This was my first escape room, my group and I did the Tomb one and it was pretty fun. Other people in my group had done other escape rooms before and they thought it was merely so-so. I like the idea of the Egyptian themed room but the hieroglyphics took way to long, I would rather more physical puzzles than word games. We did manage to get out with 3 minutes to spare! I would go back and try their other rooms though!

We’ve done both “The Contestant” and “the Tomb”. We really enjoyed “The Contestant”, although there was one puzzle related to a ball on the wall (not a spoiler) that I thought could have been planned better. I really enjoyed the variance of the challenges in this room, though. “The Tomb” was probably my least favourite room ever, though I did have fun. First, the flashlight didn’t work, so we needed that replaced before entering. The second flashlight we found in the room also didn’t work. These are just things that should go smoothly and be ready for each new group of players. The heiroglyphics were overdone (also not a spoiler since we were told before entering that we would need to concentrate on solving these). It basically became the only puzzle some people would get a chance to work on while others tackled the limited other challenges. Deciphering them was fun for awhile, but it got old.

Four of us did the Contestants and the Tomb...both had a success rate online of 25% and were the easiest listed online. Before we began the staff member said they had made the rooms tougher so they were like 15% now...ok. Why? The four of us have done escape rooms before but all agree that this was our least favourite place. Elements of puzzles were too long for no particular reason.. For example the puzzle in the contestants room was too large and the hieroglyphics took too long...we knew what to do but it just dragged out and was not enjoyable. There was no need for such a dark room in the tomb...again adding difficulty but not intellectually stimulating. The enjoyment of escape rooms is a balance of success at puzzles, difficulty and length of time an individual item takes when it is clear what is required. The balance wasn’t there. That combined with finding it hard to understand the unengaged staff member did nothing for excitement.
