Room Description:

Your friend has disappeared. He had a strong interest in old folk tales and mysteries and was researching the legend of one of these stories. He mentioned he was travelling to where the legend originated but he never returned.

He spoke very little of his research but did mention that it was an ancient legend involving a mythical creature. If this creature was to be found, it would grant you any wish that you desire. 

With limited knowledge about the situation, you go to his studio hoping to discover more about his investigation and his whereabouts.

Comments:
Kyle: We made it back to Mission but this time we are at the George Street Location. After being impressed with how well the Lost Mine was mechanically, we had high hopes for The Sacrifice. This was our first time taking on a room that had Live Actors but unfortunately again Dale had to fill in for Luke as he was unavailable. All that aside, I must say this room did not disappoint. It runs a very close second to my all time favourite of Mr Peppers. The sheer amount of content put into these rooms, the puzzles, the theatrics and the immersion was sensational. Not to mention it being one of the more scarier ones to date. 100 minutes to complete and we did so with a bit of time left in the tank, I can't recommend The Sacrifice enough. 

Simon: This live action escape room is one that should be on every escapers list. The level of immersion is unreal and the understanding of what builds atmosphere was carefully thought through and perfectly executed. There were many times in this escape room where I finally understood why people do seemingly silly things at the wrong moment in scary movies. The setting and narrative of the room was very detailed. The puzzles were a combination of very challenging and narrative specific. The live actors did a fantastic job as well. This room is also firmly entrenched in my top 5 escape rooms. Mission Escape had again lived up to it's lofty standards.
