In a secret military facility on the island of Montreal, a group of scientists dedicated their lives to uncover a method in which they could control the minds of the general population. This project was led by the great Professor Ivashenko. According to their theory, you must first weaken the subject’s body and consciousness in order to achieve full control. Experiments on subjects were held in complete secrecy, supervised by the Government and Army. The best method found was to inject artificially-made viruses into their system, allowing full access to their minds. However, after countless experiments, prisoner “P” unexpectedly became stronger rather than weaker and soon overpowered the scientists, gaining access to all their research. Using his new mind-controlling ability, he escaped the secret facility leaving it in lock-down. Upon contact with the outside world, the virus rapidly started mutating resulting in slight coughs, which soon turned into high-body temperatures creating large amounts of sweat. Within a 24-hour period, subject “P” was dead. However, the virus turned out to be highly contagious – a single touch would transfer the virus from one body to the other. Within weeks, an epidemic begins throughout the island – even the greatest scientists are hopeless to find a cure. In order to do so, it is necessary to extract subject “P”’s blood to discover the nature of the mutation.

2 escape rooms

Recommended for first-timers because it’s not too hard or too easy and it has great elements to introduce people into the world of escape-rooming! If we come back to Montreal, we would love to try other escape rooms at this location!

Gameplay

The gameplay flowed very well. It was my brother’s family’s first time playing an escape room and they loved it. They loved that it was a multi-room experience and that it was a mixture of tech and locks.

Atmosphere

Immersive and hands-on! The atmosphere was creepy but not scary. It was really well-decorated!

Customer service

The person who welcomed us was uncaring. She let us in early but didn’t care to be friendly. Maybe it was because we dropped by on the weekend of the long weekend? The gentleman who met us at the end of the experience was friendly, though. I had to come out to the front desk to let them know we were done with the room; they weren’t paying attention.

Accessibility

It’s doable for those who have mobility issues. Those with hearing and vision and color blindness might have a bit of an issue

Easy to find location

Yes

Easy to find, but parking was difficult to come across because they don’t have their own parking lot.

Parking

Limited

You have to park around the neighborhood but be careful because some zones have specific passes that have to be stamped on your vehicle. We saw a few cars with tickets because they were parked illegally/did not have the zone stamp on their cars. We were lucky to find a spot on Rue Rose-De-Lima. Note: parking spots are parallel parking!

Safety

Yes

The decor is nice, and the story is interesting. The puzzles, however, are easy and very linear. If you’ve played a lot of escape games, you’ll probably finish quickly. It took us 40 minutes because of a glitch in one of the puzzles—we had to spend about 7–8 minutes on it even though we had everything right.
