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)!

Do yourself a favor and do this room! This is my number 1 favorite room of all time out of 200 rooms. Its more thrilling than scary. So many cool puzzles i have never seen before. The set made my jaw drop. This is the future of escape rooms.

Okay literally what are you talking about with this game 🤯🤯 was this five stages? Six? Every time something else was revealed we were like, there's MORE?! This theme slash level of creep (not scare) is not my usual fare but no enthusiast should miss this room. As with others at this business, the build quality is off the charts, but each in a totally different way. The scale of this one is just beyond and will make you feel like, wow someone made ALL THIS just so I could enjoy it for 90 minutes?! Just outstanding, and the puzzles particularly in the first half really add to the immersive journey, rather than feeling like things you solve inside the space.

What can I say this is the best immersive experiences I’ve never made but was it the best escape game ? No. It felt like a lot of puzzles needed the help of the character to be understood. But, you definitely gotta play this game, the decor is unmatched, I’ve never seen an escape game this big and this beautiful !

Gameplay

The atmosphere was the best I’ve never seen in any experience!

Phenomenal! Set, puzzles, theatrics, all just perfectly executed. What more can I say? It's top tier. Play it! After playing Wardrobe for Sale, Rain Corp, and Voodoo Queen, we decided to make Cathedral our 500th room! It was absolute worthy. The owner came to personally congratulate us on the milestone, and we nerded out with him for a good while. He's as(more?) obsessed as us with escape rooms, and it really shows in his business. We might have come back to Montreal next year just to see what they do next!

Gameplay

Totally unique, great fun. The flow was controlled perfectly by the story and theatrics.

Atmosphere

Starting before you enter, the design is awesome. Once you're into the meat of it, it's incredible.

Customer service

The GM was awesome! All of the staff here are fantastic!

VERY high tech, and the things that are lower tech is that way for a reason and are just as cool.

We heard great things about this experience, so we saved it for our 500th room, and it did not disappoint! The puzzles were fun, the story was engaging, and the set was stunning. Go play this room! The only reason it's not a TERPECA winner yet is because it's too new. I guarantee it will be on the 2023 list.

This is a must-play. It would be worth going to Montreal just to play this game (but of course it is worth going to Montreal for many reasons). This is the closest I have ever been to feeling like I was in a movie. The integration of the puzzles with the scenery and the story is impeccable. You go from one jaw-dropping moment to another but always feel like it is your actions as a team that are causing the story to move forward. I can’t recommend this highly enough.

You’ve never seen a room like this. Huge experience with a solid story and excellent effects. You’ll forget you’re in an escape room, which is a rare feat indeed. Book it.
