Came here on the weekend, and booked for room #057. Went through the procedure with a super nice lady behind the cash and signed our waiver. They have lockers provided to put your bags/sweaters if needed. Did not know all their rooms had a 17% success rate, but we were smart enough to make it out with 30secs left on the clock! Had a lot of fun, and time really flew by. Will definitely come again. read more

We went through the Death Note experience with kids ranging from 10-13. The level of difficulty was just right. The puzzles were engaging and clever. The room was clean, the staff were courteous and helpful. Would want to try other more challenging experiences next time. read more

Trapped - Escape Games Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Fun place. We've done a few escape rooms now and this is one of our favorites. The clues seemed to be a bit more logical than other places. That said we didn't escape unfortunately. I didn't love the dark element of it as it didn't really add that much to the experience and it actually made it a hassle sharing the light. We were in a party of 4.. it would be even worse in a larger party. Staff were great at explaining the setup and clues. Price was reasonable. You get a 10% discount for tagging on social media (not yelp) Price decent read more

Very fun, family friendly, and intellectually stimulating activity! The clues weren't overly complicated, the ambience was good- made me feel like I was in the situation. We were probably in one of the smallest rooms, so there wasn't a lot of walking around or going into different rooms, more so puzzling pieces of information together. Also liked the good customer service provided by the staffs, always smiling and trying hype us up lol, good energy! read more

Came here last minute on a Sunday afternoon as they had some spots available! I think they do all their bookings online or through the phone. It was my friend's birthday so she was able to get a discount, even though it was a week or so after her birthday. Through Yelp, you can even get 10% off! It was a smooth check-in experience, the staff was super friendly and it was relaxing and organized. We had a great experience in the room that we did, there was just two of us and we had one hour and we nearly escaped! The room was fun, storyline was great and the puzzles were challenging. There weren't as many physical puzzles or problems that had to be solved, but more thinking and piecing clues together, and we both enjoyed that a lot. Apparently we did one of the harder rooms, but in the end we were so close to escaping! It was fun, challenging and a great experience! read more

Trapped - CONTAMINATED HOSPITAL (14A) 2-7 PLAYERS - 60 MINUTES You arrived at a remote island to spend a relaxing weekend away from the city... - Escape Games Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Well... I liked it because both times our work team escaped bahahahaha. Escape rooms are great for corporate events and team building, and Trapped has a discount for these occasions ;) We conquered the Ancient Pyramid and Contaminated Hospital in record time... tho we did end up using the two helpful hints each time lol. The only complain I had, like every other Yelper who wrote a review on here, was them not having a timer in the room! Here are some 講咗即係無講 hints to escape these two rooms lmao. Ancient Pyramid - use force (just kidding, please don't) but seriously search thoroughly, and it would be nice to have a music major in your crew lol Contaminated Hospital - use logic, make things work, and it would be nice to have a science major in your crew ;) read more

Staff was amazing and super friendly! We did the DeathNote room and it was really cool but wish there was more difficulty to it. Also recommend turning up the volume on the music because we weren't sure when it started. It would also be cool to have a leader board in the front area to show teams their time to beat and bragging rights if they're on top! But overall, love the level system and looking forward to making it to level 2! read more

I had a really great time at Trapped! Me and a friend did the Contaminated Hospital, and while we were not successful (wah woh!), I did have a great time. I'm going to do this review a little differently.. Pros: convenient location, free parking, nice facilities, Room itself was appropriately decked out with props, mystery was reasonably solvable, discount with pre-booking and FB liking, free drink when you're done! Cons: no timer in the room, walkie-talkie communication for hints was a little hard to understand, was a bit pricey even with discounts. The employees were happy and friendly, I will definitely be coming back to try another room! It's hard to find a room that works with 2 people, and his place has 2 options...bravo to them! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our time here! I went with 3 others and was impressed by the quality of the room that we tried! We did an Egyptian room there were so many details that added to our experience. From the sand under our feet to doors that actually sounded like they were from an Egyptian tomb, this was a much more immersive experience than I've ever had before! The puzzles were a lot of fun and the staff were very friendly. Add to that a free membership that gets you 10% off (and a free drink after your room escape), this was a ton of fun! I'll definitely be going back! read more

As an escape game lover, having been to many escape locations and experienced various types of rooms, I would consider Trapped (Markham) as one of the better ones within Toronto/GTA. So far at Trapped, I have played 3 rooms - Death Note, Ancient Pyramid, and Chaos Effect (Level 2). The general rooms (apart from Chaos) follow similar concepts as any other escape game where clues are everywhere, puzzles mostly being linear or mixed, encompasses different types of locks (alphabets, numbers, etc), and some parts of the rooms to be more high tech. Trapped's general introduction will include getting blind-folded from the entrance and guided into the retrospective room, then only starting with the music ends. Death Note: If it's your first time visiting Trapped, I would recommend anything but Death Note. Essentially it only includes one room, whereas the others have a few connected. Secondly, its simple and the story line is straightforward compared to other rooms which provide a more immersive experience that I felt more enjoyable playing. Ancient Egypt: I enjoyed the design thinking and problem solving elements of this room. Some puzzle triggers even surprised me. Additionally, they even used real sand in this room! One personal advice is to make sure no one moves any original positioning of pieces, or else you might not know how to solve the puzzle anymore. Chaos Effect: This room has a prerequisite and requires at least one member of the group to have completed 3 rooms at Trapped. The gameplay concept is slightly different but you are still focused in solving puzzles, only those puzzles you might need to think more outside the box. This room is more manual-driven from the Trapped staff, so it is only operational when their scheduling is available. I believe Chaos Effect chance of escaping on the first try is super low at 2%, hence many people come again multiple times to advance and escape. We escaped after 2 visits and that's already rare! When doing escape games, I would always stay away from maxing out the party size. In my opinion if a room can accommodate 3-7, the best experience is when there is 4-5 players. Trapped customer service is not the best and I would tie their service with its systems. Because of Chaos Effect and it's Level 2 requirement, I've experienced it first hand. I went with a party of 8 and among us 2 people had already done over 3 escape rooms at Trapped to qualify. But because their record-keeping process is flawed, their system either 1) showed them having played less than what they did, or 2) they didn't even show up in the system. Thankfully (I had to contact them 4 times), the owner personally guaranteed me an email that we should not have any problems when arriving to Trapped on the day and a note will be made on my booking. But even on our arrival, the staff still questioned us and I had to show my email conversation with them as proof. Reason why their system is flawed: 1. You need to have their free Trapped membership card in order to be within their system, but not everyone is proactively asked to get the card nor promoted if it's their first visit. 2. Customers like myself may have completed Trapped escape games prior to when they issued the cards, so visits are not logged in system. 3. Not every visit may have been logged even with the card as no one will confirm with you if you have membership or not. This might be a manual process too. 4. Social media check-in platforms and instructions are confusing. There wasn't much explanation on what you need to do to get the discount. Overall, their escape rooms are relatively good (deserving the 4/5 stars) that everyone should play, but not service and how they interact with customers - whether first visit or multiple visits. read more

My sister in law and niece were in town and we decided to come try this escape room. It was very easy to book online. When you book online you get a discount plus when you check in with yelp you get another discount. When we got there the staff explained everything and gave us a locker key to put our phones or purses inside. They also have a big closet for coats. Once it was our turn, they explained the storyline then blindfolded us to enter the room. Inside there was a list with numbered steps to follow. All you had to do was find numbered stickers to help you. Some steps were easy but others had us scratching our heads. Unfortunately one of the stickers had been removed by a previous player and we lost a lot of time looking for it. We did not succeed our mission, but because we lost a lot of time with the missing sticker, the staff were nice enough to give us a discount for our next visit. read more

Situated in Markham near the Burger King plaza, this quaint little place is the place to go whether it be for friend gatherings, birthday parties, team building for work (if your work is super cool), etc. This location has a few escape rooms including: Medieval Prison, Contaminated Hospital, Ancient Pyramid, Death Note, and AD 2046. Each of these rooms provide you with an hour to escape using pure strategic problem solving. They emphasize to you many times that brute force and wall climbing is NOT needed nor permitted. Each time, you get blindfolded into a room and you are locked in there for 60 minutes and the clock counts down. Each of these games have been very mind-warping and I've been extremely impressed with them thus far. The amount of problem solving required and the brain tricks they pull are just so impressive. The leader of your group carries a walkie-talkie so you get a total of 2 hints throughout the game. Use them wisely. The games are actually quite challenging and we actually have failed the Medieval Prison TWICE. We got so close the second time (the last step), we decided not to repeat it again and did the Contaminated Hospital, which we successfully escaped! Unlike a lot of other escape rooms, this place doesn't cheap out on their decor and realism and they actually make the places as realistic as they can be. The people who run this place are also extremely friendly. Make sure you "Like" their Facebook page and become a member! Members get a special price of $22.00 + HST. If you play 5 games, you unlock a secret room. Good luck, Trapsters! read more

Trapped - Yeah! Success @ the Contaminated Hospital theme! - Escape Games Near Me - Markham, Ontario

My thoughts on escape rooms: "why would you pay to be trapped when you can not pay and be free?" ..and that's why I've never been to one. However, my best friend wanted to host her birthday here so obviously I have to be down to go. Service was extremely friendly and instructions were clear. The room to escape is not just one single room but double or even triple. You can stack discounts but since we were all too lazy to do the Facebook one, we used the Yelp 10% off + an extra promo for booking early. We did the medieval prison one, and I didn't expect to escape just because it was some of our first times in an escape room & the pass rate is 4%... However, our group was composed of all logical thinkers and observant individuals and we figured out how to escape with ease. We successfully completed it just before 40 minutes and damn we were proud! I don't want to give spoilers but you definitely need to look at the "hidden" meaning of everything you find while other blatantly obvious objects laying around are irrelevant even if you think it has something to do with solving a puzzle. Oh, and teamwork sure is important. The decor inside is truly realistic, composing of real hay and rustic looking furniture. It must be amazingly cool to actually build an escape room.. Kudos to the people who did it because you can definitely tell a lot of thought was put into it. Anyway, trapped was challenging but easy at the same time and I am definitely glad it was them who took my escape room virginity. read more

Came to trapped as it was nearby and my boyfriend wanted to go for his birthday. It was free for him as it was his birthday with a valid ID card. Also get another 10% off when you get a membership card. It was $25 and I think it's not worth it if it wasn't free for him. We did the Contaminated Hospital, reading the site info, it seemed interesting but actually being in the room wasn't that great. There was no timer in the room so we didn't know how much time we had left. One thing about that room was that one particular thing wasn't working properly and we didn't know. Wasted a lot of time just waiting for it to work and even walkie talkied the workers but they didn't help much with it, just made us wait and waste our time left in that room. They also didn't set up the room properly and left something unlocked so it messed with the gameplay. After being in multiple escapes room places, this one would probably be my least favourite. Probably won't be back and just stick to the escape room near sheppard west station. read more

I've done all the rooms at trapped, some are definitely better than others. Here the ratings for each: The 2 that are better are Ancient Pyramid and Medieval Prison. Those rooms are both multiroom and the puzzles are a little more interesting. Would give those rooms 3.5 stars. Contaminated hospital was also multiroom, but the puzzles were not as unique and relied on red herrings to prolong the game. 2 stars. Death note was single room and very disappointing. The puzzles were not very good and did not compare the other rooms at trapped. An optional part of the room involved cleaning up the room which seemed to waste alot of the solver's time. 1 star read more

Game to recommend: Ancient Pyramid This is a great location for beginner level room escapers! We came in a group of 4 and tried the Ancient Pyramid. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and would recommend it for people that have never played room escapes before. The Game Master was super helpful in explaining the rules prior to the game. Without giving away too much, I loved the way this team has designed the game. There were interesting puzzles to solve throughout and no cheap gimmick tricks. The decor was very authentic and helped a lot to bring the game to life. We were allowed one clue within the one hour slot. I would definitely use the clue if you are absolutely stuck on the game. Since we successfully escaped, we were awarded with soda drinks and one picture taken right in front of their front desk. Location: There are plenty of parking spaces at the back. They have small lockers (think of gym size lockers) available for people to store their personal belongings and cell phones which are forbidden inside the game. Within the premise, our game area was isolated from other game areas so you actually don't hear other escapers screaming or yelling on the other side. Reservation and Game Time: The online reservation system worked pretty well for my group and we didn't have to call in beforehand to confirm the booking. I would try to come in at least 15 minutes early to avoid losing time for the escape room and allow sufficient time for the game introduction. read more

Came here to do a smaller escape room since there was two people. The overall escape room can be improved in regards to the look of it, would be more fun to have a more realistic feel. Trapped is one of the more smaller types of escape rooms. read more

We had a lot of fun. I wasn't sure what to expect but working as a family to figure it out was a great bonding experience. We will definitely do it again. read more

Located in front of FMP, Trapped is the most intense and highest quality room escape that our group has tried. The price is a little over $25, after using their promotion of checking in on fb, which is pricier than most rooms but it is definitely worth it IMO. The rooms themselves are insane. If you're an experienced room-escapee you'll know what I mean about all the cool technology that Trapped has. Moving doors, lasers, physical puzzles, etc. The list goes on but Trapped has so many cool features in all their rooms that it makes the room so amazing and interactive. The downside for being a noobie and trying Trapped is, you'll most likely fail the mission since their success rate is around 5% - 10%. But that's ok because Trapped isn't going anywhere and you can always try again or try some easier places first to gain some experience. A lot of escape rooms have similar puzzles that once you understand once you can use the same logic in all rooms, kind of hard to explain but you'll know when you know. Trapped is easily the best escape venue our group has been to and we've left amazed every time! Give it a try if you haven't already and you won't be disappointed. Just make sure you've been to a good amount of escape places already though, it'll help a lot! :) read more

First time coming to Trapped on my birthday. Will list out some pros and cons: Pros: - friendly staff, welcoming team - free water/juice/pop for members that sign up with their membership (also free and 10% off for the game) - FREE GAME for the BIRTHDAY PERSON with valid ID Cons: - no clock inside the escape room (we were in contaminated hospital) - timer starts when you hear the music. Our music wasn't working for a good 4-5 minutes and we had to walkie talkie in to ask. Could not engage roughly how much time was lost because of that - helper wasn't as responsive for when asking how much time remaining. We were put on hold for a good while and didn't up getting told how much time we had left They charged $25 after all the discount - we were in the contaminated hospital room. I would say there are only 2 rooms inclusive of the one you start in. The storyline (if you care) doesn't actually flow with why you are actually in the hospital to begin with. Puzzles were more difficult but I suppose it is needed for a room with only 2 rooms. All in all, I think there are some better rooms I've played in that ultimately means hard to give a fantastic rating for this one. read more

My time visiting Trapped was the second time I had ever been to an escape room. The first time was at a super sketchy hole in the ground escape room business in downtown Toronto's Chinatown and it seems the place is out of business now. No surprise. Anyhow, Trapped was a really great experience in comparison. It's quite big, clean, and very professional. On another tangent, the brother of one of my Ex's apparently owns one of the biggest escape room facilities in Canada so I really should visit there one day! So, the point of this story is that Trapped on Highway 7 is a solid experience that I would suggest for anyone who has any interest in escape rooms! read more

This was my first Escape room and it was pretty fun but was a little disappointed at the number of rooms in the game I did. The one I did, there were only two rooms which I was hoping for more. I did it with three people and we were able to complete the game with 15 minutes to spare. Maybe we chose the easiest one as the amount of details placed in each room was very minimal as compared to the other escape rooms I have been to. Had I known about the other escape rooms earlier and knew how this one was going to be laid out, I would have opted out of this one. read more

I've done all the escape rooms at Trapped except for Chaos Effect (only because I've been going with different groups to do each room), and their rooms are pretty good. Out of all of the rooms, I liked the Ancient pyramid the most. I found the other rooms had typical puzzles and locks that I've seen from other locations. However, I did like the theme and atmosphere of the other three rooms here. I hope to return once I find a group of people who have also completed all of the rooms and can do the Chaos Effect room! read more

My party of 4 successfully escaped the "Contaminated Hospital' room and honestly, I wasn't too impressed by it. For sure, it wasn't a bad experience and I actually thought it was thrilling when they blindfolded us in the beginning to lead us into the room. However, as this is not my first rodeo with escape rooms, there was just something about the design of the puzzles that didn't sit quite right with me. I wouldn't say there were flaws, but it just wasn't.. as smooth and well transitioned as other rooms I've been to. The staff were very nice and helpful throughout the entire experience but sorry-not-sorry, I really don't buy into the "4.8% success rate" that the employees so adamantly emphasized. I genuinely don't believe that out of 20 groups that play, only 1 escapes (seeing as my group and the group before us were successful, that's already 2/2 in my eyes). read more

Okay, I'm not going to pretend like I'm a huge expert when it comes to these escape rooms (this was only my third one) but I will say this is one of the better ones I've been to, and probably the most interesting in terms of the theme, decor, etc. As an example, and I hope I'm not giving away too much here, but my friends and I tried the Ancient Pyramid room and there was real sand in the room, which was pretty cool! The room we did was pretty challenging, and unfortunately we didn't pass. :( It wasn't like unreasonably challening though, so I thought the tasks we had to do were pretty fair. It's a little pricier than other places, around $25 after tax, and this is after we got a 20% discount for liking their FB page and also for a holiday promo. I guess it is worth it for the experience though, since it's not like this is just some tiny room in a basement or anything. The rooms are quite big, and ours was actually three rooms connected together. The staff at Trapped were also great, and were all very friendly and cheerful. They also give you a free drink (water and pop) after your game session! I would definitely return to try one of their other rooms! Apparently they also update their rooms every few months with new tasks, which is good because then you can come back and redo the same theme but have a totally different experience! read more

Fabulous experience, great staff. Puzzles were extremely difficult. Apparently these guys have a 4.6% success rate; my group succeeded with less than 3 seconds on the clock! Can't wait to go back. read more

Trapped - Escape Games Near Me - Markham, Ontario

The best escape rooms involve genuinely clever puzzles and make you feel exhilarated, even if you don't end up escaping successfully. Escape rooms with lazy puzzles amongst far too many red herrings, and involving broken equipment make you feel weary and frustrated even as you're just starting the room. Unfortunately, this was the case with the Death Note room. We had a general awareness of the concept, but none of us were fans of the anime, so references to the original story were lost on us. Perhaps that background information is needed in order to really appreciate the homage to the source material. In general this room was frustrating because of [spoilery warning:] the incredibly high amount of false leads, due to the amount of objects in the room. Red herrings should be relatively easy to rule out and overlook, but if you have shelves of likely over 100 items that can be flipped through and read, it's an effective way of wasting time, but it's just not a clever or satisfying way to stump people. There was one piece that fit so well with what we were trying to find near the end, only to be told that it has nothing to do with any of the puzzles, and I couldn't believe it. Regarding the faulty equipment, without giving specifics, a clue was hidden within a piece of equipment that we spent a lot of time on until we asked about it and was told it wasn't working properly. The staff claimed it had never happened before, and we were given an extra 5 minutes because of it. A particularly irritating part of the atmosphere of the room was that they played music (presumably from the anime) that was loud enough to be distracting on repeat throughout the hour. There was also another aspect that was incredibly hard to hear and decipher- again, not clever, just annoying. Additionally in the waiting room, there were no board games or activities available so as we were asked to come 15 minutes early, we spent most of that time watching 2 incredibly repetitive Trapped commercials looping over and over. Ideally, you and your group should be talking about how tricky the puzzles were after you leave, not how frustrating the experience was. We did the latter. read more

Had an awesome time doing the Chaos Effect escape room! We didn't finish this time bit we'll be back next time to finish!!

Room escapes have definately taken off here, espeically here in the GTA. Trapped is definitely one of the more interesting ones - which seems to strive for a bit more authenticity than some of the other ones I have been to the point, where I managed to get a bit of "hay" fever in the room I was "trapped" in. The puzzles were fun and but I found that Trapped produced a great atmosphere, but some of the puzzles that were in the room were a little frustrating - and the hints that were given, didn't provide enough guidance to really give a good enough hint. I thought some of the puzzles were more interesting than others. I would have preferred more physical puzzle solving versus the more cerebral ones that were in the room. However the thing is with these "Escape Rooms" is your experience is, often, heavily dependent on the company you are with as well. Where Trapped managed to differentiate themselves from the rest of the competition, so to speak, is that they have a member loyalty program; which is free to join, and more or less tracks your visits to Trapped. The Loyalty program includes a drink (a can of pop or water); plus if you and your group visit more than 3 times, you get a chance to try your luck at their "boss" room. read more

So after going to Origin and being terribly disappointed, we decided to try another escape room right after. And since we only spent $10 on Origin, we felt like there was nothing to lose. We got a 10% discount for booking ahead (either online or by phone), and they have a membership card you can use to collect points. You can use this too for the 10% and a free drink. Wow, I was really impressed. The staff there were friendly and great. The experience from beginning to end was awesome, and I think this puts them overtop of Omescape staff. The quality of the room was great! We did the Medieval Prison room and were told there was zero tech in there cause, well, there was no tech back in the 1300's. At first, I wondered if it was going to be any good, since these days, many rooms rely on tech to make it seem cooler. It was pretty good even without any tech! The puzzles were good too, they were hard but they made sense. We were allowed to use two clues (which we used) and we still could not get out.. but damn, we were really close. The success rate of this room is something like only 4% so I guess I don't feel SO bad that we couldn't get out. We were offered a free pop or juice after since we'd checked in on Facebook. I'd definitely come back to try another room here. read more

The room was challenging which was good but customer service is only so-so. The employee forgot/lost the key and we had to wait quite awhile get into the building. This espace room cost more then any other in the GTA, the purges range from $12-22 and this ones at $28 on regular price. Not sure if the extra couple bucks is worth it considering that the customer service isn't fantastic. read more

Trapped has always been my go to place for room escapes because of its convenient location (albeit its hard to find the first time) and challenging and well designed rooms. The staff are super friendly too. Out of the three rooms I've tried (completed 2/3) I found that the clues were well meshed with the room's setting, and there's always that one or two challenging steps that REALLY required thinking out of the box. It's well worth signing up for a membership card which will give you small perks as well as access to the secret "boss" room if you've done three rooms in the past. An issue I had though, was understanding some of the staff's instructions over the walkie talkie when we asked for our two hints. Overall, Trapped is a great room escape place if you're looking for some challenging, high tension room escape with friends. read more

My group did the room Death Note. Death Note room was neatly put together according to the anime; however, I felt like it was just a decorated/fancier version of ESC-IT. Without spoiling anything, some puzzles in there are well-done, but the rest seemed rather underwhelming. Although I must say, you don't need to have seen the anime in order to play the room (they will summarize it a bit for you), but it is a bonus if you have seen it, I would recommend to bring at least one person who knows a bit about it. One thing I did like about the place was that the staff there that day was very friendly and enthusiastic about the experience; which made it a lot better/interesting and added to the positive part of the escape room experience. read more

Our group of 4 had a lot of fun at Trapped this past weekend. We did the Medieval Prison room and it was really well-themed. We were led into the room blindfolded, which really helped to add to the mystery. The clues were really, really challenging. I feel like they should give 3 hints, instead of just 2. The hints were also given to us in a code-like way, so they didn't really help that much. Plus, we weren't given an update on how much time had lapsed. It really would've helped us to use our hints better if we had known how much time we had left. Overall though, it was a lot of fun and if you're in the area, you should give it a go. read more

super fun place! I have been here a couple of times and with my friends and families. Perfect opportunity to use some detective skills

Friendly staff and have promotions when you like their Facebook page as well as check in through yelp. We did the Medieval time which the success rate is 4% only... Very fun and challenging and will definitely be back! read more

place was great!!! i went with a group of my friends and everything was brand new and bigger than some of the other places we've tried. Trapped definitely have put more time and effort in their games so def worth a try! When we first stepped in there were 4 people ready to help us and explain all the instructions. The staff were very welcoming and the backstories were definitely interesting. As clear instructions were given to us step by step, we quickly gotten the hang of it as it was our first time. we had only 2 hints which was reasonable and enough to finish each room. We had chose the contaminated hospital which stood out. We had used both of our hints in the end as the staff, one girl who gave clues that were descriptive lead to the next stages which also did not give the answer away at the same time. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking to go with a group of friends book ahead! read more

So I finally got to try out a room at Trapped and I was quite underwhelmed. Location: Conveniently located across from Woodside square and First Markham Place, there was plenty of places in the area to kill time if you are early (especially because the waiting area had almost no room and there was nothing to do). Staff: The staff was alright. Some were warm and very nice, whereas some seemed a bit harsh and terse with the way they spoke. And at one point, while asking for a hint, one gentleman seemed to imply that we lucked out on getting out without solving their whole room, but really, it was a flaw in their design, so it was quite annoying to be accused like that. Room: We did Medieval Prison and the ventilation in that room is awful. I should've known something was up with the room when the previous participants came out coughing and wheezing. When they are briefing us on the room they mention that they can provide masks to those with a hay allergy. The hay isn't the problem, it's the amount of dust that's in there that had me cough for 2 days following. In addition, it was so warm that it did not help with our breathing. In regards to the room (without giving too much away) it is straight forward for the most part but there's a few gaps that make the clues quite far reaching and I can see why the success rate is so low. We were a party of 6 (which I don't believe was even the maximum), and that felt like too many people. Overall, it was an okay, low-tech room. read more

The bread and butter of an escape room is the quality of their puzzles. Both times I've been here I've been stuck on a puzzle towards the end, and being unable to solve it, the staff would come in and explain to you. I swear, both times in my head i was thinking 'What the heck?'. I've been to so many escape rooms around town and I just don't follow some of the though processes of these puzzles. That aside, I do praise Trapped for being a clean, well managed facility with a number of rooms. I've never encountered another escape room with a medieval theme so that was definitely refreshing. I can see effort in their props but sometimes the room can feel a bit barren because nothing else in the room is interesting. For example, when a small group is figuring out a lock, I should be able to look around the environment and be fascinated by the details. I don't find any of that here. Trapped is conveniently in a almost standalone plaza with a lot of free parking. read more
