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

I was exhausted when I played this game and it was still so so fun. I think our tired energy meant we weren’t as switched on as normal but that didn’t impact our enjoyment, only our game play. The actor (Jeremy) was so great and such a fun addition to the game, he really elevated the experience. I loved the variety of spaces and the dynamic puzzles.

Hmm near the top of my list

This was our first of 9 rooms for our trip to Montreal. I read another review that said be careful with this room if you get motion sickness. I figured it wouldn't be that bad.... it was that bad! I didn't want to miss out on this room because it is so highly rated and looked fun. But it would have been worth missing, IMO. There are other more fun rooms to do. I spent a fair portion of the time leaning up against a wall trying to keep my bearings. That said, the set is cool. The very first part of this game made us realize this was an escape room on a whole nother level.

Escaparium has the best escape games!

This exciting action thriller was our first game at Escaparium Laval and it did not disappoint! The set was expectedly spacious, the tech was seamless as we knew it would be, and the puzzles were naturally thematic and diegetic; but what made the experience stand out was the brilliance of the live actor, who controlled pacing of the game and the storytelling to ensure we got the most out of the experience. It’s amazing how Escaparium can pull off such ambitious concepts at a level of quality that goes beyond merely a big budget.

To enjoy The Final Stop, you have to be comfortable interacting with a verbally aggressive live actor. I felt so uncomfortable, I could not enjoy this experience. While this room is not scary, the actor slams things, which can cause jump scares. The actor did not respect my request for no jump scares, so I ended up having to beg for the slamming to stop. My fear was exacerbated because I was already on edge due to the aggression. Also, if you are motion-sick prone, ask them to turn off the train rocking before entering the room. The issues with the actor aside, this was the weakest storyline I did at Escaparium. There was only one puzzle in the room that I found inventive; the rest were unoriginal or poorly designed. At some point, the game master didn’t trigger the next step when we unlocked it, leading to an unnecessary delay. Even if the actor was eliminated, the room itself leaves much to be desired.

The actress and the lady working there that picked us up from the room after we finish both need to be fired. The room itself is fine. Nothing special TBH.

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.

This game felt like a sleeper pick amongst the sea of incredible games here. It was so much fun, and the actor really pushes this from good to great! The second half was weaker than the first half. We wish there was more tension and more things to do in the second half. It is still an excellent game and well worth a play on a visit to Escaparium

This room was way more fun and engaging than I was expecting for the theme. It was so much fun! We had a great time and a blast! Huge thank you to the GM / actor that ran our experience!
