Once Upon A Time
“Once upon a time, the Forest Fairy summoned everyone for a grand celebration. Beast or beauty, wicked or charming, all your favourite fairy tale characters have been invited. Gather all the guests to ensure the party is a success. Traveling through the enchanted woods, you’ll encounter everyone from the Princess to Pinocchio! But that’s not all – there are witches and thieves and other villains lurking in the magical forest! Throughout your noble quest, you’ll have to prevent them from sabotaging the party! Are you ready to embark on this adventure?”
We have not yet completed a review of Once Upon A Time at Omescape in Markham. We hope to experience this room soon.
What others are saying
Omescape now operates as Omventure, and Once Upon a Time is still running in Markham. Players generally have warm things to say about it, describing it as a cute, easy, family-friendly room rather than a challenge for seasoned teams.
Players on Morty called it cute, enchanting and nostalgic, with lots of little surprises and plenty of guidance on what to do next, making it a good pick for families with kids or people new to escape rooms. The We Try To Escape blog found the decor beautiful and cute.
On the downside, experienced players found it very linear and simple, and one called it among Omventure’s less unique rooms. Several Morty reviewers warned that you’ll want to brush up on your fairy tales, since a few puzzles depend on that knowledge and some of the stories are less familiar. One mentioned finicky sensors. We Try To Escape felt the room was too dark for a family game, the audio between puzzles slowed the pace, and the puzzles were mostly about placing objects in the right spots. A couple of reviewers suggest a small group.
