Bringing the Omescape series to their Scarborough location! Today I will be reviewing their first room, Virus Outbreak - The Final Hours. If you want to know more then continue reading!
Pre-Room Experience: I wouldn't say this location is super far from their Markham location. It wasn't hard to find as well. However, the parking lot did seem much smaller and the whole place itself seemed rather small from the outside. Once you enter it's a whole different story tho. The facility is so spacious! If you've been to the Markham location, you would know how loud and busy it can get. Their Scarborough location is completely different. There's no bubble tea stand and no board game (well there are but very limited unlike their Markham location). It was definitely much quieter and way less busy. Omescape Scarborough also has something called Epic Runner, which is inspired by the Korean variety show Running Man. You're basically running around playing intense tag (team and I still need to try this out). Staff of the new Omescape were also very friendly, they have their $3 discount when you check into facebook, just like Omescape Markham.
Room Quality: Being a big fan of Omescape Markham, my team and I came to new Omescape with a high expectation (like always lol). The theme was very nicely made. I realized after playing so many rooms, I love the concept of when you're first entered into a small room but it expands out to much more. Omescape does this a lot with their rooms and it really makes me fall in love with it. The props were once again very nicely put together. If you have been to their other rooms or read my previous reviews you would know their use of tech are absolutely incredible. No different for this room, every piece of the props fit very well with the theme. There was definitely a point in this room that caught my attention (a good one)! Without wanting to spoil too much, lets just say it's something very different and I have yet to see in any other escape rooms.

Puzzle Design: The puzzles weren't impossible, but with that being said it was challenging. For some reason this room in particular seemed to give off the never ending puzzle vibe. Every time you think you're about done something else pops up. Was it dragged out? - No. There's many escape facility that have way too many puzzles in one room and it just gets very exhausting but we didn't feel that for this room. Puzzles were very nicely connected to the theme. One thing I noticed about Omescape is that they focus their puzzle through different props rather than lockboxes. It's very interesting to see how they put together their puzzles because its not your typical - press a few numbers and something opens - kind of room. Their puzzles are very well created and will definitely keep you entertained throughout the game.
Overall: I will add a small bonus for the creativity of the concept of the room (you will know once you play it). Overall, Omescape Scarborough in my opinion did live up to their Markham location glory. Definitely worth a visit if you're a fan of Omescape because their room only stepped up the game. However, in my opinion Kingdom of Cats and Joker's Asylum are still my current top favourites from Omescape.
Happy Escaping!
