The holidays were drawing to a close, yet your thirst for adventure kept pushing you further. A hike through a remote region, a trail forgotten on every map… It was exactly what you needed. But the villagers in the last town seemed uneasy when you asked questions, vaguely mentioning forgotten ruins, a sky forever overcast, and a path barely passable, like they’d rather avoid the topic altogether. Ruins! That alone was enough to spark your curiosity. The trail led deep into a forest where daylight barely pierced the thick canopy. Bit by bit, the fog thickened, clinging to the branches. The air grew heavier, damp with a biting chill. Beneath your feet, the ground felt denser… almost still. Then, silence fell. Absolute silence. Not a rustling leaf, not a single birdcall. As if nature itself were holding its breath. And then, in the heart of the darkness, it appeared. A towering castle, frozen in time. Its shattered towers clawed at the sky, its cracked walls seemed to watch you. The air around it felt heavier, suffocating, as if the place itself refused to let go of those who came too close. The wind had died. Nothing moved. The castle stood before you. And it was waiting.

This was such a unique experience! A great blend of puzzles, story telling, physical activities , and surprises! You truly are part of this story and your actions move things forward. This had several elements that I have not seen in an escape room (played 660), so that was a plus! It’s absolutely in my top 5! -note- I wouldn’t say it was “scary”, and would say more spooky. I think the 16 yo age minimum is a fair policy for this game.

This experience encompasses everything that I want out of escape room. Adventure, discovery, story, mental challenges, big physical challenges and above all surprise elements. IF YOU CAN, AVOID SPOILERS AT ALL COSTS! The ‘surprise moment’ in this game was one of the most thrilling I’ve ever had. I think people who have moaned about it are just suffering from ‘whatabout-ism’. All of the safety measures and disclaimers are in place for this moment and it’s SOOOOO cool and fun. The story of the game was heartfelt and exciting. The puzzles had a decent challenge to them while the physical elements of the game made a huge impact on the enjoyment of the experience. Overall one of the best escape rooms out there proving once again that Quebec Province is a leader in the escapes industry globally.

Gameplay

The game was broken down into sections almost of story time, mental exercise and physical which I thought was really cool.

Atmosphere

BEAUTIFUL set. My only sadness was that the scale wasn’t bigger and that’s just because I wanted more. The craftsmanship of this experience is really excellent.

Customer service

Staff were very keen to make sure all the safety awareness was given prior to the game. Our games master was Matthew who was so attentive and great. We specifically appreciated how detailed the debrief was.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

The surprise moment in this game was truly one of the most exciting I have experienced in an escape room. I think people who don’t like it are devoid of fun.

Story

Clear and woven into the design throughout the game. It informs many of the challenges and has a great pay off story time at the end which had me in full body chills!

Difficulty

Medium

The puzzles were challenging without being too intense. The second puzzle is definitely my least favourite and created some frustrations but the game in itself had some great puzzles with a decent challenge to them.

The SD card cut out at the last minute of the game so we had the final game moment in silence however I think it ended up being weirdly more powerful.

I know there’s been some controversy about “the surprise” in this regard but I would say that every safety measure has been taken thereby making it more of a shock than any danger to your health/body.

Phenomenally designed game that is completely deserving of its TERPECA ranking. Like anything, not every game is going to be for everyone and this one certainly won’t be for everyone. If you’re comfortable with its unique elements, you’re sure to have an incredible time. Side note: the owner Steven and his manager Shawn are incredibly kind people who are deeply passionate about what they do. If they’re there when you play, say hi!

4-6 would be fine. We played as 6 very experienced players and it was totally fine. More puzzle hungry players might enjoy playing with less

Sauve Qui Peut has seriously levelled up with The Castle of Eternal Suffering. They’ve built an immersive, fantastical world with interesting characters and beautiful environment. Every time we entered a new space it was exciting because we didn’t know where the story and gameplay was headed next. As a colourblind player, there were more colour puzzles in this game than I think I’ve ever encountered in a game. But because the puzzles were so engaging, I didn’t mind it, and my helpful teammates coached me through them, allowing me to participate.

What an incredible game! The world of this story felt near completely immersive, the puzzles were challenging and fun. There was a balanced mix between physical action, communication, logic, and creativity needed to escape. There was snakelike 1 area that was a non-intuitive puzzle to solve due to the decor not matching the rest of the (very skeletal) theming, and we got ssssstuck on that for a bit. The ending was really unique and surprising! Great lighting, sound, and practical effects throughout.

A superb, well-rounded experience—a beautiful, fluid story that integrates seamlessly with the puzzles without veering into immersive theater. The interactions with the actors and the “surprises” were a real highlight—very well done.

I give it a high rating because it goes beyond the traditional “you have to crawl through a hidden passage”—the physical challenge comes at a specific point in the game and is more fun than it is difficult.

An absolutely incredible room and the undoubted crown jewel of SQP. From the size and exquisite decor of the set to the immersive lighting and sound effects, media and animatronics, and wide range of challenging puzzles, everything about this room was world class. Backed by a strong story and featuring multiple wow moments — including a fun physical component and one of the best and most unexpected “jump scares” ever — this was a true pleasure from start to finish. The presence and design of the live actor was the cherry on top. My only regret is that we finished the room way too fast (leaving 33 minutes on the table) and should have taken more time to appreciate the experience. Unquestionably worth the drive from Montreal, or in our case, the flight from Australia.
