There are some businesses that exist because the owners wants to share their passion, and then there are those that operate because they want to make a quick buck. Unfortunately, Mystery Room Downsview is the latter.
This is my sixth escape room adventure. We got the groupon for four, and made the reservation for Doctor Nightmare. What really got to me more than anything else is the lack of attention to detail in the rooms. Yes, this is a mult-room escape, but bigger isn't always better. The rooms are worn out and in much disarray that I almost didn't cared about the puzzles. To make matters worse, the rooms are located within a warehouse with a high ceiling, so the whole time we can hear the group next to us chat, since they didn't bother to tile the ceilings (all they did was put up some dry walls and add in doors), like an open maze.
Did we manage to escape? Yes, with 8 minutes left on the clock. Would I come back to play in another room? Nope.
Summary
