Le Dernier Arrêt - V2 [The Final Stop - V2]

This room was good, not great. I think it suffered from being too spare. I appreciate that everything in each space gets used, but there weren't *enough* things in each space, which meant that it was usually pretty obvious what to do with the things that were there. The story was predictable, especially considering the law of conservation of characters.

The set design was over the top, of course. Very realistic at times Truly enjoyed this room.

Nice venue, great interaction with the game master

A great balance between the immersive elements and a traditional escape room. The interaction with the actor was perfectly tailored to our group; we were particularly impressed by the game master, who had fun playing along with the group’s vibe.

The set design here was impeccable and I really enjoyed this one. Though as others have mentioned, there is an area that may cause a bit of motion sickness. I was feeling a bit iffy at some points, but made it through just fine. The thing is that while the stuff is happening to create the motion sickness, you are working on the hardest puzzles of them all. There were a couple in this section that felt super tough, even for a group of 6 experienced escapers. Very fun actor interactions in this one.

It was really weird to walk into this room and recognize it from St Louis. I worked at an escape room there when I was living in MO and knew it had been sold to a company. Imagine my surprise when it I saw it here. At first, I thought I would just hang back and let the others play but I did not have to fear as they had completely revamped the game and added almost all new puzzles! The basic theme stayed the same but with some added twists to keep it fresh! The set was as good as I remembered and there was a brand new section as well. The details were as good as I remembered and then some. The puzzles had been improved upon and it made for a great experience. My only complaint, and it is minor, was the tech outside the windows of the subway car were out of synch throughout the game. Overall, this was a fun game but, in my opinion, there are better games to play at this location.

Caution: motion sickness! (Spoiler at very end regarding sickness) Probably had some of my more favorite puzzles at Escaparium. In other rooms, you may have to rely more on live actor to solve puzzles. In this room, they are really only there for the story. I felt like our group solved more puzzles on our own and I found that to be more fun! I liked this plot a lot and I think it’s exciting when you figure it out towards the end. Spoiler that you should talk to your GM about motion sickness with screens before starting the room. The very beginning has a lot of screens.

Final Stop was the first room we did at Escaparium. They were having technical difficulties so we didn’t exactly get all the rules before we started. We still completed the room and such but we missed extremely important rules like: dont push the red buttons unless its an emergency and that the puzzles cant be solved if an actor is talking to you. You need to pay attention to the story and certain elements wont be repeated. Ok, on to the room. The Final Stop is pretty solid and definitely immersive. But one of the ambiance effects was giving me motion sickness after a while. The background music is also quite loud to the point where it’s hard to hear each other and the actors and I’ve found this to be a trend throughout the games at escaparium. Aside from that, this was a solid room, I definitely felt immersed in the story and characters. I’m from New York City and the story is mildly troubling considering the city’s history. (I’m not trying to say it couldn’t be Montreal’s subway. But some of the videos shown I recognized as NYC metro stops). But I’ve definitely heard of wilder escape room themes. 😂😂😂
