Escape from the Tower

Experience Escape the Tower, the true-to-life escape game based on the secret ASDIC Development of Sonar Technology at Casa Loma. THE allied submarine detection investigation committee originally based in London was destroyed during the World War II German bombing known as the London Blitz. The British Admiralty contacted Corman Engineering to secretly create a new ASDIC in Canada which could be securely housed away from detection. William Corman handpicked a dozen engineers to help in the development of Sonar to assist the allied troops. He selected Casa Loma as the location, for he felt it would be an unlikely suspected laboratory — especially since it was being used to hold dances every Saturday night. The covert operation began in 1941, and only a handful of workers and Kiwanis Club members were aware of its existence. Ironically, the only thing keeping the public from accessing the laboratories was a padlock and a sign that read "CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS — SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE" As you walk through the towers you will observe props and replicas which create the backdrop for the Escape the Tower Experience.
