Escape Quest is a live action, interactive gaming adventure located in downtown St. John’s!  Work with a group of 2-8 players to tackle obstacles, find clues, and escape before time runs out. Each of our five rooms immerses you in a colourful, detailed story full of twists, turns, and excitement! We also have a game show room, Quizy! See the Quizy page for more details on that. We also have a board game shop in our lobby!

Escape rooms are interactive games where players hunt for clues that will help them solve puzzles and riddles. Teams need to work together to unlock locks and overcome obstacles in hopes of escaping under the time limit.

Players enter the room and search for clues to help them solve puzzles. The clock is ticking! Work together to complete the room in 60 minutes or less. Feel the atmosphere! Each of our five rooms will immerse you in a world of wonder and mystery.

No, that would be a terrible fire hazard. Players can leave the room if they need to use the washroom or if there’s an emergency.

Nope! All bookings are private! There are also no actors in the room with you because you couldn’t pay our staff enough to get punched in the face every hour.

You can always ask for help from one of our amazing Quest Guides if you get stuck. Alternatively, you can give up and whisper curse words under your breath until your timer runs out. We recommend you ask for a hint though.

Yes and no. Our games are designed to be challenging, so children under the age of 10 may have trouble with some of our obstacles and clues. That said, we have had younger kids try our games and have a blast with their friends and family. Children 12 and younger must have a paying adult player accompany them.

Yes, you can.  We ask our guests not to take photos or videos while in the room and generally recommend staying off your phone while playing so you aren't sucking out the vibe of the room for others in your party. We'd be happy to take a photo of you and your team in the room after. Just ask!
