# Escape Box

> Escape Box is Toronto's only outdoor escape room: a live actor-guided, ~90-minute immersive adventure where the city itself is the game board. Teams of 2 to 10 players solve puzzles woven through downtown Toronto's streets, murals, and landmarks. $36 CAD per person. Rated 5.0 from 33 Google reviews.

Escape Box (by Kiwi Kingdom) is based in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Unlike a traditional escape room that locks you in one room, Escape Box takes you outside: you just show up and your actor-guide meets you with a physical box of clues, then leads you through a trail of puzzles across real Toronto neighbourhoods, guided the entire time by a professional improv actor (the actor-guide brings the box; you just need comfortable walking shoes and a fully charged cellphone). The flagship experience, Escape From Unreality, starts at Thimble, 148 Spadina Ave., Toronto, ON M5V 2L8 (Richmond & Spadina) and ends at 269 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5V 1Z9 (both addresses are public, not a secret, and are also in your confirmation email); in between it explores the Queen Street West / Graffiti Alley area on foot.

## How it differs from a regular escape room

Traditional escape rooms confine you to one room for ~60 minutes. Escape Box is fully outdoors: the puzzles are part of Toronto's real streets, murals, and public spaces, and a professional improv actor stays with your group the whole time, keeping the story alive and nudging you forward if you get stuck.
