★★★★
fun walk and interesting story but would have loved more story after solving and wished there were more real world puzzles
★★★★★
It was pretty interesting and fun, but we did get a little discouraged when we couldn’t figure out the riddles. Well that’s the fun of it right
★★★★★
locations: une belle façon de redécouvrir sa ville et d’en apprendre d’avantage sur son histoire, le tout dans une belle ambiance entre amies

Who's playing tonight?
One pass unlocks the whole group’s phones: the Duo covers 2, the Fellowship 5. From $6.00 per person, with no booking and no set time.
Two phones, two versions of the truth. Argue about the prime suspect over drinks afterwards.
A team of detectives, one accusation, live rankings. Cheaper than the escape room you couldn’t get a slot for, and the kids usually crack the puzzles faster than the adults.
