There are five different Escape Hour

Senator’s battle, Five lives, Five elements, Bank heist and the Matrix movie themed escape room. Based on the interests of the family members the family can choose any quest room in Edmonton. It is also advisable to consider the difficulty level of the escape room, the Senator’s battle is considered the easiest escape room, ideal for those who have never played any escape game earlier. In comparison the Bank heist is rated the most difficult game. Five lives is an action escape game, combining puzzle solving with physical activity.

For each escape room, the team playing the game has to find clues, solve puzzles and search for information which will help them exit the room within sixty minutes. Like the Escape Hour escape rooms in Calgary, the escape rooms in Edmonton are designed after extensive research, paying attention to details, so playing a game is a very immersive experience for the players. There are no padlocks in the room, players can exit the room any time they wish for greater safety. For each game, there is a dedicated game master, who is closely monitoring the players and will help them with clues if they feel that they are not making much progress.

Families or other groups who have already planned a trip to the City centre mall for shopping and other activities should know that Escape Hour is located on the third floor in the eastern part of the mall. They can book a slot for the escape game of their choice online at the Escape Hour website and plan their trip to the mall accordingly. Playing the escape game will usually take ninety minutes, since the team players should arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled start, so that they are briefed by the gamemaster about the game rules. After the game over, the gamemaster will again debrief the team.
