It was my first time at an escape game. This is a branch of a few locations. We are a party of 6…read moreppl - 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.

This was our first escape the room as a family and it was a fantastic experience! They have…read moremultiple rooms and we started with Maffia and then Virus. The instructions were clear and the facility was clean and comfortable. The staff went out of their way to make this a very positive experience. The clues were in both French and English. You get one hour to solve the room and you get clues at regular intervals. If you get stuck, you can waive at the camera for an additional clue. We only used this lifeline once and it really helped! Make a reservation and plan to want to do more than one room. It is 100% worth it! Good for all ages - even my 10 year old felt that he could contribute his skills to the puzzles. Next time we are back, we will try Casino. Come to Boston!!! It was SO much fun!!!

We weren't sure how it would turn out as we walked in off the street on a fluke but it was one of the highlights of our time in Montreal.

Thank you guys for a great time!

Second escape room attempt ever. Decided to try out a different company to see what else is out…read morethere and how differently the companies do things. With A/Maze, I find that they focus a lot more on making sure you have fun and are challenged not to the point of frustration but really to push your thinking. -You get unlimited hints which is already something I didn't think was possible, the room is never locked so if you need to go to the bathroom or need a breather you can leave at any time (I do find that this takes you out of the game setting though), -You get a walkie talkie to communicate with the game master but there's also a button near the door which can summon him if anything, -You get a very strong flashlight, -If ever something doesn't work, the game master will come and fix it and will add additional time for the time lost on the faulty clue (our iPad was dysfunctional and they added an extra 10 minutes for it) -As well as when he comes in the room to explain something, the timer will be paused. My friends and I loved our time here, it was a lot of fun and we would definitely do another game.

Came here for my first Montreal escape experience and it was way better than I expected! Having…read moredone many escape rooms in Ottawa, I already had an idea in my mind or what it might be like, but it definitely exceeded expectations. We chose the bank robbery escape room and it was super cool because of the different techy touches. We had 45 minutes and sadly did not escape, but it was still an awesome experience! We were tempted to turn around and do another one right after. The staff were helpful and informative, and it's in a really convenient location. I particularly like that they have storage chests for any bags or jackets that you don't want to (or can't) bring in with you. Price wise it was about $30 per person, but it's totally worth it for the amount of fun you can have. If you haven't already, definitely check it out and give it a shot!

December 2022 - COVID Review:…read more My husband and I love to do an escape room whenever we travel to a different city. I liked that there was an option to have the room and clues be facilitated in French or English. Our game master was really cool and we did the Cabin room. We were so close to finishing, but unfortunately didn't make it out in time. My main and only complaint was that the rooms here are only 45 minutes long instead of the usual hour. I think that if we were given a full hour, we probably would've been able to figure out the final couple puzzles left to make it out of the room. I did like that they allow you to do the rooms with your own group and don't mix you up with other people in order to fill the room to the maximum number allowed.

Tried my first escape room ever!! Honestly I had no idea what to expect and the room we booked was…read morethe hardest so I already knew we would fail. But I was determined to have a good time anyway. Since we booked one day in advance, only pirate ship was left and I knew it involved lots of locks from previous yelp reviews. I had also read some general tips about escape rooms beforehand and knew to look everywhere and to think outside the box. We get to the place and buzz 101 to get in. We are given a locker to put our things in and we then signed in and paid, went to the bathroom, and got our instructions. It's a very well made and well organized place. For $25, I had a lot of fun and so did my friends. If you don't wanna know too much about the pirate ship one, don't read this part. Since this room is hard we are given a boost. We can choose the red serum which can add anywhere from 1-10 minutes extra or one extra hint at the beginning of the mission (normally you get 3). We opted for the extra clue because we didn't want to pick the extra time and risk getting 1 minute. The pirate ship room is at the bottom so we go down a flight of stairs where the employee tells us that as soon as she leaves the room we are free to look around. Once the employee leaves, your game master sets the scene and the mission officially starts. The room is really well decorated and really puts you in the scene. I was SWEATING running around everywhere and we blew through our 4 clues in the first 20 minutes. It's true that there are A LOT of locks but figuring out how to unlock it is still pretty fun. I think the locks do distract you from the parts of the room that are more creative, and you easily get lost on which keys and codes you've already used before. The flashlights are USELESS so I really recommend bringing in your phone, I know it's against the rules but their flashlights don't work and the room is already hard enough that I wasn't going to lose even more time being blind. I also found it annoying to go back out the ship to go to the screen and see the clue but it is smart because you do need to look outside the ship sometimes and you can get lost thinking only the ship itself is useful but the clues make you observe all parts of the room. Once time is up, your game master comes back and shows you how to solve the room (which is neat! I didn't think they would show you how to solve it). Our game master was great! Really got into her role. We did lose but had tons of fun. I would go back and try another scenario for sure!

As a huge fan of this escape game location, I did all the rooms available. Each room is very well…read moredecorated and what's fun is that there is a mix of physical and mental puzzles and they're always so creative!!! Each room has its own theme and nothing gets repeated. The different roles chosen at the beginning of the game also adds something fun to it. The staff is always friendly and is always quick to answer when we need hints. However, the only thing I don't like about this place is that most of the puzzles need to be solved step by step. If you're with many people at the same time, some people might not have anything to do. Can't say this place isn't one of my fave since I did all of their rooms. Would definitely recommend it!!!

This is a review for the VR game Beyond Medusa's Gate by Ubisoft. Ok this was seriously a lot of…read morefun. It was my first time playing with a VR game and we were a group of four. The game was just hard enough to be interesting but not so hard that it's demoralizing. Apart from the game, there's not much to describe in terms of the room since, well, it's all in the VR!! The yellow room we got had windows on one side and was overlooking the street. There's sufficient space in there for four people such that you won't bump into each other. You can go without glasses when you put on the headset since the image is up close. Because this is a group game, just swivel up one of your headphones so you can hear your teammates talking as you'll need to work together. Since you have to physically bend down to pick stuff off the ground you can't really sit. And since you use the controls to "walk" by teleporting from one place to another, I'd recommend wearing comfy shoes because you'll literally be standing still for the whole game. Overall a really cool experience to test out VR before committing to a headset/games. I'd love to go back and try out the other games!

My crew and I are no novice when it comes to escape rooms. We take pride in successfully completing…read morethe scenarios given to us. So you could imagine us as an overly confident (read: turbulent) team in front of an enthusiastic game master. We played the Nightfall scenario, which lasts for 60 minutes normally. We appreciate the fact that "pre-hints" were offered on a clipboard, but in the end were not necessary for the completion of our mission. There is enough to keep two sub-teams busy (which, like any other escape room game, is a shame, because you might miss an interesting opportunity to contribute). Not to spoil the surprise, but there were a few items that were discovered "by chance", although there may have been good logic behind it. We appreciated the sound indicator whenever a clue was successfully achieved, a nice touch compared to the competition. In the end, we finished third on the leaderboard, with 26 minutes to spare (which is pretty disappointing for us, you can imagine). We discovered this place through Tuango, which cut down the price to around 20$ per person, which is a decent price for the experience we got. This is obviously a place that's just starting, so we will cut them some slack on some items that were low-key. The other scenario Shelter 2039 is also intriguing, so we will definitely check it out in the future!

Would definitely try all the other rooms.

Yearly tradition to do an escape room on my birthday and this year, I needed a room that was…read moreoffered in english, challenging, and able to fit 9 people. Escaparium had all of that! We picked the game The wizard four and the book of black arts which is for 4-10 players and they recommend at least 8 people to do this room. Everyone gets a wand to start that is used to activate various different parts and items in the room. The game master is also part of the story and if you need any help or guidance you can do so by calling out the name of the character. I love that they integrate it into the game, all other escape rooms I've done you just get a walkie talkie. It was a great experience and moderately challenging. I recommend! *Slight spoilers ahead* I also loved that they had an actor be a part of the experience, it added a layer of theatricality that I haven't seen in other escape rooms. Usually the person who lets you in the room is dressed up or is part of the explanation of the room but rarely have I seen them be in the room later on as part of the story. The only criticisms I have about the rooms is that when we solved a puzzle or unlocked an area, it wasn't obvious where the change happened so we needed to be reminded to look around because we had accomplished something and there was a clue to pick up but there was no announcement so we never knew if it had worked or not. There was also a puzzle that was completely in the dark so it was necessary for me to use my phone which usually is a big no for escape rooms but it was truly too dark to see. We wasted maybe 10 minutes trying to find this last clue so I believe we could've solved the room a lot faster had we known. There is no timer in the room but you can always ask the game master to let you know how much time is left. We solved it with 8 minutes to spare!
