Experience: A Friday Night Trying To Get Out Of The Sheriff's Office In Escape Maze

/

It was a Friday night and the whole gang was locked away in the Sheriff's Office. There was Sure-shot Scott, Eastbound Em', Pistol Parrington, Jail-Break Julie (aka our Julie Morris) and Hawkeye Holt (aka me, Evan Holt).

We knew we only had 45 minutes before the Sheriff returned to his office, so despite being locked away in two separate jail cells, we had to work together to make our escape. Our eyes darted around the room and we started finding clues (some easy to find, some not so much).

Each solved puzzle rewarded us with a clue that we used to get one step closer to the final door to our escape. Sweat started dripping from my brow. How long had it been since the Sheriff stepped out? What if he came back early? All I knew is that busting out of here would be a great tale to tell the friends over a cold drink.

Will you attempt to escape as well? Make sure to try this amazing live interactive game with friends.

I also hear "Allin's Orchard Room" is open now and another new room "The Shaft" opens on October 9th. Maybe our paths will cross and you can tell me all about your daring escape, too.

Escape Maze Live Interactive Game On Peterborough Farm Is Historical Thriller

/

Once you enter into the dimly lit room, you will hear the lock on the old wooden door click shut behind you. You and your friends now only have 45 minutes to figure out how to escape! Scattered around the room are a loosely connected set of clues that you will have to decipher to get you one step closer to freedom. Some take math skills, others are physical puzzles and brainteasers. Communication skills are key as you help each other try and make some sense as to where to start or make use of the evidence. Various lockboxes may contain the next step, but how do you get into them to begin with?

Welcome to Escape Maze, a great new cerebral challenge located here in Peterborough created by Fred Preddy and his sister Jake Walling. There are two escape rooms: The Gold Rush Room (for 2 to 6 players) and the Old Saloon (for 2 to 8 players) are themed upon the 1866 gold rush that came to Eldorado, Ontario. Not only will you get a brief local history lesson but will also have the opportunity to dress the part.

Not sure if you'll feel comfortable being confined in the room? Don't worry, you can always use the "Emergency Key" attached to the door knob to let you out (and there is video surveillance to ensure no one gets hurt). The suggested age range is 13 years old and up, and no electronic devices will be allowed into the rooms.

Escape Maze is located on a farm at 156 Cedar Bank Road. If you have any questions, give them at call at 705-740-3657. You can also follow Escape Maze on Facebook, Twitter and book your visit online.
