Escaparium - Laval

  • Escape room

The widespread use of generative AI compels me to give this a negative rating. The video was created by AI, even though filming in the hallways wouldn’t have cost much, especially given Escaparium’s budget. The music was generated by AI—which is pretty obvious when no one is credited in the playlist. It’s pretty ironic, given the pseudo-environmental message along the lines of: “Humans are destroying the planet.” In short, incredible sets, but mediocre puzzles—they’re pretty easy and not very satisfying to solve. The game master was really cool and friendly, but please don’t swear in the lobby while you’re doing repairs 😂 TLDR: Stop using generative AI

The decor was worthy of Mysteriis, though there were fewer rooms than I expected. The puzzles were good, but the game master talked to us a lot (a little too much), and we had a hard time understanding what he was saying (volume too low, sound effects, etc.). There were five of us—the maximum number of players allowed—which is too many for this room. I recommend a maximum of three; some of us were twiddling our thumbs. Great atmosphere and a game we enjoyed!

Currently in my top 3 escape rooms in Quebec City. The decor is absolutely stunning, with transitions that left us saying “Wow!” time and time again. The puzzles are incredibly creative and very well thought out. Our game master, Aja, was a sweetheart and played along even when we were talking nonsense ;) The only downside was that we had a technical glitch that halted our progress for a little while, and the game master had to step in to manually reset it. But hey, these things happen 10/10 for Marcheurs de Rêves!

An incredible Mad Max vibe from start to finish! I went with my dad—it was his first escape room—and we managed to make it out just in the nick of time. While the very first puzzle is pretty complex and really makes you rack your brain, the rest flows more smoothly. The Game Master was very friendly, played his role well, and helped us a lot. I recommend playing this with two people if you’re experienced, or with three if you’re in a more casual group.
