We don't play about our games.

We’re a small team who genuinely obsess over this stuff. Every room took months to build. Every puzzle went through more revisions than we’ d like to admit. This is what that looks like.

Five Star Reviews

Over 530 five-star reviews on Google and most of them mention something specific. A particular puzzle. A moment that surprised them. A staff member who made the difference.

Solve Target Rate

We design every puzzle so at least 80% of players can crack it. We test, watch, and adjust until the logic lands. Stumped is fine. Frustrated and stuck is not.

What Our Customers Say

// An escape experience like no other

[ Ranked among the best escape rooms in the world ]

In 2019 Escape Ops was ranked the 17th best escape room in the world out of 100. We’re proud to offer an elite yet approachable escape room Calgary experience that both novices and veterans alike will enjoy.

[ Authentic gaming experience ]

At Escape Ops we offer a number of differently themed rooms. We know nothing can break the sense of immersion faster than out-of-place objects or props. We believe that any props or tools used in the aid of exploring our escape room experiences should mimic a real life scenario and feel like it can realistically exist in the same space or narrative.

[ Genuinely passionate team ]

From day one, we set out to build a legacy for Escape Ops. That meant taking the time to develop something different and awe-inspiring when you first enter our games. We simply love what we do and take immense pride in creating and sharing an exceptional experience.

[ Our rooms are built from scratch ]

It was important for us to tear down and start with a blank canvas. By starting fresh we had the advantage of drawing up a blueprint that fits our creative vision. The end result is an unprecedented level of immersion in the locked rooms we offer. We always strive to create unique experiences and love taking on the creative challenge.

[ Perfect for a variety of events ]

Our caring and invested staff brings a different take to the Calgary escape room experience. This makes Escape Ops a perfect place for birthday parties, corporate team building, date nights and more. Our team will go above and beyond to ensure your special event is as enjoyable as possible. Escape rooms are our passion and we strive to provide not only quality and immersive room escapes but unmatched service as well. Bring in your co-workers for a team building event or plan your next party with us, you won’t regret it.
