Room Escape Artist

Latest update: July 2026

Toronto has a wildly diverse escape room market spread out over a larger geographic area. The games in Toronto offer a rich mix of gorgeous set design, clever puzzling, and unique interactions with actors.

If you’re marathoning rooms in the Toronto region, our best advice is to be strategic with route planning and travel at off-rush hour times.

While you’re in this region, you might want to check out our guide to Niagara/ Buffalo, NY. And if you have a few extra days, you may want to head northeast and visit Montreal.

Editor’s Note: You’ll notice we don’t have reviews for all of these games. We can assure you that a member of the Room Escape Artist team has played these games and would recommend them. We hope to return to the area and add more reviews from this growing escape room market.
