Escape rooms in Vancouver

“I would rate this room a 4/5 (ck out my bio page for my rating system). The set design and theme deserve 1 pt, average. The real 'magic' was in the puzzles which I would give 1.5 pts! There was a variety of puzzle types and they all incorporated the theme quite well. A few of the puzzles were time-suckers (you figure them out quickly but completing them takes more than a reasonable amount of time) so because of this, I think this room should have a 60m time limit rather than 45m. I give my experience in this room a 1.5. I really did enjoy it mainly because of the puzzle experience (even with the time-suckers!). I hadn't seen many of the puzzles before and loved the variety. It was a pretty linear type escape experience which I prefer. Another thing I liked about this room (and business, as all the rooms have this) was that they play a distinctive sound when you complete a puzzle. Most of the rooms I have done don't have this and it's sometimes difficult to know if you actually solved a puzzle. In addition, they were judicious with their hints (we told them to go light on the hints) and played a separate sound when these were on the screen so we knew when to look. The staff was fun and helpful! My only real complaint is the pictures. I do like the polaroid idea but there should also be online availability of the pictures as well so you don't have to take a pic of the pic when you want to share!”

“Reviewing the Magic and Curiosity shop games together. Both games have strong opening sets and far lesser impressive spaces after. Both are 45 minutes and you need to move swiftly to escape. Both games have high-consequence puzzles that can be time-consuming; solving these right the first time could make or break your escape. Both games have excellent, on-theme puzzles, which is where Find & Seek thrives. These are pretty challenging games. The Magic game is far more linear and easier, with some nice reveals early on. In general, the puzzles are solved in the room they have progressed into. The Curiosity Shop is more challenging and non-linear. Teams will be moving between the rooms back and forth more in this game. The puzzles were frantic with a rapid pace, similar to Undercooked at Omescape. There are some larger, tactile pieces that are very fun the play with. Overall, both of these games are good if you are into intense puzzling. Be ready to ask for hints if it feels like you are slowing down.”

“I was lucky to do this room on its opening day. I did the room with just one other person and there were A LOT of puzzles to complete, which we loved. The staff gave us quite a bit of very needed extra time (since it was opening day). If we had paced ourselves better or come with a bigger group, we may have been able to complete it in an hour but it would’ve been challenging still. The set design was awesome and everything worked seamlessly. The staff was amazing - super helpful and excited to show us the room. The other 2 rooms at Find & Seek have been my top 2 in all of Great Vancouver and the Secret of the Serpent Sanctum is right up there as well, making Find & Seek’s rooms now my top 3 rooms in Vancouver. If you love the company’s other rooms - you’ll love this one too! Just be ready for tons of puzzles (which is good thing!).”

“This was one of the first escape rooms we did and we loved it. It was my fave blend of tech and locks. The atmosphere was awesome and I felt I was part of the story. There was one manual puzzle that us 3 just didn’t have the strength to manage, and we needed GM help. That’s my only complaint though”

“This was a pretty unique room. It has a classic escape game feel with some 'you are in a video game' moments. It is definitely different in that sense. It is mildy spooky with a couple of jump scares, but nothing overbearing. It is fairly challenging. Overall, I would recommend it!”
