Kelly Gabrielson was born and raised in Saskatoon and loves sharing her adoration of the city with anyone who will listen. So I invite you all to try these little adventures in our city, but be warned, they’re highly addictive!! It’s good to identify those things to your team so you’re all on the same page. You might find a key with no lockbox or a lockbox with no key. Scatter and look for clues then bring them to a specified area for review, like a table or desk. And once the game begins, you’ll be too into the hunt to worry about claustrophobia.ġ0. The doors aren’t actually locked behind you, it’s just part of the game. The games are designed for fun, not torture. If you’re worried about being in an enclosed space, don’t be. As with anything, there could be glitches, and using a hint can get you past something that just might not be working.ĩ. It doesn’t count against your time and it’ll often help you out of a jam. Don’t forget to use your lifelines! Every room I’ve tried offers hints. Make sure you shine it in every nook and cranny to search for clues.Ĩ. That usually means it’s required to find something. In some of the rooms, they’ll provide a flashlight or a black light. Might be something you want to look at.ħ. A modem that’s not actually hooked up to a computer? Hmmmm. Is one table leg shorter than the others? Might be a clue under there. You’ll find yourself humming “one of these things is not like the others”. In this type of environment, things are rarely what they seem.Ħ. A presumably blank notebook might have something written on page 241. Remember that it’s not supposed to be impossible to get out, just hard!Ĥ. None of the rooms I’ve tried have things hidden under the flooring or in the ceiling, so don’t try any acrobatics or rip up the carpet. If you have to break something to look inside, guaranteed it’s not in there. Most companies will have some sort of marker to let you know if something shouldn’t be moved, such as a special tape or note, or even gluing items down.ģ. They could be hidden in light fixtures, plants, curtains, drawers…the list is really endless.Ģ. Look everywhere for clues! Seriously, everywhere. While not all escape rooms are created equal, here are 5 tips to help you in your quest:ġ. I think a tie-breaker is in order!Īddress: 103-2750 Faithfull Ave, Saskatoon, SK I’ve tried 2 of the rooms at this location, with a final score of Breakout 1: Kelly 1. Some of their rooms are slightly larger and can accommodate more people, so if you’re wanting to take a large group, they can facilitate you.
I found this highly imaginative and a great addition to the game.īreakout currently has a few great rooms to try. Your name might be part of a puzzle or your birthdate might open a lock. The interesting twist offered by Escape City is that they use details from members of the group as part of the game. They currently offer 3 rooms: The Inheritance, The Cabin, and Keller’s Magic Emporium with plans to expand to 5 rooms. So far I haven’t had to taste anything, thank goodness! Escape City YXEĮscape City is also a newer addition to our fair city, opening its doors in July.
They all use the standard combination locks and coded safes, but some also incorporate the laws of physics and at least 4 of the 5 senses. There are 5 companies currently operating escape rooms in Saskatoon, each with its own unique rooms and playing style. While the theme is usually what will draw people to a specific company or room, it’s the experience inside that will get you hooked into wanting to come back again and again. Each room has its own theme, ranging from a missing Marilyn Monroe to a family squabble over a dearly departed loved ones inheritance, and allow you anywhere from 45 to 75 minutes to make your escape. The premise of a room escape game is simple: you’re locked in a room and you have to find clues and solve puzzles to eventually figure a way out. You pay money to have someone lock you in a room and you have to find your way out? Most people will say no way! But those of us who played the online games (with terrible graphics!) know that a room escape game is more about the journey than the destination, and that idea has created a huge new form of entertainment in Saskatoon. At first glance, it’s a questionable idea.
