| - This is the best escape game I've been to in Toronto and it is super well-made and thought out. I've been here with my friends and have done every single mission they have (5 at the time of writing).
Escape Games is located near Downsview Station, about a 7-8 minute walk from the station if you just walk along Allen Rd and cross the lawn instead of walking all the way around via Sheppard Ave. Once inside, the main lobby is really spacious and you can play the great assortment of board games that they have on the shelves while you wait or after you finish your mission. The staff is super friendly and have been helpful every time I've been, major kudos!
All the missions are pretty realistic, well thought-out and challenging (with the exception of Mayan Curse, which I thought was a bit too easy). I especially like the flow of the rooms, which is neither confusing nor too simple. The props they use are all pretty good and does not have a major emphasis on lock boxes like some other places but a variety of electronic locks, puzzles, and cool gadgets (you'll just have to find out for yourself!). Like all escape games, try to think outside the box and work as a team to piece together the clues! My favorite one has to be Le Voleur de Diamant, the rooms within the mission is very realistic and my friends and I had a blast and got out just in time :)
If you decide to go, make sure to call ahead and book as there may not be slots open if you just show up! Parking is plenty and ample right outside the entrance, and the business faces Allen Rd. Just fyi :)
