| - I went to Freeing Canada Station recently and had a great time. I had been to some other rooms before, but this was definitely a step up from what I had experienced before. At the other places, we would just have to solve random puzzles that didn't really have anything to do with the storyline to open locked boxes and get the next clue. One place that we visited was mostly a bare room with just a chest in it! We weren't even offered a storyline! The room that we tried here (Unmask) was amazingly decorated to suit the theme and was more high-tech than I had anticipated so I was very pleasantly surprised.
My group of 5 worked well together and although it was challenging, we actually escaped! Freeing is a new place so we actually beat the top time...until 4 hours later when another team came and beat us. LOL
I feel that at Freeing, they've made the rooms so that they aren't unbeatable within the allotted time given. I feel that some of the other places that I've been to were designed so that people can't really escape and it can get frustrating. Here, you will be challenged for sure, but it's possible to escape (because the clues aren't super random) so that you feel a sense of accomplishment.
The Service:
The service was excellent! We were greeted right when we got in, and everyone was very friendly. We were offered free soft drinks or coffee by liking them on FB. We got there a bit early and enjoyed the freshly popped free popcorn as well. YUM! Because we went there for a friend's birthday, we brought some cupcakes from NomNom Custom Cakes and were surprised to see that they sold them there as well! Those were some really delicious cupcakes. They don't skimp on the yummy frosting! If you love cupcakes like I do, then you should really try one while you're there!
The Atmosphere:
To our surprise, we stayed there for another 4 hours after the escape room. The lounge is a really great place to hang out. We ended up playing a few board games and had a blast. We didn't even notice the time go by. The place is clean, and comfortable. The decor is modern, but inviting. The owners came up to us a few times and chatted with us. We felt very welcome. It would have been perfect if they had some more food or drinks for us to munch on. We ended up leaving when we got hungry enough for dinner. lol
Also, as I mentioned before, the decor inside the room was amazing. Really sets the stage for the game, and puts you in the right mindset.
The Verdict:
I highly recommend Freeing to anyone who's looking to try an escape room. You won't be disappointed.
We are going to be back to do Mission Incredible (the room with the lasers.) I also heard that they are opening a new room that has something to do with pyramids and that sounds pretty cool too.
