“9/10 Now THIS is an escape room for the puzzle lovers out there. I would easily rank this the best escape room game in all of Canada. Unbelievable puzzle elements, exceptional tech, absolutely incredible set pieces, tech, lights, sound design, and immersion. Numerous puzzles and hands on gameplay that I have never seen anywhere else. Sauve Qui Peut prioritized tactile gameplay. Every puzzle is hands on with immense satisfaction. The horror element isn’t much. It’s more for immersion and to set the mood rather than scare tactics. I put it at 6/10 on a horror scale. I see a higher rating on the TERPECA list once more people get to experience this wonderful gem of a game.”

“It's crystal clear why this has been rated #1 in the world for a couple years now. This was just room after room after room of pure excitement, thrill, and joy! Every time you move to the next room here you're in a completely different place. The puzzles were excellent and the actors did an impeccable job. Really truly top notch. The set design left me in awe time after time.”

“Holy moly... this room was insane. Definitely spooky but I mostly just felt awestruck at the decor at all times. The intro was really fun and the game was great, as we enjoyed all of the puzzles. I really liked the tools you use in the first part of the game as we hadn't used anything similar.”

“This game had very solid and fun puzzles, and again the set design here was immaculate. The way to interact with your GM in this one was very funny. I will say that there are a lot of tripping hazards on this one. Beware of your surroundings as there are steps up and down that are kind of "hidden" (they blend in well) and there's a "tricky" area once you get to the 2nd room.”

“What a great start to our time spent at Escaparium over the weekend! We started strong here and were absolutely mind blown by the quality of the set, the character interactions, the fun puzzles - everything! When we walked out of this room, we knew our 13 hour round trip drive from RI was easily worth it. They really make it easy to fall in love with the characters here. As some others say, this room did feel a little puzzle light and storyline heavy, so I didn't feel like I got my hands on a lot of puzzles with a team of 6. But the experience is so immersive, that was just fine by me, as I was given the time to look around the set and just be in complete awe. The intro to this one was my favorite and glad we had it first, as we got to giggle when we saw it happening to other groups over the course of our weekend.”

“Escape rooms an immersive theater have always been intertwined genres, but I don’t think I’ve seen such a unique blend until I played Escape Plan. The game was both not an escape room yet filled with interactions that played like puzzles - with the difference being that these types of puzzles would be impossible without such a heavy actor presence. Out of all the prison break games I’ve played, this actually felt like being in a simulated prison break, from the hilarious banter to the massive set to some of the most innovative uses of gameplay I’ve seen. The cutscenes were awesome and super funny, which made downtime fly by when lesser games have fumbled exposition. I experienced a lot of sincere emotion from this game, from joy to satisfaction to anxiety to a little playful indignation at how we were treated in universe (the actors had incredible boundaries and absolutely did not make anyone uncomfortable). I encourage anyone who loves escape rooms as immersive narratives to play this game, with a more outgoing teammate if they’re nervous about the amount of actor interaction. It may not be for hardcore puzzlers, but it is truly a one of a kind, special experience.”

“An excellent room, both in terms of the story and the decor! Very immersive—we were on edge the whole time! We played this room with four players, and we all loved the experience. Out of the four of us, I was the only one who had played the “Weekend at the Cabin” scenario, which turns out to be the one that precedes this one. Whether or not we’d played the previous story didn’t affect the game at all. Seriously, this room set the bar really high! Very well done!”

Learn More about Montreal Escape Rooms
Montreal, Canada, is home to a diverse and exciting selection of escape rooms that make it an enticing destination for both locals and tourists seeking a thrilling and immersive adventure. These escape rooms provide an opportunity to put one's problem-solving skills, creativity, and teamwork to the test as participants find themselves locked inside intricately themed scenarios and must work together to solve a series of clever puzzles, decipher clues, and unravel mysteries in order to escape within a set time limit. Montreal's escape rooms feature a wide range of themes, from historical mysteries set in ancient civilizations to thrilling spy missions, horror scenarios, and futuristic challenges. The attention to detail, captivating storytelling, and ingenious puzzles create an atmosphere of excitement and suspense, ensuring an adrenaline-pumping experience for all participants. Whether you're deciphering ancient codes in an archeological dig, investigating a crime scene as a detective, or navigating through a zombie apocalypse, Montreal's escape rooms guarantee an unforgettable and engaging journey into the world of enigmas and surprises. Whether you're an experienced escape room enthusiast or a first-time player, these experiences offer an entertaining and challenging activity that fosters teamwork and leaves participants with a sense of accomplishment and a desire to take on even more daring challenges.
How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
