“Overall great room! For its limited space, they did a good job maintaining the theme with their props and the puzzles were all very logical. There are A LOT of puzzles and game flow is very non-linear so you probably need at least minimum 3-4 people in your group with some experience each. Completed room with 4 players, no hints, 55:00/60:00. By far the best company in the city!”

An old, but once-charming stage where washed-up magicians went to put on their last show in hopes of rekindling their popularity. Many walked through its doors, desperately seeking the approval of audiences. Then came the Professor, his feats were unimaginable, his illusions were unexplainable, but little did we know that he was using the theatre as his testing grounds to perfect his powers gained from the relics. One of those relics must remain hidden somewhere inside. Can you help us recover the relic hidden within the Majestic Theatre?

“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!”

“Really enjoyed this room, not really hard for advanced players but really liked it non the less. Pretty decors and some fun puzzles and a surprisingly very enjoyable gimmick/game ( trying not to spoil it!) Nice flow to the game and never really had any problem progressing. Overall really recommend this room!”

I always heard stories about my grandfather. About how great of a detective he was, about all the lives lost that he avenged by seeking justice for them. But there was one story that never had an ending: the year was 1947, 4 gangsters were found dead in a dive bar owned by the mob. Grandad was assigned to the case to find the person responsible for this almost admirable crime. He had 4 suspects, each more likely a culprit than the last. I never got a chance to hear the ending to this story, if only I could see things through grandad’s eyes and find the ending myself…

“There are so many glowing google reviews of this room that I worried they may not be real. If you are wondering the same - I’m here to tell you that the 5 stars are all well deserved! This room is different than any I’ve ever done and the GM explained that it is a Chinese-style room. It really was like watching a movie, with scenes playing out in front of you. The space is small - but they’ve done a great job of making it feel big! The room isn’t really about the puzzles, but there were some fun challenges. The set design, effects, and acting are great. I spook easily, and it definitely was scary/got my heart racing, but I felt safe the whole time which helped! I would 100% recommend this room. If you are a scaredy-cat like me, id recommend going with 3+ others. I can’t wait to see what Mr. J’s puts together next! Greater Vancouver is lucky to have them.”
