Historical Escape Room Review

Now that the library will be running a new "Adult and Teen Escape Room" I can review the Historical Escape room that I and Ro did last year!

The story was something like: The Haunted Hills Historical Society left a tomb of the first librarian open and if you can't solve the puzzles in time her ghost will be doomed to haunt the library FOREVER! I know it was going to be good when the story was available online and includes the "terrible" pun "Haunted Hills Historical Society" LOL.

Honestly, the entire experience was really excellent, we said 10/10 at the time. It honestly felt like I was in one of my adventure games but in real life! There was even music playing! The whole thing took place in the historical room and a lot of the puzzles were themed around this.

Even though they probably won't be doing the same Escape Room in the future they do seem to sometimes reuse good puzzle ideas, so I won't spoil anything about puzzles.

Overall I and Ro had a blast, the upcoming one involves a strange virus spreading across Halton Hills and you have to stop it! I won't be able to tell you about it, till after they change again but based on my experience with the last one, I suggest you try it. The library also has a family Escape Room but it sounds like it's for a younger audience.

Ro, if you want to add your thoughts, feel free to email me.

Stay tuned cause OTAM will be here at the end of the week!

UPDATE: I've done the new Escape Room! It was designed by the same person as the first and was as good as the first! This second one is probably more fun cause there is more story.

UPDATE-Dec-2019: They seem to be doing lots of new Escape Rooms but I don't feel like reviewing any of them when they retire since I feel the experience is similar to what I wrote about here.
