Review of "Pathogen" at Escape Games Canada

In a cyberpunk dystopia where corporations are king, you and your elite team have a mission: break into Talon headquarters and travel to the 300th floor to steal the deadly pathogen housed there. Be careful, the lab is equipped with a state-of-the-art security system that if tripped too frequently, will alert Talon to your presence.

We have not yet completed a review of Pathogen at Escape Games Canada in Toronto. We hope to experience this room soon.

What others are saying

Pathogen is a cyberpunk lab heist with several possible endings. Reviewers on Morty, Room Escape Artist and Google reviewers generally find it fun and well designed.

Morty reviewers praise the use of tech, the immersive set and a few novel twists and puzzles. Room Escape Artist liked the strong opening, the clever automatic difficulty tuning, well-taught puzzles, a standout communication puzzle and a bit of physicality. Google reviewers call it challenging but a lot of fun, with well-made props and puzzles.

On the downside, Morty reviewers say it feels cramped for large groups, a few puzzles became frustrating, and the endings carry little weight. Room Escape Artist felt too much of the game was spent at a computer screen. One Google reviewer found the room uncomfortably hot because it sits next to the heating room.
