Reviews
The experience was really fun, the decorations was nice and I enjoyed exploring the castle map. You can go there with your eyes closed you won’t regret it
We had a great experience here this evening! The room was well designed with some interesting challenges that were novel even to experienced escapers. I'm docking a star because there was no encouragement to patrons to avoid talking about their room as they were leaving while others were waiting. Also, staff were giving hints to other escapers while we were waiting for our room in our full hearing. We hummed and plugged our ears to avoid listening but it would have been more pleasant without that distraction! It would also be fun if the waiting area has some game distractions like checkers, Jenga, cards, etc to keep you amused while waiting. Main takeaway: the room was well designed, challenging, and fun, the price was fair, and we had a good time 👍🏻.
We booked our tickets online couple of hours before. There are plenty of options with various difficulty levels to choose from. We decided to go for the Cabin in the Woods.
Jigsaw is located right next to Zaks Dinner. There are stairs that leads downstairs, jigsaw is located on the right. It’s dark and mysterious in there. You sign a waiver and are taken to your room. They provide a brief story of what took place.
Cabin in the woods, was a dark room. You have the option to be hand cuffed. We had a blast in there. We were definitely challenged for sure. We certainly took advantage of the unlimited clues.
The youngest in the crowd was 13, we had a great time with the family. Highly recommend.

I had just went there a day ago for my birthday and the experience was nothing short of amazing! The room was genuinely tough but a lot of fun, very creative set pieces and unexpected connections. Clue after clue everything made sense and flowed nicely, sometimes forcing you to think outside the box. We ALMOST made it! It was a whole lot of fun. Not only that but the staff was just perfect. Very understanding, nice and just charming. As my first Escape Room experience, this is definitely something I’ll never forget. I’ll definitely go again someday!
Very friendly staff at this location. The production value of the rooms is excellent as are the majority of the puzzles. We played the The Pirate's Code and The Cabin in the Woods and had a blast. There was at least one puzzle in each game that I didn't feel like it had a logical way of coming to the solution, which brings down my rating slightly. Still a great experience and we'll be back to try the rest of the rooms.
My wife and I and our 2 adult children recently did the Jigsaw escape room and really enjoyed it. The rooms are challenging but they don't have a lot of false clues that you sometimes get stuck wasting time on, which we liked. It's also next door to Dal Maros, which is a delicious Italian take out place and Zak's, which has awesome milkshakes. It's right around the corner from the Ottawa sign.
LOVED the escape room I did here! I was so impressed by the puzzles. They were so imaginative and set the vibe of the room super well. The rooms at this place are definitely refreshingly challenging for seasoned escape room-ists. Not to mention the staff was excellent and so excited for us to tackle our room! 10/10
Came here with 4 kids to take advantage of their weekend special. FANTASTIC! Kids were busy the whole time, having a blast! Pizza was awesome! Very clean, staff very attentive. Great way to kick off spring break!! Thank you!! ❤️
Great space good acoustics... Great venue for women international day
I hadn't been to the Vic for years. It is all volunteer run now and is better than ever.
It was great experience at jigsaw escape room yesterday. We had a lot of fun that we ended up booking the other room consistently. The staff working there is decent and disciplined. Would definitely go there again. Must recommend to go with friends.
We have enjoyed Big Time Murder's Codfather and Silence of the Hams performances for a small group and a big group. Both times were loads of fun from a hilarious, professional production company. Their Silence of the Hams show for my wife's surprise birthday at a restaurant was really well coordinated and everyone was entertained and involved. My wife said she can't remember the last time she laughed so hard. If you are looking for an idea for a corporate event or a birthday party/anniversary/etc., I'd highly recommend Big Time. They are truly a class act.
This is one of the best venues we've had a birthday party at. We didn't know what to expect upon arrival, but everything was a breeze & we didn't have to worry about anything. Just enjoy our child's birthday and take it all in! The staff were extremely organized and on top of it! Everything was planned and timed perfectly. They gave all our group popcorn in their own bowls & came around multiple times to make sure they got refilled. They even helped serve the kids their food and drinks. For the laser tag, they come and gathered the kids to bring them inside the laser tag arena. It's so nice because I was expecting having to run through there to watch our large group, which wasn't the case at all! They served pizza for dinner. I didn't have high expectations for it, but it was actually very good! They also brought in cupcakes from Sweet Impressions for dessert. So you literally don't have to bring a thing except yourselves and some goody bags! The venue was kept very clean and well ran. We left there very impressed and look forward to coming back!
We had my son's 9th birthday party there. It was a blast. Lol. The service was great, and the games were excellent. It's nice to just show up and let someone else host. No set up or take down. Would recommend 100%
Thought screen would be small but it was pretty decent and sound was great. Had an amazing experience watching Godzilla minus one.
Only way to know this place is restricted to 19+ ? Take the bus for 45 min, wait 10 more minutes for them to serve a couple and being rejected at the entrance. No info on the website, of course, it would be too hard to mention it...
Incredibly accommodating for group parties. Not only that, but accommodating for each child's needs. Highly recommend for children.
Plenty of new age arcades with points for prizes loaded on play cards.
Don't forget, No running in laser tag!
All the partiers had a blast!

Went to see The Sound of Music sing along a few weeks ago. It's was so so good!!!! And just when I thought I was the only sound of music nerd lol. The theater is beautiful and clean, and the bathroom stalls have some funny pics of the Queen 👸 😄 lol. There is a small concession stand. It's an older theater, so if you're short and a tall person sits in front of you, you're out of luck. I got lucky, also, the screen is high enough to lean back and enjoy. Lots of leg room and the chairs were comfy. I was sitting for three hours. The parking is the only setback. Had to walk a ways for a parking garage. Share a cab it's cheaper. It was super cheap to see this show! I was thrilled. Highly recommend this theater. Lastly, the employees were smiling and were super friendly and helpful. Ty Vic Theater!
Really funny! Whole team had a great time. The MMT team was great, punctual and courteous. We had a group of 25 for our staff Christmas party.
This is an IMPOSSIBLE place to NOT have fun! The laser tag and arena itself is so good everybody just wants to play it again. The arcade games are sweet and pretty affordable. There isn't a lot of staff but somehow they managed to keep the place clean and organized. The food is delicious.
My only complaint is the laser tag guns. They don't really have a grip and can slip off or scrape/burn your hands easily.
Thank you to the staff at LaserTopia!

After visiting over 20 escape rooms worldwide, including several in Canada, I began to feel somewhat disillusioned with the Canadian offerings. Many seemed lackluster, featuring unrealistic riddles that seemingly encouraged multiple visits to the same room. The decor was often mundane and overly simplistic. However, my experience at Casa Loma was a delightful exception. It's more than an escape room—it's an immersive adventure.
I visited with my family and we reserved the entire room for 'Dragon's Song.' The decor was nothing short of breathtaking, transporting us to what felt like a magical realm. The riddles were not only creative but also enjoyable, and I was particularly impressed by the integration of technology, which added an exciting dimension to the experience.
What truly set this experience apart were the live actors. Their presence transformed the escape room into something akin to live theater, providing a uniquely engaging and interactive experience. Their skillful acting and subtle way of providing hints and progressing the story were commendable.
We opted to book the entire room for 'Dragon's Song,' which made for a fun, family bonding activity. While I'm curious about the dynamic of playing with strangers, the potential challenge it presents is an interesting prospect in itself. Overall, Casa Loma's escape room was a fabulous experience, and I highly recommend it to both novices and enthusiasts alike.

Would not recommend.
First, they try to explain the basic rules of the rooms, but there's a loud speaker playing pop music literally right in our ears while the guy explains everything. We told him we couldn't hear him, he did nothing to accommodate.
They make you play with strangers. I don't know these people, and now I have to workout puzzles with them? Every other room I've ever done has been with my group only. One booking, one group. We've never been mixed in with other groups.why would anyone want this? Other people are the worst.
You don't get to do the entire escape room, because they break everyone off into smaller groups. If you finish your area then you can join another group to help them with their puzzles, but you have no idea what they are working on and have to be brought up to speed.
The actors do a good job, and I have nothing against them, but I hate that they are there, watching the entire time. It feels like someone is reading over my shoulder. Why am I paying for this?
Worst escape room in the city. Hands down. I Would never recommend this experience for anyone, ever.

I had such an incredible time doing the Dragon's Song escape room, and will definitely be looking into booking one of their other rooms in the future! The actors were incredible, and the style of comedy was perfect for the theme of the room. The puzzles were also really great! Just challenging enough to make you think without having to stress about the time limit, and great to split everyone into groups working on whatever catches their eye. Genuinely a 10/10 experience, no notes, keep up the good work everyone <3 !
GO TEAM DAN!!
GO TEAM DAN!!
We were a group of six and we had a blast!! The Murdoch Mysteries puzzles were clever and challenging, and the actors played their parts extremely well, all the while encouraging us as we zipped around solving the conundrums at hand. It was so much fun!! We are happy to recommend Casa Loma Escape Rooms, and we would definitely be excited to try our hand at another soon.
Great show for our Christmas Party ! Loved that we had our own staff involved in the performance and Brandon was incredible the entire night from leading the show to engaging with our team. Would definately have them again for another party !
Excellent entertainment
We had them at our company Christmas party for Zenetec Collision Centre and everyone loved the murder mystery show. They incorporated our own staff into the show which is really what made it so memorable and funny!!
Fantastic place. Great customer support, the staff is a bit stretched thin but still did a solid job of operating the place smoothly despite it being a busy weekend day.
Food and drinks were good. Overall value is great. Pricing on the arcade machines is fair to better then average.
Would go again with the kids.

What a cool place! A good reason to head into town. The staff are a delight. BEER! FilmCAN looks like a cool family thing to check out.
Had SO much fun doing the King of the Bootleggers experience!! The setup of the rooms and actors made it feel like a real speakeasy set in the 20s. The actors were very considerate and gave us the right amount of clues to nudge us towards the right direction, while still leaving us challenged. We did not escape in time but we were close and enjoyed every second of the process. My group came dressed up for the theme but there are also some props at the end for photo opportunities!
Would recommend these escape rooms to everyone and will definitely be back to try the other rooms.

This is a great small house movie theatre. It is a common venue for independent and art films, so be sure to check for their current offering. A small concession stand and washrooms along with a small lobby make for a good spot away from the crowds.
My group had an amazing time with Murder Mystery Toronto. My group was pleasantly surprised with the jokes, acting and professionalism. Would 100% recommend!
Murder Mystery Toronto delivered a fantastic performance! Grateful to Pete who made the booking seamless, and to Michelle and Lars for facilitating the show. Our birthday event was made truly special and memorable for all our guests. Thank you.
Excellent cast - very funny. Audience loved them! Can't wait to have them back to our venue. Very organized and well put together.
I had an absolutely amazing time at the King of the Bootleggers escape room. It was very immersive with the characters, costumes and great acting. The escape room was rather challenging, but not enough where you would be stuck or have a bad time. I will definitely be back to try out the other escapes. There’s also an opportunity for photos at the end with props which was great!
A very fun, creepy experience! Where Dark Things Dwell is one of the most unique escape experiences I’ve ever participated in. The puzzles are challenging but there are very helpful hints available should you need them! The whole experience leans toward creepy rather than scary but be warned, you will be expected to enter pitch black building with no idea wait awaits inside… (A big thank you to the actors, specifically the one playing the role of Sam, for ensuring comfort of our team when a member started to get too frightened , all while staying in character the whole time!) If it is at all rainy/humid on the day of your experience, I would highly recommend wearing boots because the village does get a little muddy in the rain! Overall, a 10/10 experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone!
I had an absolutely fantastic time at Where.Dark Things Dwell at Black Creek Pioneer Village! The attention to detail in the props, sets, and costumes was truly exceptional and helped create an immersive experience that truly made me feel like I was part of the story. The characters were all wonderful and brought the experience to life, adding an extra layer of excitement and intrigue. Overall, the execution of this escape room was top notch and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a thrilling date night or family night out!

We were in a group of 6 and had a lot of fun during the experience. The experience was interactive, eerie and quite challenging at times. only 2 of 10 teams were successful in completing the full challenge. I would definitely recommend this game to others!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Big Time Murder Productions for our team building event, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, it was an absolute blast!
The entire production was top-notch. The team at Big Time Murder Productions delivered a captivating and hilarious performance that had everyone laughing throughout the entire event. It was not just team building; it was a team bonding experience like no other.
Their attention to detail, creativity, and the way they engaged our group was truly impressive. It's not easy to keep a diverse team entertained, but they managed to do it flawlessly. The actors were not only talented but also incredibly friendly and approachable.
Big Time Murder Productions made sure every team member felt included and part of the experience. Our team left with unforgettable memories and strengthened connections.
I can't thank Big Time Murder Productions enough for their outstanding work. If you're looking for a unique and entertaining team-building experience, look no further. I highly recommend them. Thank you for making our event a memorable success!

The Where Dark Things Dwell experience at Black Creek Pioneer Village is INCREDIBLE! So clever, creepy, and challenging. Went with experienced escape room visitors, and they were blown away, too. Absolutely recommend this! And the actors are all fantastic. All staff were so great. Thanks for the fun!
Performers (Lars & Brandon) were fantastic. Highly recommend this interactive show. Office (Pete) was very helpful and understanding when I booked the wrong date for my event and had only 8 days to scramble and get performers. They saved my skin and saved the event. This is not a fly-by-night operation and the show is worth every penny.
Saturday September 23 at 9:00pm - The date of my first experience. While walking out of the establishment without being victorious, my friends and I were quite enamoured with our overall experience. The staff and actors were great and helped us feel immersed into the game. Not only this game didn’t beat off the escape room path, the inclusion of the outdoors was a welcome addition. Going to different houses, picking up the different resources, and solving the different riddles was amazing.
The only thing that we all agreed upon was that it was collectively difficult.
But don’t be discouraged, it was an amazing experience to do with anyone!
Be ready to be scared!

So much fun, a bit spooky, challenging puzzles, cool location, interesting story, and good actors. The puzzles were very well done, letting you explore the whole town to slowly build it all together, and a lot of work and creativity went into the puzzles to make them. I was in one of the two groups that got to the end that night, mine being first. Kinda upsetting that our group got nothing (a ribbon saying "you win" or something would have been nice), but other then that, it was a great experience and I wish I could forget all the solutions and go again.
Very challenging but a ton of fun! A great variety of puzzles. Staff/actors were interactive and made it even more fun. We had great weather, so that helped. Over a dozen puzzles to solve so best to do in larger group and split up!
Silvio and his band were phenomenal to work with and we’re beyond incredible! Their sound, repertoire and overall service was beyond!! They made our wedding hit a higher level of amazing!! We highly recommend them and their decor company! They did our chuppah and aisle runner and it was better than we could have ever imagined!! Only amazing things to say about them! Highly highly recommend!!! Don’t miss out on having the best band and decor services!!
Wow, this escape room was next level. No comparison to any others I've done before. The actors for King of the Bootleggers were just incredible. They really made the experience memorable, and the reason we want to return to do the others! Give it a try, it's great fun!
Oh my god, the best thing I did for my wedding was to choose this band, leave everything to them and get the best result.I wish I could give them more than five stars.They planned everything for my wedding, they are a completely professional group, don't hesitate at all and don't think about anything else. It is totally worth it. I thank all of them, especially Silvio, who was always available and helped us a lot
Our family and several friends tried the escape room as part of a graduation party for my son. We had a mixed groups, some young, some older. Everyone was engaged and we all had a great time. We didn't quite make out in time 😢 but we came close! The live actors in the game really made a difference and added so much to the game. We will have to try again.
One of the best escape rooms that we’ve been to. It was so much fun and the actors were great and the story was fantastic. Would definitely recommend it to everyone I one who’s looking to do something different and fun
We held a "year end" Murder Mystery dinner with Murder Mystery Toronto. They were absolutely amazing! Our whole group enjoyed it. They used name tags on our employees and it was very effective during the show, calling on certain people and having everyone feel involved and included. The mystery itself was great for table discussion/debate while enjoying dinner. The actors are all super talented, funny and wow, can they sing! We highly recommend and will be calling on them again to enjoy one of their other show offerings.
Great experience celebrating 8th birthday for a group of noisy boys. Very clean and organized, beautiful birthday rooms,friendly and helpful staff, food is delicious,we had a gluten free guest and the place provided with gluten free option without additional cost ,also tasty and looks the same,so the kid didn't felt left out. The place is not cheap ,the same party size at the other place cost less,but the place looks fantastic and the food delicious, we are very happy with celebrating the birthday here.
Saw the documentary DOSED 2 and loved the theatre, the staff were friendly, the popcorn and drinks were much better and more affordable than other places. They had booze too! They would benefit from Cold Comfort Ice Cream sandwiches and better candy/chocolate selection but otherwise, awesome!!
Growing up and often seeing Sophistoccasion showband perform live and I was always amazed. When it came to my wedding there was no doubt I wanted a live band, but I wanted only one specific band and that was sophistoccasion!!!!
Hands down the best out there, from start to finish. Silvio, Bruna and the rest of the band were amazing, fun and talented. ❤️ Having sophistoccasion perform at our wedding was the highlight of our day. It was such a stress-free happy moment. ‘Till this day our guests still tell us how amazing and how much fun they had. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

We hired Sophistoccasion for our wedding in June 2022 and they did not disappoint! Not only was the music great (they had ppl dancing all night) but Silvio was also a great MC and the band’s charisma and attitude set the right tone for the whole night. Besides a great performance, Sophistoccasion was a pleasure to deal with - responsive, accommodating, reliable, etc. We would not hesitate to hire them again!
We had our sons 11th birthday party here this past weekend and it was an absolute blast. The party host was very helpful and the whole time was smooth and efficient. Laser tag was a hoot and the kids all enjoyed their rime with the arcade games afterward. Overall very easy to deal with the staff and very affordable considering what was provided. Thank you for easing the birthday party experience!
Our office did a zoom Murder Mystery for our holiday party, and without a doubt it was the most hilarious fun experience we had ever had as a team. You will always get the most out of this by preparing and getting dressed up. The host was an amazing facilitator and kept us totally on time (despite the antics) and I would highly recommend this with friends, family or co-workers. Thank you guys - you were amazing!!
Big Time Murder Productions does not disappoint! We recently participated in a murder mystery for a corporate holiday party and the whole team had a blast! Booking was easy, the Big Time Murder Productions team was responsive and reliable, the storyline was fun and the characters were hilarious. We will definitely be booking again for a future team building event.
They are incredible! From cocktails, to the ceremony to the reception, Silvio and the band kept our wedding guests entertained all night. Sophistoccasion did an amazing job engaging our guests and the dancefloor was packed the entire time. So many people told us that Sophistoccasion is the best wedding band they've ever seen - everyone had a blast! They accommodated all of our musical requests and we are so happy that Sophistoccasion was our wedding band. We would highly recommend them to anyone!
Very professional and responsive. Everyone had a blast.
My wife and I wanted a band for our wedding and we decided to go with SophistOccasion. Let’s just say we had the best night of our lives!
They had all our guests on the dance floor the whole night and us as well! They sound phenomenal and are such great performers. However, beyond that, Silvio and Caroline are great people who really helped us throughout the whole process and met all our demands (and even last minute ones). They even have a decor service which gave our venue a beautiful and classy look.
My wife and I couldn’t be happier with how the night turned out. We definitely recommend them for any party, and we will recommend them to all our friends!
Thanks again!

SophistOccassion made our wedding night a truly spectacular and magical affair. It was an absolute pleasure working with Silvio, Caroline and the whole SophistOccasion team. They are so professional and go above and beyond to ensure that you have the time of your life. Our guests kept coming up to us all night to tell us how absolutely amazed and impressed they were with the band. Cannot recommend this band enough, truly amazing talent and will make your affair a night to remember!
Professional, wonderfully talented, and just great people to work with. We went with SophistOccasion for our wedding, and not only did we have absolutely nothing to worry about, we were impressed. These are exceptional musicians, with a lot of experience, and they were flawless. In addition, we appreciated our interactions with them leading up to our wedding; they are nice people, and take their work to heart. They took the time to understand what was important to us, and what kind of wedding we were looking to have with our 300 guests. I have no hesitation recommending SophistOccasion to anyone, a truly great group of people.
