2010 was the best year yet for the Blueberry Bluegrass Festival!…read more The lineup was stellar (aside from a couple of local bands that had decent musicianship but poor vocal performances), and they brought in more high-end bands than ever. I missed Fred Eaglesmith on Friday; but I (and everyone with me) really enjoyed The Spinney Brothers, Rhonda Vincent & The Rage, The Mashville Brigade and particularly Dailey & Vincent. Having tastes that lean to more progressive stylings, my hands-down favorite was The Claire Lynch Band. They took a while to set up, but were worth the wait... they blew everyone away and departed from the beaten path. This festival offers solid lineups year after year, and is a must-attend for anyone into acoustic and traditional music.

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.

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 have done many paint nights and have had a great time. In this case it's not the evening or the…read morehost. It's the administrative side. I bought 2 passes at a discounted rate to be used at an event I chose. Well I choose the event over a month ago yet my redemption codes do not work. I have tried for a month to get this resolved but no one will email or call me back to fix this. I have my receipt buying the 2 passes but are useless until someone talks to me. Also my event is now sold out which makes me even madder. So I've been essentially robbed of my $70 pass fee as I can't use them. They expire in 3 months. I also have the 14 emails I have sent this company. My last resort was to hope they see this review and care enough to get ahold of me. Carrie

Paint Nite is a great way to spend an evening with friends doing something a little different…read more Whether you're an artist, a hobbyist or just looking to try something new. Even if you go alone, you're sure to have a great time! My Paint Nite was a charity even for the Edmonton Humane Society's "Poochy Mamas" with proceeds going to EHS's. Our instructor was up beat and very encouraging. He went through the steps a little quickly but had a few assistants there to help out if need be. Whether you needed more paint or some advice they quickly were at your service. My only advice is that depending on where you're located in the room it can be difficult to see what's going on. I had to sneak a peek at others work to make sure I was doing okay! Lol... It was awesome to see everyone's masterpieces at the end! Overall my PN experience was fun!

The wife and I have an annual tradition to visit Deadmonton and are never disappointed - and the…read moresame goes this year. This year, it was held at the old Edmonton Sun building and exhibited some unique themes. They had a total of 3 tours plus photo area, food truck, fire pits, and drinks! I would highly recommend visiting this event because you can really see the amazing work and talent that goes into creating these tours each year. Edmonton does not always have a lot going on, but this is definitely one that tops the list. If you are really brave, they have a lights out event on the last weekend, where all they give you is a glow stick. That is quite the experience as well - if you dare!

Then comes the lineup for the Deadmonton main show, which features a variety of zombies and horror show sites with costumed actors and actresses jumping out of dark corners!!! I could swear that I was in real places and real infected people, it was very scary and realistic, but so well made!! To do again next Halloween!!! Hooooooooo

Decided to tell our friends to book in the 6:30pm slot under "public" and see if we could fill a…read morewhole slot. Unfortunately, some people booked, paid and could not come. But instead of being able to remove them from the slot they stay in the slot and have to pay IF not one takes their slot (if someone takes their slot then they get reimbursed if that makes sense). SO our 6:30PM slot Looked full, but was not. Couple people did not come because of this - they Should have showed up in person and then would have taken the slot of the people who no-showed or could not come. Instead a group of randoms who just got out of their game ended up staying and make for a completely different experience. Some were not the kindest, most knew the best hiding spot and most dominated and ended up making it very difficult for the low skill level players. They picked us off in the first couple games so fast - it was not fun and a lot of us got Very frustrated. Place has a big reception area, orientation was clear and well done. Games were run well. Set-up inside the play area was okay but I wish there were more spots to crouch (1/2 size crates/barrels maybe). Games they selected based on how big our group was were good. Once you get into the play area it's 90minutes nonstop, some people worried about a bathroom break but you're so busy running that I don't believe anyone had time to even think about leaving. Just pee before your game (gender-specific multiple stalls washrooms available onsite) and you'll be good. Lockers inside the play area (secure) so feel free to bring your purse, water bottle (for After the game, no time during the game to drink), AND a change of clothes for after/the drive home. The men in our group Love Loved this and would 100% come back. Unfortunately, the girls (especially those with low skill level) did not have a good time and would be hesitant to come Unless we book a private slot. To book a private slot it's $500 so you need ~15 people to make it the same price as public. 10-20 people would be perfect as we went with ~35 people and it was too much - not enough corners for everyone to peek around and constantly running right into your own teammates when turning corners. 100% recommend for guys night/bachelor party and I do recommend booking Private slot unless you're an ace shot.
