Escape Rooms for Kids in Toronto

“I didn’t really know much about this room before playing it…tbh I thought it was all going to take place on an airplane. Turns out, the airplane is just the beginning of the adventure. Volcano Views proved to be a surprising experience, with many unique elements that I haven’t seen in escape rooms elsewhere. It’s family-friendly, but is also engaging enough to entertain our group of three grown adults. The set design doesn’t have the polish of some other top-level GTA rooms (the last 1/4 of the experience def requires some suspension of disbelief), but it more than makes up for it in pure fun and physicality. Even as experienced players, we were surprised multiple times over the course of our journey. Difficulty was generally pretty easy, so I’d recommend a group size of 2-3 experienced enthusiasts. Our GM did a great job and brought an authentic joy to the experience. We had a slight technical hiccup at one point, and she addressed it very promptly. I don’t remember her name, but she was maybe Asian or mixed, tall, with glasses. This woman deserves a raise!”

“Botanical Greenhouse was a very artsy unique room. More art than room, but didn’t let up on the puzzles either! We loved the unique art pieces and couldn’t help but admire all the love and attention in here. You can fell the love poured into this experience. Colorful plants and flowers, fun sidekicks, and clever puzzles with lighting and sound make Botanical Greenhouse a great game. I enjoyed our visit to Daydream and hope to return in the future.”

“Very positive experience! Even as experienced escape gamers we found it to be a lot to do. Probably too hard for its intended kid audience—I don’t think any of the families playing with us finished. For us, we were happily occupied for nearly the full 4 hours. The cast was wonderful and really made it an immersive experience. A couple of the puzzles were duds, but we managed to work around them. A wonderful way to spend most of a day!”

“Rating: 4/5 - Small but whimsical with a beautiful vibe and fun characters and quests Pros: ➕I really enjoy the quest-based gameplay, the lighting and descriptions made it clear what you needed to do next. ➕Set is beautiful and magical with lots of little details. It's colorful with great use of LEDs and effects. ➕Puzzles were fun and satisfying ➕More than a single room game ➕Good use of audio and voice work ➕Mostly tech with some padlocks, lots of tactile interactions ➕Storyline is interesting with fun/cute characters ➕Some parts are a bit dark, but they give you lanterns ➕The lobby and bathroom have a cool vibe too ➕The GM/owner was friendly and nice to chat with Minor nitpicks: ➖Set is kind of small, I was hoping it kept going but it stopped sooner than expencted. ➖It's a bit short and easy for experienced enthusiasts. We played as a team of 2 enthusiasts (paid for 3 tickets) with a lot of time left (at least 20 min) and no hints. I'd recommend 2 players. No crawling or climbing needed. My ranking of the Daydream rooms (all locations) starting with my favorite: 1. Botanica Greenhouse (Brimley) 2. Dream Portal (Danforth)”

“Loved this little gem of a room, largely because of its charming X-Files theme that took me down nostalgia lane. Cheeky atmosphere, fun puzzles, and a family-friendly level of difficulty. We struggled on the very first puzzle for 10 minutes but somehow finished in 27 minutes, so I would recommend experienced players taking their time to enjoy the immersion!”

“Enjoyed the interactive component with a live actor that I knew wouldn't be trying to scare me! We had a great time and thought they did a great job integrating the theme throughout the game. I think ideal group size would be 6 because of there's too many, it gets a little crowded in some spots.”

“Fantastic room at a fantastic company. Room is totally suitable for all ages, families, dates/duos, etc and beginner friendly. Very fun wizarding components to make the room feel alive. Quite challenging bonus puzzle(s) if you finish early. Definitely a crowd pleaser kind of room.”

“Gorgeous Scooby Doo-style room with a beautiful palette, well-made props, and a fun mix of puzzles. A very spacious room with multiple areas and great use of sound and lighting to deliver the story. Though it has a "ghost" theme, it's not scary and is family-friendly. Some of the puzzles did take a beat to trigger, which caused a bit of confusion at times as we weren't sure if we had solved them correctly, but other than that this was a delight to play.”

“Favourite part of this room was how many times I was legitimately surprised by what the room was doing when we solved a puzzle or what we were expected to do for a puzzle. I really enjoyed the puzzle difficulty of this room, definitely harder than pretty much any Omventure I’ve done, yet everything felt very fair (ie the difficulty didnt come from a puzzle with lots of leaps of logic). There are multiple puzzles where reading the right text or symbols is very difficult in this lower light level space or shadows being cast over text. So keep that in mind if you sometimes bring glasses or a young member of your team to rooms =P. Otherwise a fantastic experience!”

“Another room with a lot of attention to details and fun little puzzles. We were able to easily escape by being two players that have done many rooms previously, so it definitely can be done with a smaller group.”

“I was pleasantly surprised with my experience at Perplexity. I played The Elevator almost a decade ago, and the experience was kind of meh, so I never prioritized coming back to this company. I’m so happy I gave Perplexity another chance. I really enjoyed playing Lost and Found! I was going back and forth between giving this room a like vs. a heart, but the heart won out! Was it a perfect room? No! But it had just the right amount of cool moments that makes for a heart-worthy experience in my book! This room had: - A mix of tech & lock and key - A great set! - An interesting, relatively easy to follow storyline - Some cool puzzles Shout out to the staff at Perplexity! Super duper friendly folks! The room minimum is 3, but I played as a duo 👩🏽‍🐰‍👩🏻”

“The puzzle context and storyline is spooky and cute. The puzzles themselves are moderate difficulty, but the outdoor walking at night really creates an immersive vibe. I love how it’s replay able with two separate puzzle paths and having played both I think it’s the right decision to try both. The cast and staff were supremely helpful and skilled - both when we had issues with our booking and also allowing as to join in the improv when we have finished the main paths, creating new content for us on the fly.”

“Very enjoyable game! Good integration of the puzzles with the narrative. Most of the puzzles follow fairly familiar patterns for escape room fans, but there was one with an inventive mechanism I’ve never encountered before. Recommended!”

“The theming and decor is what was my favourite, so this gets a heart just out of pure nostalgia. They’ve nailed the colour scheme and decor. Lots of cute Easter Eggs too for Simpsons fans. The puzzles were fun once we kind of understood the rhythm of the room/what we were supposed to do. Some confusion near the beginning but otherwise flowed well! Space is on the small side so probably don’t go with more than 4 people”

“The room was a lot of fun. It really fit the theme of a zodiac cafe and there were plenty of unique puzzles. Some were very easy and others including the final puzzle were, I wouldn’t say hard but slightly challenging. Overall it was a great beginner room and a great first room for me and my group at escaptopia. ALSO THE DOG IN THE LOBBY MAKES ME WANT COME BACK! HE WAS SUCH A GOOD BOY”

“Overall I really liked what this room was going for, theming was super adorable and interesting. Puzzles ranged in difficulty but always felt fair. The puzzles were also interesting and connected to the story in really cool ways that tied together in the end. Huge fan of all the set and how much is jam packed into a small space. The narrative here was much more pronounced than Zodiac, where there is a really emotional story that I don’t think I was prepared for when I think of “let’s do a fun escape room”. So that would be my only caveat to this room, be prepared for some emotion, and if that’s not your thing Zodiac is a great room also!”
