room difficult. I generally don’t like mechanical rooms but at least appreciated the milieu as well as a fun thing you get to do at the end

Very fun mechanics and many interesting and different puzzles to solve. Uses the theme well.

Even if you have played over 80 escape rooms, I guarantee you this will still have something new for you to discover. Our group is very experienced and we still would’ve needed an extra 5 mins to complete the game. The game master allowed us to keep playing to experience the entire narrative and puzzles which was a huge plus! We were the last group of the night and he knew how close we were to the end. I would not recommend this room to first time players because the puzzles will be too challenging and it will set the standard too high for future rooms when it comes to production value. Not all rooms are created equal. Save this room for escape enthusiasts who think they’ve seen and played it all.

Really fun experience with some cinematic set design. It worked so well as a game for enthusiasts. Our group had enough to do and it was challenging enough that we were stumped at some points. The game took us down to the wire but we had a great time!

One of the hardest rooms I've done! And successful! The puzzles are unique and immersive. It feels non-linear (some back and forth). The best thing there are multiple puzzles to be done - no one is left waiting and watching. I do strongly recommend having the max (6 people). In the end, it does depend on the team you have and how well the team communicates.

Favourite room at this location and probably favourite room in the Toronto-ish area? Difficult (but fair) puzzles, non-linear, lots to do, beautiful set, a few surprises, we had a great time from start to finish!
