Down a nondescript corridor, past the old library and beyond the general store, you will find Madam Zita’s curiosities – a burial ground for her collection of wicked artifacts that time has long but forgotten. However, this seemingly ordinary bazaar holds a dark secret, one buried and covered up only to be discovered by the most cunning of individuals. Whispers of evil, maniacal treachery and occult idols await. Step back in time to the roaring 80s where you will discover the secret behind the Curse of Madam Zita’s Curiosities.

Great room with fun puzzles and integration of the set into the puzzles. Really tight to try to get out in 45 minutes. Don't hesitate to ask for hints if you're stuck. Not a scary room at all, despite what the doll in the thumbnail may lead you to believe.

Thumbnail looks creepy but the room itself is not. It is not a room filled with dolls.

Not very active but you might be quickly going back and forth around the room because of time urgency

There are quite a few puzzles to solve, but we managed to get out with 2 people. 45min is tight but still manageable. The difficulty of the puzzles are relatively on the easier side. There is one puzzle that requires a level of English vocab (both me and my husband are not native speakers so actually struggled a bit because we don’t know the word lol). If you are native English speaker you will be fine😂. One feedback to the owner is that we would recommend to give more guidance on which door/drawer was opened when we solve a puzzle. There are a couple times when we solved the puzzle without noticing a drawer was opened, and was stuck for a couple min without progressing until we noticed the drawer was actually opened:(

Super fun with great puzzles! Just wish it was a little bit longer; another 5-10 minutes and we definitely would have escaped!

The atmosphere was really cool, but there were too many puzzles to solve with the time given. We were a team of 5 and we moved through everything quite quickly only getting caught for a few minutes too long here and there. Overall I don’t know how we could have played faster, so it was a bit frustrating with that. Overall it was super fun and we all had a great time. The GM walked us through what would have happened has we gotten out which was nice so you don’t feel like you missed out. (We were about two puzzles to the end!!)

It was hard because it feels like the amount of puzzle they had should god with a 60 minute room, not 45.

Overall this is one of the better rooms in Vancouver. The decor and set design were exciting and fun. That being said I’m opposed to 45 min rooms. People are paying a chunk of money for an experience, and 45 min falls short, especially if the room is a 1 hr room in terms of difficulty. You’re setting paying customers up for failure.
Gameplay
The flow was pretty good… I’ve seen far better rooms, but definitely I’ve seen worse too
Atmosphere
There were a lot of cool things about the set design of the room but there were also aspects that felt somewhat “thrift store” too… some pieces of furniture etc, but overall when we walked in, it was exciting to see all the cool elements
Customer service
The GM was very friendly albeit stressed about getting a large group of 10 out ahead of us, and he asked us to wait outside until they were through. It was fine though and the GM handled things well. He was not in character, just friendly.

I think this is a 1 hr room that only gives you 45 min. One of the puzzles had the potential to be extremely time consuming if we didn’t have someone in our team who was able to solve it with lightening speed

I have a mobility disability and there was a lot of walking/distance getting to the location. Once in the room though, it seems wheelchair friendly.
Accessibility
If you’re in a wheelchair I think it’s accessible. I use a cane and it was very difficult for me to get to

It was in a mall but we didn’t know that so we had to find parking, got a little turned around but finally found it

Loved this room, was the perfect amount of time and everything was so detailed! The staff was friendly and helpful, definitely would go again.

Escape rooms are already expensive as is, so it’s frustrating when a company only gives 45 minutes. Cannot recommend for this reason alone.
