This was my 4th escape room and one of our friend's first room. Really fun experience and we all enjoyed it even though we didn't (sadly) complete it in time! We tried the new Blind Tiger room which has a 9/10 difficulty and so far 0% escape rate... we were convinced we'd get on the board LOL. There were 4 of us and the room is probably perfect for a 4-6 people group. Will not spoil anything! Usually I'd complain about the difficulty if we didn't make it through but it was definitely properly scored at 9/10. Still really fun. Staff were so kind and helpful, would come back here to try another room. Thanks Captive Mississauga team you guys were awesome!! :) read more

Captive Escape Rooms - looking sad post non-escape room hahaha - Escape Games Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Just came back from doing 13 Doors with 2 people. Really enjoyed the room, and liked the multiple puzzles that can be done together or separately. My one advice would be to PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS! We didn't, so we ended up asking for help again and again agd again... The waiting lounge was spacious and the staff was friendly and helpful. They even thew in an extra personal touch that was really cute and very much on point! Let's just say the escape experience is not just limited to your 60 minutes. The only thing I thought was a bit hindering was the lack of timer in the room, so had no idea how long we wasted on a puzzle. Having done literally 90% of their rooms, I would return to do the last couple of rooms! read more

This was my first escape room ever. Absolutely loved it. We tried out the Charlotte room. The staff was super helpful and provided us hints whenever, and were also super SUPPER friendly. Only concern is that the rooms were a little small, so maybe having 5 people (as they recommended) would be a lot for the rooms. If you've never been to an escape room before, and want to check one out in Mississauga, I would definitely recommend this one. Definitely coming back again to check out their other rooms/other locations. read more

Wasnt worth the price, super small rooms nothing surprising, and boring puzzles. I wouldnt reccomend. I've tried both locations downtown core and mississauga, done 3 puzzles But all are equally disappointing. All of the times I've been to were going with colleagues paid by my company we will no longer go to captive escape. read more

We arrived for our booking 10 minutes early and we greeted by the staff who informed us we would not be playing by ourselves. We played Dracula's library and since we were aground of 2, we were teamed up with another group of 2. The ambiance for this escape was very good but the rooms were very small, considering it is suggested that 5 people should play. Puzzles were ok, low amount of tech, props well designed. I've played many escape rooms and this one falls right in the middle. I've been to worse but I've also been to a lot better. Worth playing if you can get a deal on groupon, but if not, try a different venue. I won't be back to try their other rooms. read more

My final word: a great little escape room venue! My experience with escape rooms: done at least 40 escape rooms total at over 15 locations I've done every room in this location now, and I've always had a great time. They're incredibly accommodating and the rooms have a nice variety of themes and puzzles. My favourite room with them is Charlotte. It offers the best challenge with the most engaging puzzles. Dracula's library is very well designed and has great production value. The puzzles were not my favourite however. Cabinet of curiosities has a cool premise to it, however I was expecting a better production value of of it after seeing Dracula's library. It was all in all a fun room, but definitely my least favourite of the three. I have always had a positive experience when I've gone here, the staff is super friendly and nice. I've gone on weekdays when they're quiet, and they've always accommodated our last minute bookings well. I definitely recommend them. read more

Went here for a team building work experience. It's my second time doing an escape room. Overall it was well thought out and creative although quite challenging to figure out a lot of the clues! As others have noted, it would be nice if staff gave us maybe a 15 min, 10 min and 5 min head's up when time is running out. Neat experience overall read more

Initial thought: great staff, great foyer decor, very spacious foyer Room: Charlotte My 2 cents: Disappointed. My group and I drove about 45mins to come and try out this escape room location. We had tried out and completed most of the escape rooms in our area so we were on the hunt for a new and exciting place and try and escape all their rooms. The puzzles were very easy and if you couldn't solve a puzzle, it was easy enough to through some guesses and get the correct answer to move onto the next puzzle. There was NO tech. NONE. Oh, I lied. They had a hint button. There was no countdown clock, instead, someone would randomly burst through the door and tell you how much time you had left with no warning. There's no cameras so GO CRAZY (haha jk). We were wondering how a team managed to escape a 45 min room in 26 mins....and after completing it in 40 mins, we know why. We spent a lot of extra time randomly doing things but besides the fact, we really spent a good 10 minutes on the last puzzle. I won't spoil anything but after getting a hint for this clue to escape, we asked them how they solved the puzzle and we basically got an "oh we screwed up the puzzle order but it made you guys think didn't it"? WHAT????? The props and decor was decent in this room. At least they maximized the space they had. This place is VERY GOOD for beginners. But as a group who has been hoping around over a dozen escape room locations over the last 2 years, this was a NO GO in our books. Sorry! We most likely will not return. After spending 45min per way and paying $30/person for a nontech, 45 min room, we were very disappointed. We're unsure if the other rooms they have are like this as well or if their other locations (Toronto and Vaughan) are the same as well. read more

Went on after making a reservation with friends. What a great time we had. The staff were lovely and the helpful. I will be returning and I will bring friends. Suggest that everyone tries. read more
