Really enjoyed the room. Fun interactive puzzles, lots to do, big space, set design/mood felt like a haunted Disney attraction, a lot of attention to detail in the set design. Highly recommend!

Puzzles were pretty straightforward and linear. Lots of search and find, logical connections between props, locks and keys. The storyline and intro was great but I actually would have preferred getting LESS information before entering the room, leaving more for us to discover as we went.

Gameplay

Linear style room, pretty straightforward puzzles that flowed into one another.

Atmosphere

Very well done! Cool visual effects with sounds, projections, etc. Some clever mechanisms incorporating props when you figured out puzzles.

Customer service

So friendly and welcoming!

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

The hi-tech effects made the atmosphere really neat! Definitely added to the experience.

Story

Creative storyline. Worked well with the puzzles.

Linear game style meant you couldn’t really be working on several puzzles at once. Multiple hands were needed at times, 4 felt like a good number.

Scary

Spooky

Eerie and spooky storyline and atmosphere, but not scary. Was well lit and no jump scares. But some creepy things.

Minimum age

14

Spooky themes, but puzzles could likely be solved by teenagers.

Was anything broken?

No

Live actors

No

Physically active

You have to move between rooms and bend over a bit, but no large movements or crawling/climbing were necessary.

Accessibility

At least one person on the team needs to be able to see colours, crouch or reach lower spaces.

Easy to find location

Yes

Well marked.

Parking

Easy

Parking lot outside the building.

This room was beautiful and looked authentic however so many lock and key clues. Very simple and not complex. A little underwhelming after seeing the insanely high reviews

The Imaginarium takes pride in its set designs. The lobby is beautiful, the locker area is nice, the front of the door to each game is expertly decorated, and the set design of this game was amazing. If Disney were to create escape rooms, this is what it would look like. The game itself was very good. It wasn't perfect, but what game is? A few things that bothered us included a video that played over and over and the sounds of that video got annoying very quickly, there were some low-light areas that the provided candles barely illuminated (no flashlights were given and you can't use your phone lights), the game rules we got from our gm were a bit misleading, and the game could have used a little more signposting. On the positive side, the staff and owner we met were all very nice and friendly, the set design was superb as mentioned, the tech in the room was fantastic, the puzzles were a mix of easy to medium difficulty. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience. The two of us just made it out on time with a couple of hints on where to find things. Three or four people would be ideal for this game.

This is a big room with lots to do, the set design is graet with good flow and immersion. There is a wonderful twist that really adds to the experience! There are a few outcomes so if you like a good story this room is for you but if you want to escape a room by doing everything you could end up disappointed if you miss out on anything. Worth doing for sure

Imaginarium is probably one of my favourite GTA escape rooms. This room is the most immersive room I’ve ever been in. The atmosphere is great. The puzzles have range from easy to hard. I would recommend this room from beginners to enthusiasts.
