Top-Tier! Incredible production value, brilliant design, and heartfelt hospitality!…read more If you are looking for an experience where the staff is as genuinely invested in your team's milestone as you are, Find and Seek is the place. As a manager of a seasoned tech team, I'm always hunting for engaging challenges--and this is hands down the gold standard in Vancouver. We brought a group of 10, and I was so impressed by the intentional design. Usually, with a large group, you run into "too many cooks in the kitchen," but the abundance of clever, parallel challenges meant our group could split into smaller teams and stay fully engaged from start to finish. The production value is incredible; the environment is so responsive that it feels like genuine magic. What really moved us, though, was the hospitality. The Find and Seek staff went out of their way to include a subtle nod to a specific fandom as part of a farewell for someone leaving our team. Their thoughtfulness and organization made the moment work perfectly, taking the experience to a heartwarming personal level we didn't expect. It was fantastic to see everyone collaborating on such creative, tactile puzzles--we are so glad we picked this creative team to host us. They didn't just provide an escape room; they helped us create a lasting memory. 10/10!

They have 6 different escape rooms to choose from, with difficulty levels ranging from beginner to advanced. Our kids did the Pirate Ship room (beginner), Yukon Gold room (intermediate/advanced) and Rabbit Hole room (advanced). They had a great time in all of them. There is a 45 minute time limit to escape the room. Price is around $40/person. Rooms accommodate 2-6 people. No phones or cameras allowed in the rooms. Best to make a reservation online.

Let me just say, it did not disappoint! If you're looking for a throwback '80s arcade vibe, colorful and immersive décor, and some seriously creative puzzles...this is the escape room for you. The staff were all amazing. Super friendly and incredibly helpful (which we definitely appreciated, as our family required more than a few clues along the way). The rooms themselves are intense and hands-on...making you think outside the box, while testing your problem-solving skills (and your family dynamics haha). This one definitely requires dexterity and coordination (with many puzzles needing physical interaction and two or more people working together at the same time). We managed to escape with just 4 minutes to spare and felt like champs. Would do it all over again in a heartbeat. A must do in Whistler!

We were visiting Richmond/Vancouver for the weekend, and while at Costco saw the E-Exit escape…read moreroom. The times for that one didn't work out for us, but we found this place instead. There were only two of us, but we do a lot of escape rooms, so it seemed okay for us to do. There were only two people staffed, and I think one left while we were in the room. The room was really fun, and the mechanisms quite cool! I do love an escape room that has a lot of gadgety-tech things instead of key locks. (This place specializes in electronics and magnets, it seems.) Because the rest of the rooms were still empty and it was still a couple hours prior to closing and we had no other plans AND this escape room was SO cheap esp compared to the ones in SF/Seattle... we decided to just also do the other two rooms XD Both were also very fun! The sacred treasure (? the japanese themed one) had an Extremely Extra mechanism in it. I think the only puzzle(s) I didn't like in the place were a dexterity game (partner had to do it) in the Japanese room and a similar electronic game in the Mayan room. Everything else was very fun to do/interact with. I'd recommend this place for sure! They have some parking out front, which is quite convenient. The staff was super friendly. When we asked about the two hint rule, they did say they weren't all that serious about it. (We didn't use them, but it's good to know!)

My husband and I do escape rooms whenever we go on vacation, so we've done quite a few. I love…read morelocations like Time Escape Vancouver because the owner is really passionate about the industry, the puzzles are unique, and the props are high quality. It was super easy to book one of the escape rooms through the website and you don't have to pay in advance. It was also easy to get to the building and they have a parking lot in front. We were originally going to do "Sacred Treasure", but something was wrong with the room, so we switched to "The Prophecy" instead. The owner was our guide and he explained the rules to us. He also did a great job of checking in on us during the game and giving us hints. We enjoyed our experience so much that we immediately did another room, "Sorcerer's Quest". In the end, I preferred "Sacred Treasure", but both rooms were good. We attempted both rooms with only two people. We needed extra time in order to finish, but I bet a group with more people could escape in time. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience I would recommend this place to others.

X-Grid (30min): 3/5 The game is like lava floor, but the usable space feels limited. It's average for the price. If you enjoy high-intensity movement, you might like it. For now, paying $30 for 30 minutes feels neither great nor bad. Golf Simulator (60min): 4/5 Despite the subpar clubs, it's enjoyable, especially for newcomers. The variety of interactive games makes it worth bringing 3 friends. It's pricey, but the range of games justifies it. Free Roam VR (30min, $30): 4/5 Sound quality and space use could improve, but renting the whole space for VR games with friends is fun. It's cheaper than Sandbox VR, even if the games are accessible via Steam. For 30 minutes, the cost is reasonable. Overall: 3.5/5 The space feels tight and unfocused. Each experience needs refinement. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit, but if you want a bit of everything without traveling far, it's a decent option.

We were looking to do an escape room in the Vancouver area during our trip and luckily, one of my…read morefriends is in a group chat of escape room enthusiasts and they recommended us to try Pandora's Locks. Apparently there are many bad escape rooms around Vancouver but Pandora's Locks is definitely one of the good ones. We were able to reach the owner through the group chat and he offered us to beta test their new room free of charge, which we gladly accepted. We set up the appointment for the 2 rooms, as booking is generally required for escape rooms. The first room we tried that day was their beta testing room, Where's Becky, which is 80s themed in a girl's bedroom. Even though the room only has 1 room, unlike many of the other escape rooms I tried that have multiple areas, the storyline was definitely really interesting and it slowly unfolded as you solve more puzzles. Since the room was still in beta many of the features were unpolished, but it allowed us the opportunity to provide suggestions which was pretty cool. You can definitely tell the owner is really passionate about creating his escape rooms and he prides himself on creating a rich backstory for the setting. He told us he would never put combination locks in his rooms as he wants his mechanics to be interesting. The second room we tried was their most popular room, the Vault 405. The price was $25/person with tax included and they accept credit card. This room is set in a futuristic post-apocalypse vault and you're job is to get the machines to work. Similar to Where's Becky, there is only 1 room in the entire place but there were a lot of puzzles to solve to get to the ending. Some mechanics were cool and overall the puzzles were logical to solve and would lead to the next puzzle. We had to utilize the hint a few times as this room definitely felt more difficult than Becky's, and their policy is that they offer unlimited hints. And how can you end an escape room experience without taking some pictures? They have a few props for you to hold along with a few signs with funny/whitty phrases. Overall the experience was awesome and it was great chatting with an escape room owner who's passionate at creating the best experience for his customers

We also did medieval prison and Aunt Elisa's Inheritance back to back the following day, both fun and challenging but extremely doable; we were able to escape as a team of two experienced escapists. All these rooms are great for both beginners and experienced escape room enthusiasts. The puzzles were very fun and we even had a few puzzles that we've never experienced before and that was very exciting (albeit frustrating during the time LOL). The puzzles itself were great, I do wish that the story line in the rooms flowed a bit more. There were times where the puzzles felt a little random but that's a very small part. The rooms are otherwise very well done. As with most escape rooms, they have a great online scheduling system. You pay when you get there (this was definitely a first for me). Trapped had very competitive pricing, probably the lowest we've ever paid for an escape room of this calibur. Remember to like their Facebook page and share their promo video for a discount! I would highly recommend Trapped! Can't wait for our next trip to Vancouver to do the other rooms they have to offer :)
