Mark as done to rate

You are the last descendants of The Professor, an eccentric inventor that people knew very little about. He passed away recently and you’ve inherited his estate, including the large, gloomy mansion. As you explore your new mansion, you come across what appears to be a laboratory! It seems he was building something quite interesting and you find a note begging you to continue his work. The Professor has trapped you in the mansion until you do!

This was our first time exploring outside of Calgary for a locked room. Retro Oasis is a charming little space full of locked rooms and arcade machines. We found the Professor’s Curious Contraption to be a fun, linear room with an abundance of mechanical locks, a neat story and some fun tech that really added to the storyline. We did need a couple of hints, and the GM was very helpful. There was a lot of ambient noise from the arcade which did pull us out of the immersion a bit. We can’t wait to come back and do more rooms.

Super fun escape room in a family run retro arcade. Intuitive and logical puzzles, great decor and nice level of difficulty. It seems they can also set the room to an easier difficulty level for kids which is a very cool idea. Helpful and friendly staff make this a must do!
