Step over the yellow tape into the most chilling crime scene of your career. Your team of highly specialized Forensic Scientists and Detectives will attempt to process the crime scene and catch the killer before its too late. Ralph’s Meats is a local meat market owned by Ralph Gibson. Gibson was transported away from the scene of the crime in critical condition, only to be pronounced dead en-route to the hospital. Now, it is up to your unit to continue where the first responders left off. By taking on the roles of both Forensic Scientists and Detectives, you and your unit must work together to bring Gibson’s perpetrator to justice. Lies, deceit, and betrayal lurk in the tiles of the storefront. Do you have what it takes to solve this murder?

Really fun room but crazy hard for fifty minutes (50 min?? Wth) Loved the room design and the fun puzzles, but some of them were pretty confusing (and we’re fairly experienced players) We were racing against the clock so it was a bit hard to follow the story and we didn’t catch the ending “who dunnit” but overall this was one of the funner rooms we’ve done in Vancouver

Gameplay

Some of these puzzles were confusing and the last end puzzle really confused us and took way longer

Atmosphere

Really liked the immersiveness of all the rooms and there were many!

Customer service

GM was very helpful… but fwiw they don’t use walkie talkies or any way to communicate, so for hints the GM has to come into the room (breaking the immersion)

Particularly interesting or different

No

Not really but it was really fun and cool

Story

Pretty good but a little hard to follow the details

Difficulty

Expert

This was a hard room, mostly because there were a lot of puzzles and locks (some not very intuitive) and a very short room time (50 min)

This was a very fun room for the Vancouver standard. I really enjoyed the puzzles and atmosphere! I also love a multi room experience. I did feel like 50 minutes is a bit short for the amount of puzzles they have and rooms in this one. They also make you buy more time if you want to keep playing to see how it ends if you don’t get out, which feels over all scammy. We made it out just in time, but I really feel like it should have been a 60 or even 70 minute room. There were a ton of puzzles to solve and it felt like they were claiming it to be “hard” simply because they don’t give you enough time. That being said this is still one of the more fun ones Vancouver has to offer! And I love doing any level of escape room, good or bad, it’s still fun!

Gameplay

Game play was fun and pretty good flow over all, there were a couple puzzles where you had to put a code or arrange something in a certain way that was not intuitive to us at all and felt a bit of a stretch.

Atmosphere

Everything felt quite fun for what it was

Customer service

Our GM was very nice and helpful

No

Story

Had a hard time following the story as it wasn’t super obvious to us and we were racing against the clock

Difficulty

Hard

It was hard because this really should be at LEAST a 60 minute room, even 70. I’m not a fan of when businesses “make it harder” by over loading with puzzles and not giving you enough time to solve them. This room shouldn’t be 50 minutes

Loved the murder mystery aspect. Had a fun plot twist at the end with the storyline. We didn’t escape but one of our top favorites.
