WHAT PLAYERS ARE SAYING
“The atmosphere was spooky without being overly scary. Our group had so much fun working together and uncovering the story.”
— Laura
“Amazing experience!! I have been to many escape rooms in Calgary and this is the best. The set up and tour was fantastic and NPCs were very kind and helpful. There are enough puzzles for a large group so no one will be sitting and watching. The puzzles were not easy but there were helps throughout. I would definitely go to the other events :)”
— Hailey
“Amazing experience. Puzzles were well done. Actors were immersive and augmented experience. Sooo much fun. Truly dark at the village at night and this escape truly used that to its advantage. Highly recommend this escape.”
— Helen
“Creatively thought-out, super fun, and one of the most unsettling and immersive escape adventures I’ve ever been to. Truly a unique experience to do with friends”
