Finally getting around to reviewing the Spectre Upstairs theatrical escape room that we did in October. I had never done a theatrical escape room before so we weren’t sure what to expect. But I was absolutely blown away by literally every second of this experience. The intro scene really set the tone for the story and I loved the way the story was made specifically for the venue. It really added to the immersive quality of the event and that, along with the great use of costumes and props, really helped us lose ourselves in the experience. The actors were incredible, each one was both hilarious but somehow still flawlessly in character the whole time. It’s tough to choose a favourite. We have done quite a few escape rooms and I was surprised that with everything else going on, the puzzles in this experience were still really challenging, unexpected, and occasionally unapologetically whimsical in the best possible way. I hadn’t anticipated the way that having actors involved really changes the game for what’s possible with puzzles. I had initially thought the tickets were a bit on the expensive side, but after seeing the meticulous level of detail that went into every aspect and the flawless experience design that went into running such a professional event with so many people solving puzzles simultaneously and yet not being in each other’s way, it was worth every penny. In fact, it might be tough to go back to regular rooms now!

16yo daughter came with friends for birthday. First escape room without any adults and they all had a blast! They escaped with 2 hints. I sat and waited for them and staff were very friendly. The kids want to go back now and try one from the next difficulty level.

What an awesome place... we had so far played only on the phone apps so were very excited but skeptical about real experience ... read the reviews here, called them and went ahead ... me and my wife visited with our 5 yr old... First, they considered the our state, recommended the find the jewel game which is Novice level yet challenging... gave us great price.. But when we reached, the real thing started.. the game master girl was ausum. Welcoming, helpful... the place was cozy, safe .. when we entered the room, the puzzles were really challenging, the game master helped just enough to keep us going.. it was so much fun, even my 5 yr old helped and enjoyed ... We are still talking about the experience, I recommend to every enthusiast.

I visited Amaze with my family to do the Tesla escape room. We liked it so much we went back the same day to do the Cabaret Voltaire room! The styling and decoration of the rooms is outstanding. So much attention has been paid to details and it really pays off. The Tesla room is complex but allows players to work on different things at the same time. We escaped with one minute to spare with four of us playing, so definitely a good test for the brain! Had we known, I wish we had done the Cabaret room first as it was a little easier and we escaped after 30 minutes. But we loved both rooms anyway! The owner (I've forgotten his name!) was working there and chatted to us a lot about Calgary, about the games and even about his methods for building them. It definitely added to our experience. He also had his gorgeous dog in reception which just made the whole day even better!! Such a cutie :) We had a brilliant time, and left feeling like we'd achieved something awesome! Good work Amaze - you've got it just right.

By far the most incredible and top notch escape rooms we have ever been to! The quality and production value of rooms and all the designs are really fantastic. We have only done two rooms, but will definitely be back to do a bunch more. The tasks and puzzles and clues were great and well thought out with links to the theme! I know my family all enjoyed them and my face hurt from smiling! Also the lounge area and drinks available were really good.
