Le Jubilé d'Or [The Golden Jubilee]

While this is nowhere near THE room to see while at Escaparium, Golden Jubilee was still a joy to play. The first room was beautiful, and the second room was something we've never experienced before and I thoroughly enjoyed it!! The ending felt anticlimactic—we actually didn't even know we'd won until the GM told us through the walkie talkie, but the room was still delightful. Some puzzle types we'd never seen before, the majority of which had great themeing as well. This room would be a market standout in many cities, and personally I think the mixed reviews are only because it is situated amongst the greats.

Clearly one of their rooms to destroy to make another one, they've gotten so much further along that this room is outdated

The room was good and had a very good theme. It had a confusing puzzle close to the beginning that we managed to get through using hints and some luck. The pitch black section was also novel for me and it was pretty cool having to rely on your other senses. The "other teams" audio was also confusing at some points and the game master would have to guide us on the right path. Overall 7/10.

We did this room by accident. We came to Montreal specifically to do escape rooms and have 9 other rooms planned....well, silly me, I thought I booked Project RESET and didn't. But I didn't realize it until 1 hour before the start time..... with such short notice, this room was the only room available that fit our time slot. Well, it was a happy mistake because we really enjoyed this room, especially the 2nd part. It is unlike anything we have seen before. And it had one of our favorite puzzles of any of the 9 rooms we did, including some of the top rooms in the world. I would definitely recommend this as a fun little room if you like puzzles.

Escaparium has the best escape games!

The first half of the room is beautiful and fun, I personally did not like the second part but it was still a challenging and fun room, just wish the second part kept the same style as the first half.

What a fun and unique room! I am always leery about doing a room that is done in darkness, but I needn't have worried. Escaparium did it again! The first chamber of the room is fully lit and decorated to the hilt! I loved the look and feel of the mine shaft. It combined the realism of the rocks and equipment with the comically cartoonish gemstones that littered the space. The second chamber was completely dark so I can only say the set felt very satisfying. The tech was a high point of the room for me. You are racing against another mining family attempting to beat you to the prize so every time you solve a puzzle you are treated to some banter between the three competitors which was a fun addition. The puzzles were well incorporated into the room and had a neat sound puzzle that I really enjoyed. The highlight for me were the puzzles in the dark section. I loved that they incorporated touch and sound puzzles in a way that were both challenging to complete but so satisfying when completed. A great way to start your Saturday morning adventures!

This was a fun game, though it felt a little short compared to other games at Escaparium. There is very immersive and beautiful decor, and puzzles we had not done before elsewhere.

We are surprised by the less than positive reviews on this one. This is more of a traditional escape room with great puzzles, but it is a dark room, I guess isn't for everyone. This was the second dark room for two of us and first for the other two in our group and we enjoyed the challenge. The GM did not break game play and the puzzles explained themselves which we loved. There was one issue with a puzzle piece not being the appropriate size for the puzzle logic, but it was easy to figure out taking into account. Not the immersive theatre type of the newer rooms but we love puzzles and this room is solid for using your non visual senses. Minor: in the first room there was one puzzle that had slightly incorrect game pieces/clues that would have made it impossible for inexperienced players without brute forcing. We loved the second room and exploring to solve on our own. The GM noted some elements of the second room have changed over the years to improve gameplay. I guess we like dark rooms - and audio cues, but it is definitely a challenge. Puzzles 🧩: 8.5/10 Set/Wow Factor ✨: 7/10 Story/Immersion 🔮: 8/10 Fun factor 🤘: 8.5/10
