Escape the House
Mississauga, Ontario
Last Stop Hotel: Paranormal activity in a haunted hotel room. What else do we have to say? We had to solve the mystery and get out!
Pros: The set was a basic, single room set-up which in some ways made for faster game play. The puzzles flowed quite logically and were relatively simple single step puzzles. The puzzles were not aligned to the theme or storyline. We flowed through the game quite rapidly coming within seconds of breaking the record. While this always makes us feel especially accomplished, we felt that the room could be slightly improved to add additional challenge for more experienced players. The game masters were very kind and fun with infectious enthusiasm that helped us feel amazing at the end of our game.
Cons: The set design and storyline bored us. Aligning the puzzles to the theme or scaling the puzzles a bit more could help improve the quality of the game play.
We definitely recommend this particular game for escape room beginners due to its simplicity of design and smooth game flow. Experienced players may wish to play a more challenging game. Perhaps the other games at Escape the House would provide more of a challenge.
