The Seed Of HopeThe Sanctuary Escape GamesEscape roomIRLSpooky escaping at its best! So many elements make this one of the best escape room experiences I've ever had. It was a fast paced, nonstop adrenaline rush for the entire 74 minutes & 50 seconds it took us to complete! Previous reviews suggested it wasn't possible to complete on the first or a single visit, but we can confirm that it is - we completed the room with 4 people, 1 of which was an escape room virgin, with a whole 10 seconds to spare! The room is masterfully planned & constructed. I don't think I've ever been in a room quite so fast paced - one puzzle led quickly and naturally to the next. The "room" is huge - it takes place over an entire house with many rooms on multiple levels, which really exploits and encourages team work. The spooky atmosphere is immersive, but wasn't as scary as we were led to believe (a good thing - we came to solve puzzles, not to be scared out of our wits)! I cannot recommend this room highly enough - wish we had more time in the area to play Sanctuary's other rooms.

90s NostalgiaBoxed In Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLSome unexpected twists. As the game progressed the rooms got better. Our first of the day and a great one to start with. Very friendly host and an immersive atmosphere
The HangoverEscape City BuffaloEscape roomIRLOne of the hardest rooms we've ever done. The room requires 4 people minimum but they kindly modified one of the puzzles so it would work with 3. We needed a bonus 5 minutes to escape. Fun and funny puzzles throughout, and the end sequence was epic - very high production!
InvasionMind Factory Escape GamesEscape roomIRLLOVED this room. Our favourite of the two rooms at Mind Factory. We were in town on a Tuesday - a day when Mind Factory wasn't usually open, but saw a note on the website encouraged us to email about the possibility of them opening for us. Dave, the owner, emailed back immediately and said he'd be happy to open just for us. When we arrived he was the perfect host - we couldn't have hoped for a better experience. Invasion is Pt.2 of a 2 part story and the highlight of our trip here. The puzzles, props, atmosphere and story line were all great. If you have time, I'd definitely recommend doing both Breathless & Invasion (in that order) in a single visit. We left feeling exhilarated and accomplished!
The End of the Bleeping WorldNiagara EscapementEscape roomIRLThe second room we played today - this one was more high tech than the first (Honeymoon), and made for a great contrast if doing both rooms on the same visit. Lots of well thought-out puzzles and plenty of satisfying "aha" moments. The owners and room designers were perfect hosts. Make sure you allow time for their delicious coffee, baked treats & maybe even a board game or two!
Lost SoulsBoxed In Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLOur second of the day. Fantastic atmosphere and some great puzzle elements I'd never seen before. Our hosts were welcoming and friendly. Thanks so much for such a great evening!

Body CollectorsEscape City BuffaloEscape roomIRLImmersive & creepy! The easiest of the three we played here, but also my favourite. Love the unique way our party of 3 were separated at the start of the game.

Breathless was a great room - Pt.1 of a 2 part (so far) story. There were a good variety of different types of puzzles and one element of the room was extremely unique - I've never seen it in any other escape room. Great room & great host!
