The Artefact

Two of us went to this lab Met robot with gift of gab Lots of mechanical tricks Not just locks with keys to pick Jax was great, a real class act We dance right through The Artefact!

Did this room with my partner, overall it was a fun room with minimal padlocks, mostly mechanism based.

Great escape room! Tech was great, some novel ideas as well. Our game master was awesome, responsive, and witty in guiding us and it didn’t take away from the immersion of the room at all!

Aaron was great! Hal was better.

This is a great room that makes great use of gamemaster/player interactions. The puzzles in this room are great, allowing you to deduce information with all props in the room. There is a large variety of puzzles with comedic elements in the room as well which add to the enjoyment of the room. The puzzles flow great as well since you know what answer is for which lock as well and some require out of the box thinking as well. Though the puzzles did feel a bit too easy since this is advertised as their most difficult room, we had 35 minutes remaining when finished. This room shines because the interaction with gamemaster who roleplays as the AI in the room. They are always watching and will make small comments when players do things in the room. Your enjoyment of the room will be exponentially better if you attempt to interact with the gamemaster in the room. The set is also great and feels like a secret lab and digsite. Definitely one of the favourites at Next Level!

Highly recommend. It was hilarious and intuitive, flowed really well. The staff were incredible

The game master was fantastic, we had a great laugh along the way. Can’t recommend this room enough, it flowed really well!

This has been my absolute favourite escape room. GM was phenomenal, we had so much fun.

I want to preface this review by saying Meaghan is amazing and she really puts her heart and SOUL into helping you move through the game, she is so funny and one of the only reasons we enjoyed the game. The escape room itself is alright not really our cup of tea. The puzzles are very wordy. A lot of reading in this room which gets annoying when you’re on a time limit. It makes you want to stop playing with how much constant reading you have to do. The puzzle with the alien language we just couldn’t understand at all even after Meaghan explained it we still couldn’t understand it 😬 The rooms are small-medium sized (about 3 of them). Maybe there are better rooms at this location but we picked this one based on the reviews and left feeling meh.

Definitely the funniest most novel room we have done, jam packed with Easter eggs, really fun interactions with the “AI” in the room, set design is quite cool, fun puzzles.
