Really fun. Been a couple times at least. Did the temple escape, and the casino robbery.

It was my first time at an escape game. This is a branch of a few locations. We are a party of 6 ppl - 25$/ per person plus tax. Our room was the lab room - the story goes a mad scientist broke up with his lover and threatened to blow up the world- you have 35 mins to unlock the main door to his lab and find the code to deactivate the bomb. Our belongings were locked up in a cabinet including all phones. The instructions were explained to us at the beginning of the game (which weren't clear at all). We pretty much flipped the whole room over, with 6 mins to spare -realizing we still had 1 room left. You get two free clues by pressing a buzzer in the assigned room. For additional clues you lose one minute per clue. I may try out other escape games from a different company that reveal the clues more in a sequential manner. read more

This is a very cool way to spend an hour of your time. You and up to four others are locked in a room and have to work together as a team to break out. There are different scenarios for each room and they are quite hard so the success rate is quite low. I believe they told us only about 3% of people actually solve Prison Break which is the one we did. We came close to breaking out but time ran out. That being said it's still fun and I really enjoyed myself. The only downside is once you've done one scenario you know how it ends so if you return it's best not to retry that one or else it would just be too easy. You have to reserve ahead of time because A/Maze is popular and everyone has the same idea to check it out. It will cost you about $20 and I felt that it was worth it. read more

A/Maze - Foosball table which you can play while you wait. - Escape Games Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

This was my first time with a maze game and I wasn't disappointed. First of all, the space and the staff are consistently great. Particularly because they warn you about the hazards of being claustrophobic in these games I was anticipating that the whole thing would be far more physically demanding when it truly is just about using your wit. And man-oh-man do you use your wit. Our scenario was the prison break one and with four people and two hints granted by staff we were just just able to complete the maze in the 45 minutes allotted. I don't want to give any spoilers but you really do feel like a detective by the end of the game. I'm looking forward to trying the other scenarios. My one criticism is the cost- $28 for 45 minutes of being in a room, unaccompanied, still feels pretty steep by my standards. read more

This is the third escape room that I tried, second one in Montreal. Not the best one I tried, but the best one in Montreal so far. We ended up in this laboratory scenario. The good: Staff is very friendly and bilingual. Scenario had different rooms with doors, so we did not feel like we had just one room to do. We had the right to a few clues from the host during the game, which really helped. Gameplay area while waiting for you to access your scenario is a good idea. They have hangers area for jackets, but I do not know if they have places with locks for purses. Blackboards area to sign your name if you finish the scenario successfully (which we did). Noise was not too loud. The bad: Lots of technology in our scenario, so if you are not familiar with it you might feel disconnected. Lots of decoys and time consuming not useful things (a few is okay but this one got way too much on which we lost a good 15 to 20 minutes in total). Technology parts in english only after the first room. That particular scenario is not intended for kids (be warned). First room was very dark. Finished the scenario or not, this is a good place to spend a few hours of a nice afternoon. We enjoyed our time there and we will probably go again to try another scenario. Enjoy! read more

Had some extra time while on vacation, so decided to try an escape room as we haven't done one before. Reservation was easy to make, and we were teamed up with 2 other people (this possibility is mentioned when reserving so no surprise there) which was actually great because this would have been too hard with just 2 of us! We did the laboratory which was well decorated and super fun. We used the 2 free clues very selectively but they were super important, wouldn't have won the scenario without those clues honestly. Had a fantastic time, very enjoyable and no issues with the staff at all. Would definitely recommend. read more

I love puzzle games!! I realise it is a bit strange to be locked in a room with friends to try to solve a mystery... but it is really fun...and we got *so* close to solving it all!! We tried the mad scientist puzzle... which is pretty tough, with some really clever clues! It can be really exciting when several clues/answers come together and you manage to find a key to open a whole new room!! I don't want to give away any spoilers, so you'll just have to trust me that it is a really fun way to spend an hour! The building/venue was really interesting too, right down to the choice between a creepy washroom and a normal washroom! There is plenty of water if you need a drink while you wait, and a foosball table and some other games if you arrive early and need something to keep you occupied. I've given this four stars because it wasn't quite as amazing as the awesome hint hunt in London (and because although they have a "hint" button that you can use once, we pressed it three times before anyone came to help us! Boo!) read more

Fully booked a room a week in advance, got a call the night before to say they double booked the room. Didn't offer any kind of compensation, and was obviously not enough advance warning to book anything else. Really professional. What joke. read more

I went with two friends and we were paired up with another couple - thank goodness, because the game is super hard! We did the laboratory room, which is the hardest. The clues were really clever and everything was perfectly bilingual. The staff were varied... some seemed to really get into their role and others seemed bored. They told us we could take pictures of ourselves after and go find them on their facebook page, which is a cool idea but the staff member didn't really hype it. They have a nice waiting area if you arrive early where you can play foosball and some logic games to get your mind ready for the challenge ahead. I would 100% go again. I only wish we had a little more time in the laboratory to figure out the rest of the clues. read more

If you are like me and really enjoy the computer version of "escape the room games" then you will love this place. It is the real life version and it is 10x better than any online game you will find. I went with a group of 4 friends and we attempted Prison break and escaped the Mad scientist scenarios. It was an incredible amount of fun. The storyline is pretty cool and who doesn't like being placed in a small enclosed room with your closest friends (or enemies) and having to put your heads together to unlock clues and find the key to escape! A/maze requires a bit more thinking to figure out the clues rather doing more physical puzzles, but you have to work as a team! I highly recommend this place and I would definitely return to try out more scenarios! read more

Have been here twice, once with my daughter and once for a work team building activity. Both times were great fun. The waiting area has foosball and video games to hang out in. The staff were friendly and helpful. They have several different scenarios of different levels of difficulty and length of time. Between the two visits we got to try all of them. Don't be afraid to ask for a hint to help if you're stuck. There are a few tricky parts to each scenario that I'm not sure you could figure out without a hint. read more

Fun place to visit for an hour of entertaintment. You choose the type of room/ puzzle and try to solve it with clues left in the room. We participated in a clue findding activity with my husband and teenage son and were paired up with two young other people. Activity is definitely a team game, searching for clues its quite difficult at times. We did not solve the whole thing in time. To be fair the key in one of the locks did not work which cost us time and threw us off. Employee said that about 3 to 5 percent of people solve whole thing. Fun but only if you are the detective and very persiatent type. read more

My girlfriend and I did all three of their rooms this past weekend (Lost Temple, Prison Break, and the Laboratory). The rooms themselves had both great ambiance and puzzles on the whole, but unfortunately our experience was overshadowed by extremely poor customer service. Ignoring some of the terrible employees, the room themselves deserve 5 stars. Our last room of the weekend was the laboratory, which had some cheap chemistry glassware in it. During our search of the room one of the tiny test tubes was nudged and shattered. The employees charged us $5 for it even though a google search quickly shows its only costs 50 cents. This was after we had already spent over a $100 on the rooms during the weekend. This is supremely petty and even though the rooms are great, I cannot recommend this escape room company as some of the staff is terrible and ruins the experience. read more

I love escape rooms and A/maze was lots of fun. We attempted the prison break with 4 people total. The puzzles were quite challenging. We were not able to escape in time, even with the two free clues. There are many other themed escape rooms and would for sure go back if I have the chance. read more

We went this summer and this was our first escape game experience. We LOVED it! We did the temple and the Labratory. There was a strong story line and the puzzles were well themed. We have done other escape games since, but this has remained our favorite. The only downside and the reason for the four stars - we didn't like that we could get thrown in with strangers. The other people entered a code in wrong and caused us to loose a lot of time. read more

Love it! I went there with 2 other friends and did The Temple. We were all noobs so it was kinda challenging at the beginning as we didn't know what we were supposed to look for. We called for the one hint they would give to you and that was really helpful. We didn't finish it after 20 min but we were close and I was pretty satisfied with our progress considering we've never had any escape game experience online or in real life. Would definitely go back and play other games! read more

Awesome, awesome experience! Well thought out, interesting simulations, extremely well organized and no prior experience or knowledge is needed. The best part? Ease of booking online!!! read more

Conveniently located walking distance from the Lionel Groulx metro and with some street parking nearby, this escape room site has 3 different themed rooms that run at the same time. Usually you are 5 people to a room at once, which helps when you are trying to solve the puzzles with basic logic and problem solving. The theme we tried took a few minutes (at least 10) to get used to the ways to find clues so we needed a hint from them via the walkie talkie they give you. It was a lot of fun - it helps that the two people we were paired with were fun too. Definitely something I would do again. Lots of fun! read more

They do not seem equipped for mixed language groups. I went with my office, and the animator's French was so poor, I barely understood 5% of the explanation of the puzzle we were supposed to solve. Although the groups had been set up ahead of time, staff there put me in a different group because I hadn't done that puzzle before; unfortunately, that put me in a group with people who spoke French with an accent I could barely understand. The enjoyment of this activity is communication, so it was not enjoyable for me. read more

Loads of fun! It was very interesting to see how our friends would act and re-act in the scenarios. All of our minds put together brought us 95% close to finishing The Temple. Reserving your date and time slots online is recommended. You may pay by cash or credit card upon arrival. You may be asked to hang your jacket at the entrance, and ladies may stow their purses at the waiting area...or keep it with you during gameplay. Arrive a few minutes prior to your reservation to sign a waiver, get a photo taken that will be posted on their Facebook page, and for an explaination of the game premise. The "problems" to solve are not hard, per se, just be sure to work together! (Doesn't matter if you are French or English speaking to solve the "problems"). Just have fun! read more

Came here with my office as part of our Christmas activity. What a blast! Our office was split into 2 activities, Prison Break and Temple Run. We did the Temple Run and had a great time. Staff was fun and friendly. The other guys had a great time doing the Prison break. They did not succeed in their mission but we did LOL. Would come back and do another one! read more

Love this place! We had so much fun!!! Such an unusual and creative activity to do with friends! Also quite challenging! Pure joy!!! Go go goooo there! read more

Had a great time! The person who helped us was very good..( can't remember his name). Puzzles were fun!

Had so much fun. We picked the easiest game but had to change our time as we were running late (they are very accommodating, we changed it 30mins before) and ended up in the most difficult room. Adrenaline pumping as the timer wound down we worked to solve clues that saved our world. Attention to detail and a wonderful variety of clues to crack made us feel like the awesome PIs that we are. An excellent way to spend the day and you'll be pumped for a while after. We definitely will be back to try other rooms. Check them out, I would love to see them expand! read more

I went with 2 friends and we did a one hour room (develop an antidote challenge). It was so much fun! The puzzles were challenging enough to keep us engaged but we still managed to solve and escape in time. And because we were so into the action one hour felt like 2. Definitely worth the money, and a great bonding activity. read more

For the logical/math based personalities out there this is one great way to spend an hour. Heart pumping non stop action if you're really into it. Didn't escape the prison but we were so close!! So frustrating and addictive will for sure be back soon. read more

I always had a great time at amaze. The escape room are amazing, great puzzles that really makes you work. I have been there with family members and had a great time. Price is really affordable for the adventure. read more

We were a group of 3, we tried the trample game it was a nice & challenging game! Highly recommend this place & the staff are super friendly. read more

Definitely a must try if you live in MTL. A different experience than anything I've ever done before. I went with a group of friends, 5 in total, i think that's the maximum no. Of players, and we did the crazy scientist scenario. I think 45 min. is not enough, but they said that that is the challenge. We will definitely go back to try the other two scenarios, prison break and the lost temple read more

I've done other similar games in Montreal and was excited to try A/Maze. We decided to do the hidden temple room while my little brother was in town. We booked and paid about a month ahead of time. When we got there, they asked me to pay (at that time it had been so long that I forgot I'd already paid, so I paid a second time - this was the first issue) and then we signed in. We had to wait quite a while due to a problem with one of the puzzles in the room, which wouldn't have been so bad on its own but with the rest of our experience... We got into the room and the puzzles were really cool and a lot more technical than I've seen before. We made some progress but managed to accidentally work around one puzzle (which shouldn't happen) and then we got stuck on the last puzzle. We asked for help and the guy who came in gave us a hint, but it didn't work. He ended up trying to do it for us and then announced that the puzzle was broken. Unfortunately, it was the puzzle that led to the prize, so even though we'd solved all the puzzles, we weren't able to get the prize. The guy wasn't apologetic at all, he just had the attitude of "oh well" and basically rushed us out to take our picture and get the room set up for the next group. On top of that, I was going over my credit card statement a few days later and realized I'd paid twice. I emailed them and they refunded it right away, but he said he hoped we'd at least gotten the treasure and I mentioned we hadn't and he never replied. After all the problems we'd had, I expected at the very least we would get an apology or a discount on a future visit, but nothing. The puzzles are cool, but between technical issues and no customer service to speak of, I won't be going back to try any others. read more

So fun we went twice in 3 days! Definitely recommend going with more people rather than fewer to give you a better chance at completing the objectives. read more
