I have been going to different escape games with the same group of 4 for years now! When we saw the promotional video for Roundabout, we figured we would give it a try. To be quite honest, this place was overly hyped.
To start off, Roundabout is really small. This I would understand since it's downtown located in one of the upstairs units of a building around Yonge and Dundas area. Staff were friendly, but seemed to be a little disorganized with the payments that we were initially over charged then had to figure out how to do the refunds for whatever amount we over paid.
We had chosen the Butcher's Basement because we wanted the scare. Unfortunately, which caught me off guard and made me give this place a 2 star, the story line was totally different than what was mentioned on the website. It was the same theme, but still threw off the story line which we had already read beforehand. Not too sure if it was the change in story line, but our group was able to escape. It felt too easy for us...something we had NEVER experienced in all our escape rooms that we have done. We got out of the room and all of us were like "That's it?"
In conclusion, I think we will still to our escape rooms in Markham. The effects were mediocre, and the change in story for something we were expecting just ruined the experience.
