It was a really fun rainy day activity even if we didn't solve the problem. Our host was great.

I am Matt, aka ESCAPE MATTSTER! \(^-^)/ LOVE all things…read moreescape room & puzzle game related! OFFICIAL SPEC - Game: The Hot Chocolate Incident - Difficulty: Easy/medium game play (family friendly experience). - Time duration: 60 minutes limit. - Capacity: 2-12 players allowed (3-5 player recommended). Private booking. TL;DR... THE QUICK VERSION - Premise: Jingles the elf poured hot chocolate all over Santa's HQ control panel for his sleigh trip--FIX IT! - "The Hot Chocolate Incident", though a seasonal special, is fun enough for play any time of the year. - Meticulous, clever planning makes all elements of game play feel organic and natural. - The set, even temporary, is constructed with attention to details, looks festively awesome. - Puzzles aren't hard, meant for family, and in short: crafty, slick, and happiness overload. - Challenges are plentiful, have a wide variety, including logic, pattern, and even scavenger hunt. - Avatar fulfills her role with expertise, is humorous, charming, and a theatrical gem. - My subjective thoughts: 2 to 3/10 difficulty (team of 3), ideal team size of 3 to 4. THE TAKEAWAY "The Hot Chocolate Incident" is, by far, one of my favorites, if not the favorite, of all Christmas inspired puzzle games I've enjoyed in the past month. This limited-run option should still run through early parts of 2021, but I wouldn't chance it. Good times don't last forever, and missing something this good? Oh deer. Yule be sorry. So treat yo'elf, and book now. Signing off, ESCAPE MATTSTER \(^-^)/ P.S. Should you have any questions about this specific escape room, or about anything escape room or puzzle game related, feel free to message me! ...I've previously written review(s) for this business before, so if you have the time, why not take a look at what I've discussed in the past to gain an even fuller picture of this establishment? (See below.)

What a fun experience! We successfully completed Legend of the Mayan Ruins, hosted by Alejandra,…read moreand we had a great time! The puzzles were well done and the perfect level of difficulty for the group, and the host explained everything well before we got started. They have two different hint systems, which was helpful in levelling the amount of help needed. It was well put together and I would definitely come back to try another escape room in the future!

A group of 4 of us spent New Years in Kingston and were set on doing an escape room, and thankfully…read moreSherclock's Escapes was open (actually one of the few things open in Kingston during this holiday). They were open by appointment only and we found out that we were the only group for that day, so we appreciated that he opened for us! We could tell that this was a new escape room location, with the only other one in Kingston just across the street, and when we went, there was only one room (The Photo Lab). We were greeted by the super friendly owner and got to chatting about how he started the business etc. We were impressed to find out that he had designed it all himself. The room was really different from ones we had done before in Toronto. Some of the clues were clever, but some of them we didn't catch. In the end, we had to ask for some help because we overlooked some areas. Being this location's first room, it was a fun experience and definitely has potential to become better with the creativity of the owner. I recommend everyone to give it a try and I believe they are looking for beta testers for their next room. Happy escaping!

Tried Sherlock's for the first time last night, only my second time doing an escape room. They've…read moregot three rooms now. It was a great puzzle and The Doctor's Redemption was perfect for two people. Will definitely go back!
