In the heart of Escaparium Laval's massive complex nestles a mysterious monument classified as a World Heritage Site, forgotten for several centuries: an ancient cathedral. Escaparium was built around this characterful building that once served as a sanctuary for a now extinct cult. Archaeological excavations and restoration of the monument have been underway for several years now. This allowed us to make major discoveries on the history of the cathedral and on a certain cult that we name, "The Order". Artifacts of rituals dating back centuries have been found and are currently being investigated. Come take the guided tour through the myths and legends of a forgotten past. A trip which you will never forget. (this is an escape game)!

Such a good room, the set was better than disney level production etc. One of our favorites despite spooky/horror not being a favorite theme. The aesthetics and decor were on another level just like many of Escaparium games.
One of very best !
Nolan was so helpful and went out of his way for us !!

The Forgotten Cathedral is my second favorite room at this location and across every room I've done, behind Magnifico. I can't praise the set design here enough. It is beautiful and larger than life. While the story isn't as present in the room, the room is incredibly cinematic. There is one sequence that felt like I was in a top tier movie. I really don't want to spoil anything, but even just the way this room starts feels completely unique and took us all by surprise. I will highlight that this room involves a lot of traversal, and we did have a lot more guidance than the others at the start because we were struggling a bit with the puzzles. Other than that, I think it is really immersive and has a lot of tricks up its sleeve.

Holy moly... this room was insane. Definitely spooky but I mostly just felt awestruck at the decor at all times. The intro was really fun and the game was great, as we enjoyed all of the puzzles. I really liked the tools you use in the first part of the game as we hadn't used anything similar.

You need to go up stairs / kind of crawl into a space, and there is a very steep ladder. The ladder does have very sturdy handrails.

Escaparium operates on an entirely different level than any escape room I have done to date. This is something you need to experience for yourself and not let me ruin one moment of it with my review. I loved the way the story was introduced. They break it into two parts. One gives you the technical details needed for the room while the second member explained your situation and set the events in motion. The story is engaging and it is something you really need to pay attention to as it unfolds. Once the game really starts moving it plays out like a movie thriller. It feels exciting and dangerous and feels like you have real stakes! Amazing plot points! The set was something out of a movie as well. The details of all of the sections was mind blowing! The special effects throughout the entire game were something I had never experienced before in any other company before now. The puzzles were complex and really made your group have to work together to solve them and advance. Wow! Please put this room on your must do list!
I know, in theory, the escape rooms were built around the cathedral, but it sort of took me out of the immersion to be able to look into the scene shop.

They say you never forget your first…..Catedral was the first room I did at Escaparium. It set the bar HIGH. I think this room may have my favorite set design of all time. A ridiculous amount of puzzles, fun storyline, and incredible experience all around.

My favorite escape room experience, if it can even be called that, by far. The grand finale is the most climactic and ultimately satisfying one I can remember. An absolute must-do.
Almost without exception the puzzles were woven into the storyline and made our group feel as if we were living in the story.
Cinematically unparalleled in the escape room world. Amazing eye-candy and effects.

You will never look at escape rooms the same way again.

It was the best escape game I've done so far! The decor are completely insane, some puzzle are challenging and always satisfying. It's meanly a linear escape, but with lots of teamwork require which is very fun.

I HATE SCARY ROOMS But. This one was fun! It feels more spooky and mystical with like elements of demons. You don’t have to worry about too many jump, scares or loud noises. The set is very fun and I really like the intro. It feels slightly more believable than other demon or ghost like rooms I played before.
