Bringing the concept of escape rooms to the outdoors is a great way to combine the challenge of puzzles with a healthy and fun way to be outdoors. It’s also a great way to see areas of a city that you may otherwise not see.
As of the fall of 2024 we’ve only completed one outdoor escape experience which was Escape Box by Kiwi Kingdom. The builders describe it as “a game that combines the thrill of a scavenger hunt with the challenge of mind-bending puzzles. Each box equips you with an array of physical objects and clues that guide you through a series of puzzles that blend the everyday with the unimaginable. Every puzzle solved draws you closer to uncovering a sinister secret, with the fate of Toronto hanging in the balance.”
You begin your experience at BoardGame2Go on Queen and Spadina before travelling to 10 unique locations that showcase local street art. The game takes around 1.5 hours to complete and is a lot of fun!
We really enjoyed this experience. The puzzles were well thought out, the box you are given is well designed and contains everything you need. We also found the price to be really reasonable for a package that entertains a group outdoors for 1 to 2 hours! With this being named “Episode 1” we’ll be watching for a follow up experience!
Make sure you check them out Kiwi Kingdom on Instagram – they have lots of cool videos showcasing the experience. And head over to their website and book your outdoor escape today!
Since we completed this experience at the end of fall, it’s likely the only one we’ll have listed until the spring! But, their experience has made me want to try more!
