The Enchanted Forest
Escape Key
Escape room
IRL
Delightful room from start to finish. Mix of puzzle difficulties and types. Solves felt satisfying. Mix of classic locks and more high tech. Clearly a lot of love and fun went into the set design. The staff and owner were incredibly friendly and passionate. This was just a really fun experience. And definitely accessible for beginners. I also really liked their implementation of their point system. There were times the room was non-linear and included optional puzzles, all which could improve your overall score, so there was always something our group could be working on. Will definitely come back to try their other rooms.
Memory Retrieval Agency
Escaptopia
Escape room

Overall I really liked what this room was going for, theming was super adorable and interesting. Puzzles ranged in difficulty but always felt fair. The puzzles were also interesting and connected to the story in really cool ways that tied together in the end. Huge fan of all the set and how much is jam packed into a small space. The narrative here was much more pronounced than Zodiac, where there is a really emotional story that I don’t think I was prepared for when I think of “let’s do a fun escape room”. So that would be my only caveat to this room, be prepared for some emotion, and if that’s not your thing Zodiac is a great room also!
Zodiac Cafe
Escaptopia
Escape room
IRL
Absolutely delightful room from start to finish. This location leans more into narrative rooms so that’ll have different mileage based on your tastes, but the props, story and puzzles all were cute and fun to complete. Perfect 2 player (maybe 3?) experience as it’s a smaller space, but it jam packs a lot of puzzles into the 70 minutes. There are also side puzzles that earned you extra hints which I thought was a fun idea (and added extra things to do if you finished early). Big fan. Will go again for any new rooms they open.
Lost & Found
Trapped Midtown
Escape room
IRL
This was an adorable room. The puzzles were on the easy side but interesting. The reason this got a heart is because we said “this is so cute” maybe like 10x in the room for both some of the props and the storyline. Big fan, an “easy” room executed really well imo. (I do agree some sort of bigger “finish” would have been really nice but that’s the only complaint I have)
The Sorcerer's Secret
Crypto Escape Rooms
Escape room
IRL
Really fun room from start to finish. I understand why it ranks highly on the TERPECA list. Great use of different types of tech, interesting storyline and characters, good world building and atmosphere. Enjoyable for our group with mixed experience levels!
The Lost Shipwreck
Crypto Escape Rooms
Escape room
IRL
Loved the atmosphere and tech in this room. It is a very straightforward room so I wouldn’t trust their “escape rates” as a source of difficulty. I think they could really do with increasing the difficulty of their puzzles in most of their rooms to have a more satisfying experience (this also goes for Below Zero, and Extraction). But I definitely would take newcomers to this room as it’s very impressive as a room
Z Express
Omventure Canada
Escape room
IRL
Loved this room a lot, but I do understand what others have posted in terms of there could be some refinement. Theming and atmosphere is fantastic. The use of tech and animatronics is great. I loved the use of the live actor at the end. Most of the puzzles are in my opinion great (assuming you go with 4 players). I only found one puzzle unreasonably difficult to find a specific piece of info you needed, we needed a hint, the rest seemed completely reasonable. I think there are some definite improvements that could be made (like streamlining the video that gives wayyyy too much info at once) but overall it was a great experience. I think Motel Betty at their other location is more successful with their live actor but I appreciated the difference in approach this room took with their live actor compared to most rooms with one.
Defend the Magic Academy
Omventure Canada
Escape room

Really enjoyed this room. Only bring 4 players, as any more and not everyone could physically help or be involved with every puzzle. The atmosphere was great, their use of tech was unique even within magic/HP themed rooms. And the finale felt momentous. Big fan.
Wild West Showdown
Omventure Canada
Escape room
IRL
Heart for the ambition of the room, for the last 20 minutes being very inventive with great puzzles/structure and for the atmosphere of the space. Top notch as with the other large/long rooms here. However if we had gone with more than 4-5 people we probably would have had a more negative experience. As with the other large rooms, Omventure struggles with wanting you to bring a large group of people, but then constructing their physical spaces and puzzles so that only a small few can meaningfully participate at any given time. If you go with 4ish, maybe max 6, this is a really really enjoyable experience. Other slight suggestions that maybe are a more matter of personal taste: 1) not sold on the needing of live actor in there 2) one (optional) puzzle at the end felt a bit unfair and could use better signposting that earlier info might be important later.
Twister
KW Escape
Escape room
IRL
My favourite room at KW. Has a lot of great variety puzzles like a lot of the rooms at this place, but adds in a high degree of set design and immersiveness. Since rooms are getting more and more high tech these days, I think this is a great example of how you can make an immersive space without every inch being tech focused. Very impressed and will be back for the rest of the rooms soon!
