The Kingdom of Cats

“The Cat king has been Catnaped! He vanished from his room one day and been missing ever since! The whole royal family is scratching their ears while they searched for their beloved King to no avail. You have been invited to a tea party by the Queen, as you are the greatest detective from the human world. Will you be able to find the King and save the Cat Kingdom from destruction?”

We have not yet completed a review of The Kingdom of Cats at Omescape in Markham. We hope to experience this room soon.

What others are saying

Omescape now operates as Omventure, and The Kingdom of Cats is still running in Markham. It’s one of the company’s oldest rooms, though Omventure says it has been refreshed in recent years. Players generally see it as a charming, easy, family-friendly game rather than a challenge.

People love the quirky theme. The Room Escape Artist blog, in an older review, called it charming and adorable, with fun cat-inspired interactions and a set you climb through. More recent players on Morty praised the cute, immersive decor, the crawling and exploring, and how well it suits kids and first-timers. The We Try To Escape blog liked the original storyline, creative puzzles and fitting music.

The main criticism is that it’s too easy for seasoned players, and one called it one of Omventure’s older, more mediocre rooms. Another Morty reviewer said the tech didn’t fully work and felt the game master debrief was minimal. We Try To Escape found the rooms darker than the light-hearted theme calls for and the link between spaces unclear, while Room Escape Artist felt some puzzles were generic and that the room requires moving around an interactive set, which may not suit everyone.
