Love escape rooms? Adventure City Games shares the same DNA - clues to solve, a team to solve them with, and that satisfying click when it all comes together. The difference: you play outside, on the real streets of Montreal, on your own schedule.
What they have in common
Both bring your group together to think, talk, and figure things out. Both reward curiosity and a little teamwork. And both leave you with stories you'll retell for weeks.
There's a leaderboard at the end too, so if your crew likes a bit of friendly competition, that come-back-and-beat-our-time energy is right there.
Everything that makes escape rooms fun - just with the walls gone. The city is the game.
Where they're different
Where you play: Escape rooms are indoor sets. Adventure City Games uses the real streets, parks, and landmarks of Montreal - your own neighbourhood becomes the playground.
When you play: No booked time slot. Buy your game and start any day within 12 months - a spontaneous Saturday or a free Thursday afternoon.
Group size: Most rooms cap at 6 to 8 players. Adventure City Games works from 2 to 100+ - families, groups of friends, and teams splitting into friendly rivals.
Pace: No locked room, no time slot to book. Explore the city at your own pace, with 30 minutes per clue to keep the challenge alive.
How it runs: It all happens on your phone, right in the browser - no app to download. Press start and the game guides you from there.
If escape rooms are your benchmark for a fun afternoon together, this is a natural next step in Montreal - the same spirit, with more space and more freedom.
