Yikes..
I purchased a Groupon to check out this escape room with a group of 4. It's a little far, up at Yonge and south of Major Mac. Just north of Freeing. It was a little hard to find, it was in the back of the plaza where there was nothing else to the left of the H-Mart. (What's with these escape rooms located beside Asian supermarkets lol) There was one other car parked outside.. probably that of the guy who worked there.
Upon entry, I sensed another cheap room escape. Hand drawn signs and cutouts on the room doors.. then I remembered I only paid $10 and some change to try this out so I kept my spirits up.
We played the Thief Master room in which you are in love with some girl and she would only date you if you can break into the vault. Okay?
So we were guided into the room, no blind folds, with all of our belongings. Already a pretty different experience.
Again, another room with dilapidated clues and puzzles. Post-It's used, ripped up paper.. the only thing they spent money on in here was a laptop, but then again it was really old. We had some difficulty with one of the puzzles and called for help and the guy explained to us how to do it but it didn't work! We suspect that some furniture was moved prior to us playing.. but the guy denied it. A little bit rude..
We broke into the second room where there were lasers and they didn't even work LOL. We were able to just run through it without triggering any alarms.
Overall, I was glad we only paid $10 for it. We did escape, but the lasers were kind of a joke.
I would not recommend this escape room and I would not come back ever.
