The Filioni Circus was once one of the most impressive shows in the world. The many artists of this circus gave their body and soul for their art and always entertained the public. Young and old walked with great joy on the paths around the big circus tent. When suddenly, for some mysterious reason, the Filioni circus closed its doors. Now abandoned for decades, you go on location to revisit this beautiful era. You will not be alone, the famous Viviera, world-renowned mentalist, still rules the site. Keeping prisoner what remains of the artists … their souls. Can your presence thwart Viviera’s evil plan or, on the contrary, will you be the missing element to complete it?

I thought this game was so charming. The set was immersive, the actor was great, and we laughed a lot in this room. I love a room that has enough puzzles for everyone to split up, work on some things, trade off puzzles, and come back to put it all together. This was exactly that for me.

I love this one. A fun escape room with a circus theme that works out very well to create some fun puzzles. The production value is very good as well.

The extent of a physical effort was climbing a few steps.

🎪🎩 I was SO charmed by this game from the set, story, clever circus-themed puzzles, and even the role of the live actor. Fantastic pacing all the way to the story climax. Possibly my new favourite Immersia game and just favourite in general. Shout out to our amazing GM, Priscillia!

A great hidden gem at Immersia Boisbriand. On our trip, unfortunately Project RESET was damaged from flooding, but we were able to play all 4 other games and Circus was my favorite of the 4. You are led by a character who introduces you to the story, and then sets you loose to start puzzling. The circus, as you'd expect, is full of many non-linear puzzles for multiple people to do at once, ranging from circus games to scavenging, to even basic math. At the end the game gets a bit more linear. What sets this apart is the theming, the atmosphere, and the narrative integration, which they really do well here. Our GM/actor also did a great job in her character, and there was plenty of room for silly banter. I feel like 4 is the perfect amount of people for this experience. Would recommend this as a don't miss at Immersia and any trip to Montreal.

This game did a good job of capturing carnival games and circus tropes. The set was good and felt fun, and puzzles made sense. I thought the ending sequence was the best and most climactic of Immersia's 5 games.

5 enthusiasts was too many, there was often someone standing around with nothing to do.

There's a small interaction maybe 2/3 of the way through, but it was one of our group's favorite moments.

This was a fun room with an interesting theme! The hint system was neat, it contained one of my favorite puzzle types of all time, and the ending was enjoyable especially with a group. My only (very small) complaint is the timer system - it's very innovative (a waning moon) but BOY it was hard to accurately gauge exactly how much time you had left. I thought for sure we were cutting it super close but we had over 10 minutes left.

Immersia is a must play location. Circus of the Lost Souls was our last of five games played here today while on the REA tour. Circus was our team’s favorite of the day. Entertaining set, fun puzzles, a solid story line and lots of fun with our GM and the hint system.
