Having last played many years ago, this group returned with 1 newbie to try their hand again at The Postmasters Riddle! Team Sarah's Birthday made it a celebration and had a blast on their visit!

Once they arrived in our space there were a handful of memories that popped back up, but thankfully those memories didn't spoil a great game to be played! Adding a new player to the room gave Team Sarah's Birthday a fresh perspective on every puzzle they encountered! We hope to see them make the trip from Listowel again sometime soon to finish what they started and ring that bell!

Team Auntie A made the trip up from Kitchener on Sunday to try their hand at our room! Its VERY safe to say they did more than try their hand!

Team Auntie A wowed the Gamemaster with their puzzle-solving ability and perfect use of clues when absolutely needed! Finishing with a great time and making good progress into part 2 will hopefully convince this group to come back! From after game conversation it seems as though we may see Team Auntie A during the holiday period, so watch out for their return!

Its rare that two groups play on the same day that have such a similar last name it causes slight confusion when one of those groups decide to return to our room! However, that was exactly what happened with The Game Girls before returning this past weekend!

Thankfully everything got sorted out and this group was back to show their ability in our room! The Game Girls just kept playing and playing and playing and with just 10 minutes to spare, they managed to win! Having such a great time on their return visit, we hope to see them back in the building before too long to keep playing their game in Clockworks!

Coming back after a year with 12 players and a different Gamemaster from a first visit could throw off any team! Thankfully for everyone invovled, Roth Family Campground felt saw none of those factors as issues when returning to our room!

Having already dealt with car troubles just trying to make it back to us, nothing could stop this group from ringing that bell! Roth Family Campground made sure that this was truly a team effort! Every single member had the chance to help at some point during the game, whether that was solving, finding or just by being a great presence for everyone else to be around! This true group effort allowed Roth Family Campground to ring the bell with mere minutes to spare which hopefully spurs them on to find another time to visit us once Clockworks officially opens!

It was a thrill to welcome back the JosephSONS & Daughter. One of my all time favourite team names as their last names are Josephson!

This was such a fun team from start to finish, an afternoon out with dad turned into a race to the finish and a race to ring our bell! 🔔

Was it ever a doubt in our mind they’d not finish? Never! This team used good old family communication to achieve their goal. We were so happy to hear them ring the bell over and over again!

Hope to see you all in Clockworks!

Having a Gamemaster lose their voice before a group comes could sometimes be a detriment to both the Gamemaster and the group, thankfully Team Wernham had the right kind of reaction so that a lost voice didn't hamper their game at all!

That reaction was jokes and laughs throughout the whole game! Team Wernham were not only solving puzzles, but having a great time from start to end! Getting to joke along with a team makes the experience for both Gamemaster and group that much better! All conversation at the end leads this Gamemaster to believe that we will see Team Wernham back to ring that bell in the near future!

They did their last show with us a month ago so it was about time that Mötley Crew made their return to rock out with us once again!

A month is a sweet spot of time away where you haven't forgotten too much of our room, but you've also had it on your mind long enough to need to finish it! The Mötley Crew felt that way as they said as much when they arrived! They had been thinking about us since their first visit, and it was clear from the start of their return that was true! Flying through every puzzle allowed the Mötley Crew to finish our room with 10 minutes to spare, a truly great time! Hopefully this return visit was exciting enough that they will want to come back for another show or two once Clockworks officially opens!

Making a stop at our escape room between Kitchener and Kincardine made for the perfect afternoon for Team Benvenuti!

This group had a large amount of escape room experience under their belts, and because of that were fairly quickly able to start figuring out our room! Team Benvenuti moved from puzzle to puzzle with the efficiency of a team who knew what they were doing and as a group of friends who had clearly known each other for a long time! Hopefully we see them back before too long to finish the job they started in our room!

It is very rare to have a group where the average age is 14, but Team King were just that group!

They didn't let their age effect their game though, as these were some great puzzle-solvers once in our room! Team King took on every challenge with the same excitement and energy after first making sure what they were doing was right! We hope that even though they were just visiting from the Barrie area while camping, Team King finds a way to come back and ring the bell for all of Harriston to hear!

There's a small chance that when a group is as big as 10, a "too many cooks in the kitchen" situation can happen! Thankfully Nana and The Chuds knew exactly how to make everyone's skills shine in our room!

This squad managed to put everyone in the exact right positions where and when they needed them! The younger half of The Chuds were good at squeezing around and finding things, meanwhile the older half were using those finds to solve every puzzle! Nana meanwhile was all around doing both finding and solving, it was celebrating her birthday after all! Although we would love to see them back soon, getting roughly half the team back all the way from Australia might be tricky for Nana and The Chuds! Just know that if they ever want to make their return, we will be waiting eagerly to host their bell ringing reunion!
