- Laser maze was a cool
- Canadian History!
My best friend in Toronto booked an escape room in North York. This place had SEVEN escape rooms and seemed very big. The person at the front told me that this escape room was a 2.5 Gen room and was made in 2015.
This escape room was more than a heist. Other than the first objective (to steal the correct relic), the secondary objective was to put everything back how we first found so it looked like nothing had happened. To me, it felt like a clever way to reset the room. We made it out of the room, but did a horrible job of putting everything back. Although we escaped, we had 0 points for the secondary object. LOL!
The escape room was very unique. You get to climb! You get to avoid lasers! You get to operate a computer where you uncover emails to help you complete the room. The only issue I thought was how run-down the room was. If the quality was better, I would've loved the room because of it's uniqueness! I also loved how Canadian History was apart of the escape room!
