Trapped Halifax

It was my first escape room and I found the setting pretty real. We went for the Medieval themed challenge and only managed to solve 2 puzzles and eventually failed to make it out. They help you nicely with clues though. All in all great place.

This escape room experience did not live up to expectations. We did an Egyptian-themed room that was a bit basic compared to other rooms we've done in Halifax/Dartmouth and elsewhere. Frankly we expected much better production value and more intricate, multi-stage puzzles from a business with so many locations across Canada. Unfortunately, our walkie-talkie was apparently disfunctional (shouldn't this have been checked beforehand?) and the staff didn't respond to us after 20+ minutes of asking for a clue. We only heard from them after we had run out of time and they came into the room. We were quite disappointed as the staff only offered 5 additional minutes and didn't offer any sort of compensation/partial refund given their equipment failure (we were told it was a range issue.). Again, we expected better from a business this large that clearly has been doing this for awhile.
If you're looking for a unique experience, try a different escape room provider in town – we've enjoyed the experiences they offer much more than Trapped. I'd also advise avoiding this location for teambuilding and corporate events – our room was too small and too basic despite being designed for up to 7 people. I think these guys could do a bit better.

Trapped Halifax offers great escape room adventures for you and your friends! Choose from one of the many themed rooms, I've done the Egyptian and Pandemic themed ones and they are very engaging - much fun would recommend! Make sure to arrive in advance so you don't use any of your escape time.

Awesome experience here! Super fun thing to do for couples, families or groups of friends! We done the contaminated hospital as a couple and it was awesome, the puzzles were hard enough to make it challenging and fun but not impossible. Our instructor read us a story before we went in that gave us our first clue then we had to chat with her through a walkie talkie to ask for clues if needed. The best escape rooms in the city for sure! We will be back

Did the medieval prison last night and had a blast! Nice and challenging and a great ambiance overall!

We did the contaminated hospital and it was so much fun. The puzzles were challenging but still fun. I did it with two of my friends and we are 16ish and we still escaped. Great staff amazing time.
