What to Do in Escape Manor Ottawa
Immerse yourself in the escape rooms
Ottawa boasts 5 Escape Manor locations, each offering its own thrilling adventures and immersive experiences.
As of writing, there are a total of 6 rooms available at the Elgin location, making it the Escape Manor with the most offerings in Ottawa.
If you and the gang appreciate a variety of stories and experiences, you might just like this location.
My top recommendation? Sherlock. And as a die-hard Sherlock Holmes fan, I say this with absolutely no bias!
Imagine this: you’re transported into the world where 221B Baker Street is home to the legendary Sherlock Holmes.
The twist? He’s missing and you have to find him before the time runs out!
Don’t worry – you can bring 5 other friends with you to help you with the challenge.
Meanwhile, Hintonburg and Nepean each offer 4 rooms, while Diefenbunker has 2, ranging from action-packed adventures to worlds delving into witchcraft.
Play an exciting round of darts and bocce ball
At the Elgin location, the thrilling experience goes far beyond escape rooms. Folks can also play a modern game of darts, complete with auto-scoring so you can focus solely on excitement.
If you’re seeking another kind of thrill, there’s also the bocce ball, which is ideal for those who like strategy games.
Wind down at the spectacular Manor Lounge
The Manor Lounge at the Elgin Street Location is an intimate hangout spot where you and your friends can eat, drink, and play games after your Escape Room adventure.
You can even stay during happy hour (4 PM to 6 PM and 9 PM onwards) for great deals.
Moreover, you can catch a thrilling show of dueling pianos monthly and a magic show weekly!
You can also have brunch at the Manor Lounge on weekends from 10 AM to 3 PM.
I recommend dressing up in your best Gasby-esque attire for the complete experience. You can thank me later!
What to Prepare Before Going to Escape Manor
Your Trusty Companions
While you can always play the escape rooms at Escape Manor by yourself, where’s the fun in that? I’ve personally experienced both and nothing beats playing with a group of friends.
Each room is ideal for at least 4 people, but most allow up to 6 to 8 participants.
Comfortable Clothing
To fully immerse yourself in the exhilarating escape room experience, it’s essential to dress comfortably. After all, you’ll want to be free to move and explore every corner of the room without any restrictions.
So, leave those stiff collars and mini skirts behind, and get ready to dive into adventure in style!
