Escape Maze

Escape Maze is such a unique spot in Peterborough. We tried out the disc golf course, and while it could use a bit of polish, you can really see the effort that went into setting it up. It’s a fun bonus activity, but the real highlight here is the escape rooms and the escape-style adventures. They’re well put together, creative, and definitely something different to do if you’re in the area. It’s a great option for families or a group of friends—especially if you’re renting a cottage nearby and looking for an activity that’s a little outside the ordinary. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the whole property has a charming old western feel to it. You can tell they put a lot of care into the details. I imagine their Halloween events are going to be fantastic, given the vibe of the place already. Overall, Escape Maze is well worth a visit if you’re in the Peterborough area.

Escape Maze was the meeting place for four generations of family to come together from 4 different cities for our yearly campout. The pavilion provided an ideal place to gather for meals, and the variety of things to do kept everyone entertained. Some family members tackled solving the escape rooms while others enjoyed the disc golf course . Even Great Grandma took part in the Laser Tag challenge . The children ran free in the fresh air and loved the outdoor adventure trail. Everyday ended enjoying roasted marshmallows and making s’mores while sitting in a circle around the campfire . With so many activities to choose from , I would definitely recommend Escape Maze for families and groups of all ages. Thank you Jake and Wilma and all your staff for your hospitality .

We've been here twice and certainly intend to return. The escape rooms are lots of fun for the whole family. The puzzles are complex enough to keep us all busy. The props and decor really create the vibe. We highly recommend this place!

The staff was just awful to the kids, and didn't provide the service that was paid for. For example, a staff member made one kid sit by himself for 15 minutes (because he was touching a tree) during the instructions/rules briefing for laser tag, then kicked him out of the game for not following a rule he didnt know, and proceeded to cut the entire group's time short... some kids (who paid quite a bit for the time there, considering what they got) didn't get their laser tag time, and just had to sit there waiting for the bus while everyone knew we were still on paid time! The kid who was removed was not given a 1 on 1 explanation by the staff member, as the owner's response alleges - he was taken away from the group (and teachers - very strange) by the employee and sat alone while she explained a completely different game to another group. The disc golf course is also just a big field with baskets set up around it, literally no obstacles or trees... not sure what the kids (or anyone for that matter) are being charged for there, other than borrowing a worn disc and having a staff member yell some instructions at the kids before they're sent out. If the kids were talking or practicing throwing discs they were yelled at and made to sit down (in wet grass) and not participate. These are kids on a trip trying to have fun, and getting yelled at instead - something their teachers don't even do - it was shocking. It seemed like the staff working there did not want the kids to enjoy themselves - they were nitpicking, looking for excuses to give the kids trouble, such as touching a broken chair or basketballs while waiting to play their next laser tag game, which was in a super dusty arena - so bad that one kid had to leave. I did ask the owner to make it right and let the kids play a last game (again, that they had paid for) instead of just sitting there, but he did not. I informed him I would be posting this review, which I have had to edit because the response twisted the events - all the adults there were shocked at the way the two employees that interacted with us treated the kids.

3rd visit, every time unique. Wonderful setups. Polite and helpful people. The building is such a great look. I suggest bringing a flashlight. They do provide one, but as you have multiple people, you might want more - or you can use your cell light. If you run into snags, you can ask for help (or if you're sooooo close they might chime in. The goal is fun, winning is the bonus and they aren't against it. * in the winter, the entry, right at the top of the hill can be super slippery, slow down more than you think you should.
