The Missing Finger
“You must find your way in to the Mobster’s hideout to figure out how he continues to escape undetected by the police, before he returns…”
We have not yet completed a review of Stool Pigeon at Adventure Rooms in Niagara Falls. We hope to visit them soon to review this experience.
What others are saying
The Missing Finger is Adventure Rooms Canada’s original Niagara Falls game, and it’s still running. It has a long track record of positive reviews, from early write-ups by Room Escape Artist and the Escape Reviewer blog to recent players on Morty. One enthusiast called it a favourite, while others found it underwhelming.
Reviewers often mention the opening. Players start handcuffed to the wall, which Room Escape Artist called a high point because it forces the team to communicate right away. Players also praise the inventive, low-tech physical puzzles and the clever surprises, especially in the second half. Room Escape Artist mentioned a big reveal that caught their team off guard in a good way. It’s described as not scary and family-friendly, and some reviewers recommend it for first-timers and kids. Staff get regular compliments too.
The most consistent criticism is the lack of story. Room Escape Artist and the Escape Reviewer blog both said there’s almost no plot or theme tying the rooms together. A recent Morty reviewer said it felt like a collection of separate puzzles that never built to a satisfying ending. Reviewers also note plenty of red herrings, especially early on. One 2025 player found the dark first half a time sink and disliked that hints are handed out by the game master rather than requested. Adventure Rooms notes that a portion of this room isn’t accessible and would separate the team.
