In the heart of Escaparium Laval's massive complex nestles a mysterious monument classified as a World Heritage Site, forgotten for several centuries: an ancient cathedral. Escaparium was built around this characterful building that once served as a sanctuary for a now extinct cult. Archaeological excavations and restoration of the monument have been underway for several years now. This allowed us to make major discoveries on the history of the cathedral and on a certain cult that we name, "The Order". Artifacts of rituals dating back centuries have been found and are currently being investigated. Come take the guided tour through the myths and legends of a forgotten past. A trip which you will never forget. (this is an escape game)!

“This room is a masterclass in special effects—our group was blown away by every aspect of the experience. Two floors in the cathedral was absolutely astounding; rooms like this are the reason we keep coming back to Laval to play. My only note is that the room seems to be best designed for exactly four people, and for us as a group of six, it felt like too many cooks in the kitchen. SLIGHT SPOILER BELOW . . . . This is the first time I've ever seen a breakable prop in an escape room, and that was such a delightful surprise!”

The Admiral has given you direct orders to gather a crew to go in search of the Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen. Finding the right sailors might not be so easy as nobody has lived to tell about such an island or if it actually exists. If you find it, you shall seek and gather the knowledge to what is known as "eternal loneliness" from the Voodoo Queen; something the Admiral greatly seeks but for which you do not know the meaning of.

You and your friends thought it would be a great idea to check out Escaparium’s brand-new bar: FUBAR. The drinks are flowing, the vibes are great—until two frantic scientists burst through the doors... Buckle up—this night out is about to go completely off the rails.

Antique cabinet for sale. Reason for the sale: the previous owner died 2 years ago. Transport not included, you must come and pick it up.

“Our favorite room of the 6 we did at Escaparium! We loved all the others, but this felt like it allowed us to do multiple puzzles like a true escape room and not just as part of a show. Great balance of storytelling and puzzles and amazing theming. Thanks for all your help, Moss!! ❤️❤️”

The AMS (Automated Metro System) has relaunched its automated metro project, and you are the first ones to come and try it. They have allowed us to have a station right here at Escaparium! Hop on board the AMS-2, the second version of this metro system. Back in 1999, the technology still had some flaws, and AMS had shut down the project. But now, the technology is at its peak! This company will revolutionize the future of public transportation. Obviously, absolutely NOTHING can go wrong...

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.

It's 2035 and the metaverse has invaded society with new virtual experiences. This has led to a dramatic increase in crimes committed in this new environment. Metacriminals have therefore invaded the prison system and the situation is now out of control. It has become necessary to ease the pressure in the prisons and to fill the labor shortage which has become worse than ever. The government has therefore launched a new project called R.E.S.E.T. (Rehabilitation, education and self-awareness of errors through technology). This project could allow some metacriminals to obtain their release if they can demonstrate that they are able to learn from their errors or mistakes. You, as metacriminals, have been chosen for this project. This is a unique chance for you to regain your freedom.

“LOOOOVED THIS GAME. Such an innovative and cool concept and design. I can see why this is making waves in escape room conversation. We had so much fun, it was our final game in 3 back to backs after a long weekend and it kept our attention the whole time. Super impressed by it. The puzzles aren’t too challenging or unique but the packaging is pretty special.”

It's a completely renovated Grand Immersia Hotel that's celebrating tonight its official reopening. The creme of la creme of Quebec's people are expected in the iconic lobby, but the event could be a catastrophe... Will it be your fault?

Philippe St-Onge, the psychopath responsible for the deaths of three of your friends in the shack you rented over 10 years ago, is now in prison. Your friend Alex, who survived just like you, has obtained information about the secret location where this madman is being held. Alex wants revenge, but he can’t do it alone. So you decide to embark on his plan, hoping not to relive any bad memories.

You and your friends thought you were only going to have a coffee at our brand-new café-boutique in the Escaparium complex! Everything seemed calm until... NB: This is an immersive experience in a prison universe, presenting puzzles in a new form. This is not a traditional escape room.

The Cadavera family regrets to inform you that the exceptional visit of the... //GLITCH// January 6 1938, I have been alone in the manor since the start of winter. There is a gloom about this place that keeps me up even in the dark of the night. According to my research, it seems the manor was constructed on sacred ground, a possible source of dark magic, a forbidden art that may be at the root of the Cadavera family's wealth. The manor itself seems to have functioned as a sanctuary for a cult named Opus Luminum. It was within the torturous corridors of the north wing that I found a most unusual office. During my nightly rounds, I can hear screams that chill my blood. I believe they come from Celeste, a former butler, who supposedly left to live on a farm, but if rumor is to be believed, actually perished in this dismal room of which I am currently obsessed. Access to this room is categorically forbidden to the butlers, yet my sleepless nights drive me to defiance of this interdiction. I hope I can resist the call...

“Playing this game at 11 PM, our team didn’t know if we would be able to make it through. But once we arrived at the Manor and Cleandre (Morgan) greeted us, we knew we were in for a treat. Morgan was one of the best actors I’ve ever encountered in an escape room. He wasn’t just an actor, he was a comedian and made us laugh throughout the game. I don’t want to spoil anything so I’ll just say make sure you play this game and have fun with it. Could the room be brighter so it’s easier to read certain clues? Yes. Could the ending be strengthened? Yes. But I’m willing to look past that because the game is just so much fun.”

Missing for more than a week; the whole village thinks she ran away, while authorities are declaring she died drowning, her body never to be found. But you and your crew know very well that everyone is wrong, and that her disappearance is only the tip of the iceberg.

“A Stranger Things room with a retro replica set, references galore, and one very memorable moment! But we played this game as a team of 3 at the end of a long 7-game marathon day, and maybe we were too fatigued to fully appreciate it. Some of the signposting felt a little lacking and some of the connections felt tenuous. Still, I think Stranger Things fans will get real kick out of it.”

“Beautiful, immersive decor and truly original puzzles! We needed some help to finish, since we’re beginners (we’ve done fewer than 10 rooms, 2 adults aged 10 and up). We had a lot of fun. The only thing I would have changed is that the music was too loud for our taste toward the end. Other than that, it was #1. Thanks!”
