| - Omescape is a new escape room/board game cafe located in Markham. They offer 5 escape rooms, a wide selection of board games, and some vintage gaming consoles such as the Nintendo N64, NES, SNES. Btw the store is located at the back of the plaza, which can't be seen if you're just casually driving by the area. There are plenty of space for free parking.
Escape room:
I tried the Kingdom of Cats escape room in a group of 6.
After giving us a video to watch about the rules we were given a walkie-talkie to hold on to so we could ask for hints when we get lost. Then we were blindfolded and a staffer walked us to our room. I think the blindfolding part was unnecessary because the hallway that leads to many different escape rooms is pitch black anyway.
The game itself was straight forward, and each clue will only be used once. The decor was really nice and totally fits the theme. Bonus points for all the fluffy, cuddly kitty plushes everywhere!! There were total of 4 rooms within the Kingdom of Cats themed escape room, so it's a good value for the cost of $25.
Board games:
If you've already been to the escape room then for extra $4 you can play unlimited board games, the $4 will also go towards purchasing a drink.Otherwise, the cost is $10 which also comes with $4 for drinks purchase. Here at Omescape they have most of the popular board games available, like Uno and Monopoly, but I wasn't able to find Settlers of Catan. The board games are fairly new, given that this place opened not too long ago.
Gaming console:
Same deal as the board games, you can play unlimited gaming console games with the board game pass. We played Mario Kart on the N64 in a group of 4 and the experience was kinda terrible, because the screen we got to play on was small, and then it had to be split into 4 smaller screens, so we ended up not being able to see where the turns are until it was too late.
Also, the consoles are located at different tables, so if you want to try out another console you would have to move over. Some people do end up playing board games at the table where they played the console at, thus hogging the spot.
Drinks:
The drinks are made by the in house Presotea bubble tea shop. They offer a wide selection of fruit teas and bubble teas, but most of them are above $4 even for the regular size, so you would have to pay some extra because your $4 drink pass isn't enough to cover the cost. Quality of the drinks are alright, thought I was never a fan of Presotea in general. Also, I don't think you could earn Vicinity points for buying drinks here.
