Hello Everyone! I am finally back for an escape room update! Got too caught up with everything, but there will be 3 new updates coming this week! So let's begin!

Pre-Room Experience:  Being the room addicts we are, my boyfriend and I were on a crave one night and stumbled along this place. I feel like up north are finally entering the escape world because there seems like they're opening up so many now. This escape facility is located on the third floor to a dental building. I gotta say, I would have thought those dark sketchy factory plaza were scary but this place was next level! You have to call the facility first as the doors downstairs are locked. We were then welcomed by the owner of the escape facility and was brought up by an old elevator into a narrow hallway. Yes, it was scary and to make it even better the ceiling lights were flashing like one of those horror movies. But hey, nothing was going to stop us from playing escape games even if it meant dying that night haha. The facility itself was small and cozy. Don't expect it to be like Omescape's lobby as the lobby was a very small area. The owner was super friendly and made us felt very welcomed!

Room Quality:  On to the good stuff! I didn't expect too much entering the room. The theme of the room was clear as the title stated "Alien Abduction". I don't recall doing much space themed rooms so I didn't have much to expect. With that being said, the room was SO FUN! You would think coming from a facility so far north the quality would not be as high compared to the more popular facilities, but we were VERY impressed. The room quality was great! The props used for the rooms were a mixture of both high and low end, but nothing made the room feel cheap. In fact, they had a lot of props that caught us off guard as it was that impressive. The room fit very well with the theme as well - making us feel like we were actually abducted my aliens. I really want to give them a bonus points as there were retro props that totally made me excited (I know I am old LOL).

Puzzle Design:  Puzzles start off alright but will gradually become harder. I would definitely recommend more than 2 players for this room! I wouldn't say it's impossible, but it was challenging for us near the end. I love the fact that the level gradually increased as the room progressed. Puzzles were a mixture of abstract thinking and maybe 1 or 2 lockboxes. There wasn't a lot of tech for this room but still enough to intrigue you. I actually had a lot of fun with the puzzles and thinking about it now it was such a fun room. I have to say though, every time you think you're about done - there's more! I was so impressed as the facility looks very small, but it really caught me off guard on what they did with their room!

Overall:  I will be back! Looking forward to trying their other room for sure! It's quite impressive seeing what escape facility up north is bringing now and it seems like they're stepping up with their games. This facility is definitely worth a visit! In fact my boyfriend enjoyed it so much :D


(LOL seriously the best picture so far)

Happy Escaping!
