Kita Sushi: Burnaby

Thoughts:
Clean and plain id best to describe the inside of the restaurant. The pricing is pretty average but the taste is above average.  The rolls had minimal filling and a lot of rice. The seaweed wrap was very chewy.I don't think this is a place I would try again with better choices in the area.
The rolls are on the smaller side which probably helps keep the price down.
Pros:
One of the few good sushi options in the area. The food tastes good and is not too expensive.
Cons:
Smaller portion sizes. Small interior making it very busy at times and might be better for take out.

Krakit: Burnaby

Overview:
Enter a Krakit Escape Game room, where SOMETHING  has happened.  Once the door closes behind you, your challenge is to find the clues hidden right before your very eyes to ESCAPE. There are four Krakit Escape Game rooms each with a different theme.  In some rooms, you may find your heart pounding and your palms sweating but be assured all of this happens in a make belief world with no danger.  Krakit is a unique way for everyone (ages 8 and up), to have fun, challenge yourself, host a birthday party or special events (stag/stagettes), host staff/corporate events and team building activities, or to create a date night that you'll never forget! It’s as simple as picking the room theme you want to escape from and then challenging fate.

Thoughts:
The idea is great and the execution is well done at Krakit. It was good fun and the staff was friendly and helpful, ecen joined in on the joking around with our group.

The room we were in was not very big and might have been a bit small for a group of 6. The room details were not as in depth or as extravagant as others like it. We did a zombie room and didn't see or hear a single one.

There was a good variety of clues but some were a little far reaching. The location was great as this is the only one like it not in Richmond.

I would recommend giving this a try as it is a good small group activity that does not rely on only one attribute.

Pros:
Close to locations other than Richmond giving people the opportunity to try without the long drive. Updated seasonal theme rooms with varying levels of difficulty. Fun for a small group of people.

Cons:
Some of the clues were hard and not overly relevant. The fine details could have been better in the room design.
