Having tried many escape rooms in Edmonton, I must say that this was mediocre at best. Other escape…read moreroom places have a pleasant greeting and enthusiastic personnel working however these folk working here definitely were not invested. Even after we escaped, we walked out to the front ourselves and they still did not know we escaped. Then an employee came running out from the back apologizing. Lol As for the room it self, we did the magic emporium room, which was okay. Puzzles were pretty mainstream (lot of locks and combinations). Not much technology used to complete puzzles. I would say the theme was definitely pretty cool, but seemed like this was like perhaps an original room when they first came out or something. Nevertheless, we had fun and the best part was we ESCAPED!! Definitely a confidence booster hahaha.

This is one of my two favorite escape room facilities in Edmonton. I have now officially completed…read moreall of the current 6 rooms at this location. Some I passed, some I've failed. I love this place because the theming for each of the rooms is on point. All of the details in the rooms are done so well. You really get immersed in the stories. The rooms and puzzles are fun and it's a great way to spend any hour. Great location with easy parking. I always finish a room and want to do another one right away.

We went to the Rec Room to take part in a Paint Nite on the second floor…read more I grabbed a couple of drinks to have during the painting event. In order to dry our painted items, we went to the restaurant part of the Rec Room. My companion had the chicken clubhouse, and I had the sun dried tomato and goat cheese pasta. Service was very good and so was the foods. The ambiance was definitely loud, as there was a big crowd, but otherwise a good place to go for recreation and fun.

Out of all the escape rooms I have been to in Edmonton, Breakout is near the top of the list…read more On the outside, Breakout doesn't look like much. It's in an older strip mall across from the Doubletree Hotel; the windows are all covered up. When you walk into Breakout, it doesn't look like much, either. It's kind of dark and it doesn't have a very "welcoming" feel, but the people who work here are pretty friendly. Sometimes you can't judge a business based on the outside. We chose to play out "The Bomb" scenario and it was actually pretty cool - Our team was split into different rooms which makes for a very different challenge compared to other escape rooms I have been to. I won't give much away, but if you are going to do this room, make sure you have a very strong team (and people who aren't afraid of small spaces). One thing we found interesting is that Breakout and Escape City have a Loyalty Card together - you can purchase it from either business - which offers you 20% off for the cardholder at both Breakout and Escape City each time you visit, your first game with it is free, and you get to play for free on your birthday (or within a week of your birthday). I would definitely return to Breakout, but I will be trying one of the other rooms. Hopefully they are just as great as this one!

I came to Breakout Entertainment last week with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday!…read more We did the "Cube" room which was released about a month ago and so far there are no escapes! We got about 3/4 of the way through when time ran out. I honestly don't know if we could have solved it in another 45 minutes... We were stuck! The staff were fabulous and kept us entertained while waiting to start our game with brain teasers. At $25 a person, the entertainment value is pretty decent and it's cool that they have a wall of fame wall with best times and of course ever changing escape rooms to keep you coming back. I will definitely be back!

I brought my daughter and a few friends to Clay and Cupcakes for her 9th birthday and…read moreunfortunately, our experience was disappointing from start to finish. When we arrived, no one explained the process or rules, even after we had been there for about 10 minutes. The kids naturally started looking at paint colors, and instead of being guided through the process, they were reprimanded quite harshly for touching the paint. When I explained that it was our first visit and no one had told us how things worked, the staff member responded dismissively that she was "getting to that." Throughout the two hours we spent there, the staff seemed largely absent, spending much of their time chatting in the back room. When I approached with questions, I often felt ignored, and when I did receive answers, they came across as curt and unfriendly. The store was also filled with boxes due to restocking. While they did apologize and explain the situation, the boxes remained throughout our visit, making it difficult to move around the already tight space and browse pottery pieces comfortably. What was most disappointing was that the lack of customer service wasn't limited to our visit. When my husband returned a few weeks later to pick up the finished pieces, he was treated discourteously as well. We were excited to celebrate a birthday here, but the atmosphere felt unwelcoming and stressful rather than fun and creative. I rarely leave negative reviews, but based on our experience, I would not recommend this business.

My Love Language is 'Quality Time', and C&C's public-yet-surprisingly private environment is a game-changer. Whether you're painting an item or decorating cupcakes, it's perfect for all skillsets: from curious, 1st time beginners to advanced regulars honing their skills. I adore the woman who was working at the front desk both times I've been there (thus far)... she is extremely positive, helpful, encouraging, and not the slightest bit judgemental towards newbies like me and my family. After all: practice makes progress, and I'm looking forward to many outings at Clay & Cupcakes in the near future (while spending quality time with the people I love most!)

The arcade area was kid friendly but kind of pricey at $2-$3 for each game. I found the dark mini golf was a bit challenging for 3-4 year olds. The parents helped their kids.

I had moments where I couldn't see my son because it was so dark. My son said some of the decor was a bit too scary for him. It felt like Halloween. I could see what he meant that it would be scary for young kids. Overall, a cool place to host a party.
