i know there's one opened late 2013 in Richmond on garden city road, but the feed backs are mainly "so-so". Some review says it's quite interesting because the concept is super new in Vancouver. I think that one is call e-exit..

i also saw on facebook a new one is opening this Saturday, they advertise opening promotions and stuff. so me and my friends are deciding which to try..!!

Went to e-exit last night with a few friends. It was very dark in the room. Well to be exact, there were no light in the room at all.. They gave us 2 very dimmed flash light thingy. However, we had 6 people in the group and we asked for 1 additional flash light so we can work in pairs, they rejected our request thus we only had 4 people playing as the other 2 are just standing in the dark and couldn't do anything because they couldn't see anything in detail. Needless to say we failed.. Most likely will not return. If any of you wants to try, I recommend only to play in groups of 4 max. They only give you 2 dimmed lights regardless how big or small your group is.

My friends and I are trying Xcape later today. Will post update here later.

Cheers.

Could you use the flash light from your cell phone?

Tried Xcape Vancouver and it's pretty different comparing to Exit. Tried the Sherlock's Mystery room, the storyline was pretty cool actually. General game play is the same but Xcape is a lot less finding stuff at ridiculous places but pushes you to use your brain more for logic and solving problems. One of the biggest difference is that Xcape Vancouver......... Actually have lights in their rooms! Yes bright lights that you can actually see things in the rooms! So everyone in my group was able to participate in the game at least.

The staffs at Xcape Vancouver were more welcoming and helpful compare to Exit. When we asked for hints at Exit, the staff came in and just said some general things or point at a general area for us to find something and left.. Xcape Vancouver staff actually stayed in our room for a bit and guided us to the right direction for solving problems. Kudos for that! Although we failed to escape the Sherlock's Mystery room but the staffs there let us finish the game after the 45mins mark as they said we were really close to finish the game anyways. I suppose it won't happen if there were bookings after us.. But in general the experience was a lot more pleasant at Xcape Vancouver than Exit. (at least me and friends felt our money spent was worth it) My friend and I might return to try other rooms there.

Hope my reviews gives you all some general ideas of this type of entertainment!

Both places requires you to store your cell phones at their security boxes, so we cannot use our cell phones for light (Xcape has light inside their rooms anyways) and no google or Wikipedia for cheating purposes lol.

I did ask the Xcape staffs that night and they said they have 2 stories opened at this moment and they will open a big room that can hold up to 10 players this weekend, they said its a "co-op" mission as well. My friends got excited when they heard "co-op" so we might return for that one!
