Review of "Emergency Exit" at EscapeworX

You and your group were visiting Africa on an expedition to provide food and aid to those in need. After leaving the mainland en route to Madagascar, your organization’s cargo plane begins to experience mechanical issues. Your plane has crashed in the middle of the Indian Ocean. You have 60 minutes to escape the cargo hold before it sinks to the bottom of the sea.

We have not yet completed a review of Emergency Exit at EscapeworX in Kitchener. We hope to experience this room soon.

What others are saying

A plane-crash escape set in a sinking cargo hold, with a mixed reception that depends a lot on the venue’s upkeep.

Reviewers on Morty say the puzzles are well thought out and flow logically, with a few fun surprises and an immersive soundtrack. One Google reviewer found it tough but fair with few red herrings, and praised friendly staff who gave good hints quickly.

The most common complaint from both sources is darkness: the room starts pitch black and stays dim, and Google reviewers report a flashlight that did not work. Morty reviewers also mention worn props, loud sound effects and technical issues, while Google reviewers describe a broken puzzle, a confusing directional lock and time deducted for hints after the first one; one experienced group called it the worst escape room they had done.
