The Kelvinists

Hello — we love escape rooms 🔑

We're the Kelvinists, a couple from the Canadian capital of Ottawa who got hooked on our very first room (Dracula's Library, Toronto, 2016) and never looked back. Since then we've chased rooms across Canada, the US and all over Europe.

We started keeping track of every room we've done and posting our reviews on Instagram as @kelvinists. This site is our growing logbook.

🐕 Accompanied in spirit by Kelvin, our key-carrying pup.
