    The Great Escape Halifax is great fun! Having sworn to secrecy I can not say much but it is an experience that everyone should have. .

    This was our very first escape room experience. The staff were friendly and brought us up to speed…read morewith game rules and room backstory in about 4-5 minutes. We tried the contaminated hospital theme and only got stuck twice, but the house allows for two staff hints for this theme. The hints were a bit too direct, in my opinion. I feel there could have been better ways to convey a direction of guidance rather than the staff simply saying 'this is this which goes to this'. The straight-to-the-point 'hints' really broke any sense of immersion and honestly kinda ruined the respective puzzle they were attached to. This is no fault of the general staff; you could tell that they were simply reading from a script. I would highly suggest that whoever writes these scripts should revise them to not spoil the puzzle. All in all, the two of us made it out with time left to spare. It was a good all around visit and provided for a pleasant first escape room visit.

    Hi, I recently celebrated a birthday at Trapped and invited 4 friends to tackle one of their rooms…read more We all were all not sure what to expect but by the end of it we had such an amazing time, that after successfully escaping from their Pyramid room we asked if they had any openings for any of their other rooms. Fortunately the very friendly and attentive staff were able to fit me and my friends in for their hospital room after completing our first room. During these rooms we were given 3 hints and whenever we radio'd in for a hint I believe the staff members were Colton and Devon who were very supportive and encouraging to talk to while working through the puzzles. All in all the Trapped experience went beyond our expectations. It was a lot of fun and I'm sure we will definitely be back to try out there other 2 rooms! Staff are amazing, facility is nice and the rooms are well done that you can feel that you're actually in your scenario. I would 10/10 recommend any work, birthday or casual event with friends to try Trapped you just wont be disappoint and expect a great time. ~DJSM
