| - Each time we have some sort of tech issue, but we keep coming back. My husband and I have done three here, each with different groups, and the one in Scarborough too. It's nice to have the board games, bubble tea and frozen yogurt at the Markham location.
Kingdom of Cats was our favourite here so far. We appreciated the fun theme. The use of space was appropriately creative for the theme and the clues fit in well. The game used a lot of varying skills, which worked well for the group we brought (and we would have failed without different skill sets available!). At the end, we have to almost pry the door open after solving the final clue. Ignoring that part, this room was 5/5 for us.
Project Sphere - our first high tech game and it gave us a pleasant surprise with the first applicable puzzle. One puzzle was tedious, but I can appreciate the value in it too. A section didn't work and we spent a lot of time trying to figure it out, not knowing. They really should have caught it on the cameras, and it took some effort to get them to acknowledge that it affected our experience. Still, if everything was working then it would have been a great room.
Penitentiary - this was way beyond our group's ability (mostly beginners). When they showed us what was left we thought we would have needed double the time! It's less linear than the others, and one or two puzzles had too many elements that weren't clearly connected. I also found the atmosphere less exciting. Still, some memorable props that are worthy of praise.
We will likely end up doing the other rooms because the location works well for us, we like the games/food, and Kingdom of Cats was so impressive.
