Who it's for

From Moncton City Hall, this outdoor escape game winds through downtown past St. John's United Church, Parc des arts du Sommet and the Bell Aliant Tower, with Oz puzzles set in the streets. Friends who normally book an indoor escape room, or Oz readers chasing the leaderboard solo, get about 90 minutes of puzzle-solving. Pick an indoor room if you want a host with hints or a roof overhead.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an escape room in downtown Moncton?
This is an outdoor escape-room-style game played on your phone in downtown Moncton. It starts at Moncton City Hall and leads you through 11 stops, including Parc des arts du Sommet, St. George's Anglican Church and the Bell Aliant Tower, with puzzles built around the places you reach.
Is this escape room priced per person?
No. Unlike many indoor escape rooms, it is not charged per head: one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated. You can also play on your own and compete against the leaderboard if you prefer a solo challenge.
How long does it take, and do we need to book a time?
Plan on around 90 minutes. There is no booking slot, so you can start any time you like at Moncton City Hall. You can also pause partway through and continue later if your group wants a break.
Is it good for kids?
The story is inspired by L. Frank Baum's original 1900 Oz novel, and players team up to outsmart the witch by cracking puzzles, with original Oz-themed songs along the way. Families with kids or teens play it together, with adults helping younger players on the trickier clues.
Is it outdoors, and what if it rains?
The game is played outdoors on downtown streets, so dress for the weather. Because there is no fixed start time, you can choose a dry day, and if the weather turns you can pause and pick up where you left off later.
