It has many little disjoint puzzles which are somewhat challenging. Each puzzle is independent of the others, which allows for a group to split into smaller groups and solve the puzzles in parallel. The second room was The Lost Treasure (3/5 in difficulty). It was well thought-out and somewhat more challenging than advertised. The main room leads to a secondary room, and the main room is considerably more challenging. Both rooms were suitable for all ages. One of the great things about Enigma is that they allow you a lot of extra time. On both occasions they allowed us almost an additional hour to try to escape. They gave lots of clues, without taking away from the challenge. Moreover, the place is well maintained and it is clean. Keep up the good work.

Getting…read morein was slightly disorganized, but understandably so given that there were at least 50 people squeezed into the reception area at one point. It's a cozy place though with a few couches, coat racks, and lockers to store your belongings - oh, and the mandatory signs to hold up for pictures afterwards, of course. There are 7 different rooms here, 2 of which are horror themed. My team selected the "Godfather" with its 5/5 stars in difficulty rating, with the reason that we wouldn't be embarrassed even if we failed (i.e., a good excuse haha). Without spoiling anything, it gave us quite a run for our money! At first I had thought that the 9 people (maximum) we had in the small room would be overkill, but there were a few convoluted clues in there that had all of us circling around in confusion. It was only after 4 calls for hints later (hints are unlimited here - you'll need them) and with just 1 minute to go on the clock that we thankfully made our escape. Overall, everyone enjoyed the escape games, and the friendliness of the staff definitely contributed to the positive experience. Instructions were clear and the process was fairly efficient, although I felt they were somewhat understaffed as there was sometimes a delay in receiving hints - again, this was to be expected as we constituted a large group, but you'll appreciate my frustration when you're in the room staring in panic at the clock counting down on the wall. The price is reasonable given the location, recommended! :)

We did the Death Row room, had a few bites to eat, and played some darts. The escape room was on the tougher side but was still very enjoyable, especially considering our group had people that were mostly unfamiliar with escape rooms. We then had some food - their nachos, bruschetta, and spinach dip are really yummy, would recommend getting them to share. I had the turkey bacon club for myself and it came with a lot of chips on the side, and the club itself was pretty good. We then played a round of darts, and it was pretty cool that the dart board had a sensor to move the game along and tally up points automatically. Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fun night for a group outing!

And the room we were in was definitely not large. However, unless moving around was a key element in the story, I wouldn't base my ratings solely on size. We did the Prisoner. Given the allotted space they had to work with, I would say they made good use of it. There's enough space to walk around, and it really set the atmosphere of the story. Each clue was only used for one puzzle, and there were enough hints to be able to logically connect them to the appropriate locks. There was a clear sense of progression as you solved each puzzle, allowing you to move towards the next step of the story. Several clues were related to the story itself, and that's always good design. The only drawback to me is the amount of space they have to work with, given that they decided to run 5 different games concurrently, since you're paying the same price as pretty much everywhere else

We completed the Blind Tiger escape room as that was only room which accommodated 12 people. Each time we were stuck, the staff assisted.

The escape room is closest to the bbq chicken. It's the stairs leading to the upper unit. Communicate with your group. Clues might come in other ways (focus on all senses)

There were 3 staff that helped us out and I very much appreciated that they were able to accommodate one friend that was running late. The rest of us started the game and he was able to join us after. For large groups, I'd highly recommend Blind Tiger Speakeasy since you could reserve it for up to 12 players. I liked that I would make a payment for 8 of us at the time of booking, and if other friends wanted to join, they could and they would just need to pay for their admission at the time of arrival. Thanks for a great time Captive Escape Rooms!

I will try not to spoiled my room…read more.. A group of us had a reservation for the 8pm session in the hockey room (YES they have a hockey themed ones, my boyfriend LOVED it since he's a massive hockey fan). We arrived a bit early, so was told to wait a little bit in the game room. Once it was our turn, we had the standard procedure like other escape rooms- store away your personal belongings in a locker, coat check, rules explained, etc. THE ROOM - beautifully staged, very much like an actual hockey locker room - great props, well maintained - clues are very cleverly set up ( we almost got all the clues without helps but we were always soooooo close to solving and then asked for the hint) STAFF - both staffs were extremely friendly, very helpful (in my opinion) on the clues and will guide you to solving the locks after you tell them what's your progress OVERALL THOUGHTS - given the way the hockey room was set up and the storyline about the theme, it's very kids/ family friendly - prices were affordable, not on the pricey side compare to others - location is very convenient, as there's a subway station right around the corner

I went with a group of 6 and since we were kinda noobs we decided to try out the easiest room, which is the Billard Room. The room was so small (about 3m x 5m), and with the giant pool table in the middle it was difficult to move around. From where I see the other rooms are just as small, if not smaller, so I think 4 people should be the maximum capacity for this place. I do love the photo wall with the signs however, great for photo ops with friends and posting on Facebook lol.

A fun off the beaten path way to experience Casa Loma!…read more We played the King of the Bootleggers game in the afternoon (4:30pm). The game is designed for up to 15 people. In the end our group had 9 people. A little unusual is that because the games are designed for such a large number of people you'll likely be playing with strangers unless you have enough friends and book the entire game. Since the castle closes at 5pm we didn't have trouble parking. If you're purely there for the game I'd recommend booking an evening game so the parking lot is more likely to have space. The website difficulty rating was accurate. With 9 people it was very challenging to finish in 60 minutes. If only we had about 10 more minutes we probably could have solved it fully. (Someone told me that Murdoch Mysteries was so hard to at with a group of 12 they only solved about 70% of it. But she still had a great time!) King of the Bootleggers is great in that there are three separate rooms that are part of the puzzle. So the group is divided up. You may be able to mostly only play with your friends and not strangers. At the end you do come together for a final puzzle that requires some teamwork. That also means this particular game has re-play value! If you played one room you could get play again and ask to play a different room. The actors did a fantastic job and really set this escape room apart from all others I've played. They were helpful with giving unlimited hints while staying in character. If encouraged to interact with them in character (but no physical touching. Be nice to them). Part of Bootleggers was walking through the tunnels of the castle. The tunnels were decorated with lights for Christmas! So that was a nice bonus. Highly recommend! There's also a photo op at the end and you can tip your actors. Take away points are you should have a lot of friends or be prepared to play with strangers if you want to win and go in the evening for better parking.

In addition to the 11 people participating in the escape room there are three actors participating. The actors remained in character the entire time. Overall we were there for about 90 minutes. This was my first escape room but I would definitely recommend. Parking can be an issue so we Ubered from our downtown hotel.

I was unable to ask for it to be delivered on a certain day and it came in a brand bag and even had three bags of popcorn in it.

And all the cards had protective sleeves over them so it was great for keeping everything fresh as well as cleaning anything between customers. I opted to drop it off myself instead of paying for it to be picked up. They close at seven so it was a little tight for me with when I finish work but I was able to get them back. It was really hard to find. They have a sandwich sign that sometimes gets knocked down in the wind and it wasn't clear inside what way I needed to go to find the place.
