The Castle of Eternal Suffering has an extremely physical portion of the gameplay. Definitely chat with the company to discuss if this experience may be right for you if you have any questions about the physicality required to fully participate in the game. If you have back problems, I highly recommend that you skip this experience altogether. This room is extremely narrative heavy. The story is quite interesting, and it is relayed quite beautifully through the environment. If you’re a ‘No Long Talk’ sort of player, this may be an area of friction for you. With regards to the horror aspect, I would consider it quite tame. The presence of the live actor was a great addition to add spookiness and a little bit of tension into the space, but it was done in a way where you’d have a decent idea of knowing when they’d show up, so you could mentally prepare yourself if necessary. The puzzles were the things I liked least about the experience. They weren’t awful, and I definitely enjoyed solving some of them. It’s just that overall, I didn’t have a strong connection to them; they didn’t scratch the puzzle itch in my brain. This room, however, definitely had one of my favourite transitions I’ve experienced to date. Overall, I had a great time playing Castle of Eternal Suffering, and the staff were lovely and accommodating. Played as a duo 👩🏽‍🐰‍👩🏻

WOW! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! IMMERSION 💯 As soon as you arrive at the facility, to the moment you leave, you are in for an absolute treat. THIS GAME IS SCARY. You have an option to dial down the scariness and play in daylight mode (no actors), which is what I chose to do because I thought my soul was going to leave my body. YOU WILL BE SWEATING* *I played in a group of 2, and the facility is HUGE. There were moments where I was winded, but that didn’t take away from the enjoyment. The puzzles were enjoyable, and we didn’t find anything overly difficult. If you are in Athens, you should definitely make this a part of your travel itinerary. You won’t be disappointed!

🧟‍♂️The Mysterious Miseries of Franklin N. Stein is another great room by the folks at Improbable Escapes! 🏠Great set, great props! A lot of intricate detail went into the creation of this room. I loved interacting with the set pieces. This is the kind of room that inspires me to embark on creative endeavours. 🧩 The puzzles were fun and varied! The signposting was great. It was clear what puzzles needed to be worked on, and how many puzzles you had remaining. The puzzle flow is non linear. 👯‍♀️ I played this room as a duo, but this would be a great game for a group of 4, as there is a lot of puzzle content. A particular challenge ate up a good chunk of our time, but the GM gave us 10 extra minutes, so we managed to escape. 👏🏽 This is my favourite room at this location, but all the rooms here are great!

The Tomb is definitely one of the more unique escape room offerings in Toronto! I will say though, please pay heed to the warnings on the website. None of them are exaggerations. The personal protective equipment provided really is necessary! Physical agility is definitely needed to complete some parts of this room. Everyone in your group has to be comfortable with crawling and climbing. I’m not someone who gets claustrophobic, but this is the most uncomfortable I’ve felt in a tight space. There were emergency exits, but if we were in a situation where we needed them, it may have been an issue to get to. I think the folks at Revo absolutely nailed the look of the tomb! Most escape rooms have varying levels of artifice to the built environment, but in this room I legitimately felt as if I was inside of an ancient tomb. I enjoyed how at the end of the experience the host showed us a video of the ways in which the puzzles were intended to be solved. My group completed the puzzles differently, and it was interesting to see how we overcomplicated things that ended up being quite simple 😅

This room definitely has some cool moments and interesting physical challenges. I thought the narrative was decent, but I felt that the overarching story wasn’t delivered through the gameplay well. After the game there was a video debriefing that showed us how all the puzzles were solved, and what the story arc was. How we solved things was slightly different from what we were shown, so it was interesting to see how different methods of solving brought about the same results!

VHS is a solid room 📼 👹 Surprisingly, I didn’t find it too scary! The actor interactions were minimal and they weren’t drawn out too long. I found Motel Betty @ Omescape Markham scarier than VHS. Ready Set Go does point based escape rooms, so the aim is to get a score of 10/10. Some points were quick(er) solves, while others required up to six rounds to complete 😅😅 There was a task that I absolutely LOATHE that made a reappearance in this room. I left that puzzle on read 💅🏽💅🏽 That was a point I was A-OK with forfeiting. VHS is a good option for those looking to do a scary escape room in the GTA.
