Why escapehour escape rooms are better than other escape rooms
Since Calgary is one of the largest cities in Canada it has a large number of escape rooms. Though the escapehour facility in Calgary was opened only in 2016, it has become the top rated escape room in Calgary for both visitors and locals since it has features which are not present in other escape rooms. In many of the escape rooms, there is no lighting to make it difficult so players have to use a flashlight to find clues. Unlike these escape rooms Escape hour does not make the room dark so players are comfortable during the game. Instead it uses difficult puzzles and clues, to make the room interesting and challenging.
Another reason why playing a quest game at escapehour is better than other escape rooms, is because of the extensive use of technology to provide a better experience. In some of the other escape rooms, there is an attendant who is reading a book who will come to the help of the group if they press a buzzer and solve the puzzle for them. In contrast using camera, microphones and a TV screen, Escapehour has a dedicated game-master who is closely monitoring the team in each escape room. If the team is stuck, the game-master will provide hints which will help the team solve the puzzle.
There are escape rooms with different themes in Calgary like the Lost Jewel of Zanzibar a treasure hunt, Prohibition - Lucky Duck, Curse of the evil genie with an Arabic theme, Cypherspace with a space, Insterstellar theme. Each team can choose a suitable locker room based on theme which the team members are interested in. Typically those who are playing escape games for the first time are choosing the treasure hunt, since it is considered to be the easiest game. To make player the escape game a very immersive experience, it has been decorated with great attention to detail, with genuine antiques and other items to match the theme.
Another advantage of the Calgary escapehour rooms is that it is possible to book a suitable time slot and game online anytime they wish, those interested do not have to make phone calls for booking. The escapehour website provides updated information about the availability of each escape room, so that groups can find a suitable time slot. The Escapehour staff is well trained and friendly, and most of those who have played escape games, have complimented the gamemaster for making it a very enjoyable experience. After enjoying their first escape game, many groups return to play the other escape games.
