Escape Masters is an immersive escape room destination in the heart of Griffintown, one of Montréal's most up-and-coming districts — a place built around real-life themes and carefully crafted adventures designed to transport you into another world. What sets it apart is the attention to atmosphere: realistic sets, thoughtful decor, and a smart use of electronics and innovative touches that heighten the mood and spring unexpected surprises, all refined and improved over years to deliver the best possible experience. It's the kind of place whose twists stay with you for days after you've escaped.
There are four rooms to discover, each a 60-minute mission for 2 to 7 players, and each with its own distinct world. Once Upon a Mind casts you as "mind agents" entering the dreams of a child trapped in relentless nightmares, racing to restore his happy memories before his own subconscious stops you (Medium, 2–5 players). Zombie Apocalypse drops you among the last survivors of a zombie-overrun world, breaking into a mad scientist's house in search of a rumoured antidote (Medium–Hard, and wheelchair-accessible). Spy Room is the toughest of the set — a high-tech hunt through a vanished secret agent's apartment, full of hidden surprises to crack against the clock (Hard, 2–7 players, with four or more recommended). And the Italian Mafia Restaurant sends you investigating a closed restaurant for the hidden loot of a bank heist, down into the secret underworld of the mob (Easy–Medium, and accessible for limited mobility).
That last theme comes with a standout twist: Escape Masters is one of the few venues in Montréal to offer dual identical rooms, so two groups can play the Italian Mafia Restaurant side by side and race to see who escapes fastest — accommodating up to 14 players simultaneously. Paired with a spacious 700-square-foot lobby for groups to gather before and after, it makes Escape Masters an ideal spot for corporate team-building, birthday parties, sports clubs, and gatherings of all kinds. The games are a genuinely great way to see who your group's natural leaders and problem-solvers are, as teams work together to crack puzzles and uncover hidden secrets.
Practical details are straightforward: all rooms run 60 minutes and play in both French and English, with difficulty adjustable for all ages (players under 14 must be accompanied by an adult). Pricing runs around $30–$34 per player depending on group size (roughly $30 each for 6–7 players, up to $34 for 2–3), with kids aged 6–10 around $23 and children under 6 free. Reservations can be rescheduled or fully refunded up to 48 hours ahead. Immersive, inventive, and made for teamwork, Escape Masters is a memorable challenge in the heart of Griffintown — so gather your team, sharpen your strategy, and see if you have what it takes to escape in 60 minutes.
