Mark as done to rate
Looks like we’ve got another mystery on our hands! A beloved pizza delivery boy’s gone missing, and no matter how you slice it, this is one for the professionals. That means you. Someone kneads to go undercover and now it’s up to you: dig in to the boy’s last route and deliver the truth, before another one bites the crust. This case is a real pizza work, and you never sausage a mystery. You’ll start outside our detective headquarters also known as Improbable Escapes HQ, located in downtown Kingston before setting out on your investigation.

If you haven’t done an outdoor escape room definitely give one of them a try at Improbable Escapes. They are a fun change of pace to a traditional room and walking around Kingston is gorgeous. If you have done one, I think this is pretty well par for the course of what to expect. Well done as all Improbable Escapes stuff is, but It’s hard to beat their indoor rooms when compared.
Gameplay
The fun comes from wandering around Kingston and using the infrastructure around the streets to solve the puzzles. There is no firm time limit or “escaping”, but rather at 10ish stations around Kingston you solve puzzles that help you solve the mystery (so “escaping” is correctly solving the mystery).
Atmosphere
Hard to evaluate as you are given a prop backpack and a map and you wander Kingston downtown. So it’s fine. But by design you can’t have too much “immersive-ness”. Kingston is gorgeous though to walk through
Customer service
Usually they are super great there but the person we had was pretty laissez-faire about everything. Pleasant enough but wasn’t as engaging as other hosts we’ve had
Particularly interesting or different
No
Average outdoor escape room (which if you haven’t done one before, it would be interesting/different!)
Story
I got the story, and puzzles helped you solve the mystery, but what we were doing to solve the puzzles were not connected to the story
Difficulty
Easy
Nothing difficult. Lots of looking around your surrounding puzzles
Game tech
Mechanical
You are given a pack of tools and map to solve your puzzles. Lots of trinkets you have to physically manipulate
Ideal number of players
3
Any more than 4 and some would have nothing to do
Scary
Not scary
Was anything broken?
Yes
Some of the trinkets given were very difficult to manipulate/turn the dials on. One address was wrong on the map versus the answer sheet. We talked to the GM about that
