Best Overall "In-Person Escape Room" Of The Year (2022)

The ad in the classifieds said three-hundred dollars and a free lunch. Enticing enough that you followed the address to a dark alley where you find a few people gathered, presumably for the same reason. The door opens, and as you walk inside Dr. Saunders begins: "Welcome to the experiment. Form alliances, turn on each other, devour the weak, conquer, destroy, but most importantly... have fun. Those who succeed will be selected for exciting future opportunities with Mindmaster Industries." And then it begins. You're just not sure what it is.

This room was really good all around, puzzles made sense, the decor in the room was thematic. I didn't have anything bad to say about this room, and it has some real ah ha moments that made you feel clever. Would recommend.

If the job goes well, you could walk away a very wealthy person.

Escape Hour

Senator's Battle

You've watched the shows: Survivor, Big Brother, Amazing Race; and thought to yourself, "That looks like fun." or "That looks easy; I could do that." Now you can try it yourself. We have created puzzles and challenges reminiscent of the ones seen on your favourite reality shows.     This room is excellent for team building as communication is very important in solving the various challenges. It is also a great option if some of your group prefer physical or dexterity puzzles to mental ones, although there are both in this room. Come and try our one of a kind 5' table maze and solve the 2'x3' puzzle (don't worry the pieces aren't standard size), among other things.    We can't promise you that anyone will be wearing bikinis but we guarantee you won't have to eat anything gross.     The puzzles in this room are of varying degrees of difficulty and is the best option for those with younger kids who want to play too. This room is for 4-8 players but can be modified for up to 10 with advance notice. Colours play a large part in this room. Colour blind people will need more input from their team mates on certain puzzles.

The Contestants

You have travelled to exotic Egypt and have decided to tour the pyramids as part of your experience. Not for you the pyramids at Giza though with their hordes of tourists, you have decided to go to Saqqara and be a real explorer off the beaten track!

Unfortunately tourists must be kept out of the most interesting areas because all you have seen is a bunch of rock. Desperate for adventure you separate from your tour group and slip off down a restricted side passage.

What will be the consequences of your actions? Fame and glory or fear and death?
