OMFG - where do I even start?! Alright, so I've heard about this place for a good while now, but because the location is downtown Toronto it was a lot harder to make a visit. We finally got the chance yesterday and let me just say - THIS IS NOW MY FAVOURITE ROOM!
Pre-Room Experience: We didn't get much pre-room experience as we were late! There's no parking outside the facility as it was downtown Toronto. So I would recommend going slightly earlier to find parking! The entrance of the facility was located in an alleyway. Yes, first impression = bonus points, if you have read my other reviews. +1 for them! I loved the yellow door with a lock on it! It totally created the immersive experience already! Remember to walk DOWN the stairs and not UP (or just read the sign) lol. Once we entered the facility +1 for them again. The lobby was so nicely put together! Unlike other escape room facilities, this one will make you feel like you travelled to some underground secret agent headquarter or something (it was REALLY nice). I think the only thing my team and I didn't like was how we had to make full payment when booking online. I guess it does save on time - but we always prefer paying in person. Not a huge problem though.
Room Quality: Alright, this is where I give them every single point I can give. I mean, if I can give them 6 stars I really would! We started off in a small room, but once the game begins and we start to unfold everything - just DAMN! I was so impressed the moment the door opened to one of the main rooms! They seriously did such an amazing job with their room design! Like a lot of reviews stated, the use of lights and audio just added to the whole theme! It was creepy... was it as creepy as the other rooms we have played? YES! I mean, the creepy level for this room was so high because it felt so realistic! I don't think I've experienced a room where it felt so real. I really don't want to spoil too much, but seriously THIS IS A MUST DO ROOM. I don't think anyone can express or describe the design of this room, without actually being there and experiencing it because wow I am mind blown still haha.

Puzzle Design: Ahh ~ puzzle designs were also very different, which I LOVED. I mean a lot of rooms we play were pretty straight forward, or because we've done so many it just seems like "oh just do that" and it works. This room was challenging. We weren't close to making it out - but we had so much fun because all the puzzles were different. I felt like the puzzles got harder and harder as we went on. It wasn't just lock boxes, but there were a fair amount. Was it high-tech? I think there was just the right amount of tech to make the room very entertaining. The puzzles weren't impossible, but... I think the only thing we personally found frustrating was we were stuck on one puzzle for the longest time. Turns out the clue was hidden in an object that we already tried opening but it apparently doesn't open until another puzzle was solved. Which caused us to lose to much time because we never thought of going back to open that object nor was there any indication that it opened.
Overall: We loved it - this room had us talking about it all the way until we got to our car. For a comparison, I would say this room quality is up to Escape Games Canada quality. As everyone that knows me, knows Unknown is both my boyfriend's and my favourite room, but this room has now successfully topped it. I would probably recommend a party of 5-6 to play this room or even 7-8 because there's a lot you can explore. The room was VERY spacious so it doesn't involve hovering over one another. There were also some puzzles that were specifically for 7-8 players only so that's also something to keep in mind. I would say though going into this room with 4 players made the creepy level so high, so if you're into the creepiness maybe book it with a smaller group! Overall, THIS IS A MUST TRY ROOM!!!!!
