Alice et le Chapeau Du Chapeau Fou du Chapelier Fou [Alice and the Mad Hatter's Mad Hat's Hat]

This is a tough call to rate. The props, when they exist, are great - I've played a couple Alice games, and I think this one felt the most "Alice"-y. However, the first area feels a little empty. Puzzles were the weak point of the room. I wish puzzle signposting was better, but puzzles were fine once we got on track. An early puzzle slowly dribbled relevant information, which could be frustrating if it's the only thing left; it was also ambiguous about what was relevant. A puzzle about two thirds of the way through that seems like you have one chance to get the relevant information; if you miss it, you'll need to take a hint to recover, which didn't feel great either. Audio levels were a bit of a problem - some sound effects were oddly loud, while some dialog wasn't loud enough. Overall, I think the great props outweighed the negatives I mentioned, but I could see a reasonable person disagreeing. I think it might come down to how much you like an Alice theme - if it doesn't do anything for you, there are probably better rooms.

nice decor but a but boring. not the best

We played this game with 2 adults and 2 children aged 9 and 12, plus I had my eight-month-old baby in a front baby carrier. We enjoyed the variety of puzzles that combined tech elements with a bit of lock and key. However, on two occasions, even though we had the correct solution, the mechanisms did not unlock. We had to call on our game master, who confirmed that we were correct and was able to open them remotely for us. This room was probably built several years ago and was surely very impressive at the time. Today, it feels like it might need a little refresh. However, that did not stop us from enjoying the immersion in the game. At times, we also found that some sounds were a bit too loud. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience. Nous avons fait ce jeu à 2 adultes et 2 enfants de 9 et 12 ans, en plus d’avoir mon bébé de huit mois dans un porte bébé ventral. Nous avons aimé la variété des énigmes qui combinaient des éléments techno avec un peu de cadenas. À deux reprises par contre, malgré que nous avions la bonne solution, les mécanismes ne s’étaient pas débloqués. Nous avons dû faire appel à notre maître de jeu qui nous a confirmé que c’était bon et elle a pu nous les ouvrir à distance. Cette salle a probablement été construite il y a plusieurs années et était sûrement très impressionnante à l’époque. Aujourd’hui, on avait l’impression que ça mériteraient peut-être un petit rafraîchissement. Par contre, ça ne nous a pas empêché d’apprécier l’immersion dans le jeu. Par moment aussi on trouvait qu’il y avait certains sons un peu trop forts. En somme, nous avons bien aimé notre expérience!

Un de meilleurs décors que j’ai vue j’ai été très impressionné par le respect du thème et nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à simplement se retrouver dans le monde d’Alice parfait pour la famille si vous voulez amusez tout le monde

More unique room, though definitely showing its age. Many of the props and decor are damaged. They attempted to make it more of a mind bending set of puzzles than logic based. They are still pretty logic based just more vague hints. One musical clue it is almost impossible to tell the difference between the tones (if there even is one). Lots of mirrors used (one is a mirror into a mirror making it hard to see). There is a video with a much longer than needed (to the point of frustration) time between loops. But mostly there is damaged foam, magnets that have lost their power, trying to see something in a dark space, and inserting a small item into something that looks like it might get stuck, and of course a floor that was pealing up. Ended up needing a lot more clues than I really should have. And a lot seemed to be automated or improperly reset. Needed to complete two connected puzzles to get the final key to one part, likely because another part wasn't properly reset and opened on its own. Everything appears to be manually triggered by the GM (I admit it saves money on sensors, and our GM was definitely paying attention most of the time though some hints started multiple steps back from where we were). Multiple things pointed to this, including almost completing something and it being triggered before we did.

Ouinnnnnn vraiment pas la meilleure expérience de jeu que j’ai eu de ma vie malheureusement. C’était la première fois que j’amenais mon père faire un jeu d’évasion et il ne voulait plus en faire par la suite, tout était brisé et le game master ne voulais pas être là… ordinaire, mais surtout: décevant. Je ne recommande pas les jeux qui semblent laissés à l’abandon.

Beautiful decor and a super fun experience! Getting to interact with a character the entire game was something that added to the experience.

Unfortunately this game was a bit of a miss for us. While the decor is fun, we had some issues with the puzzles, and were left feeling underwhelmed.

Première visite chez Escaparium Dorval (je vais à la succursale de Laval habituellement). Expérience horrible. Le GM était un peu dans les vapes. On lui demandait des indices et il ne répondait pas. Fallait lui demander 3-4 fois de suite son attention avant qu’il réponde. En plus, ses réponses à nos indices n’étaient pas cohérentes. Il nous donnait des réponses à des énigmes qu’on avait déjà résolues. Un cadenas était défectueux et la compagnie le sait. Ils nous envoient quelqu’un pour l’ouvrir quand ils se rendent compte qu’on arrive pas à le débloquer meme avec la bonne combinaison (on a dû faire la bonne combinaisons au moins 2-3 fois avant qu’ils ne s’ent aperçoivent). Plus tard, dans une autre portion du jeu, d’autres mécanismes étaient aussi défectueux. Ça défait un peu l’enthousiasme du game play. Pour ces raisons, nous n’avons plus trop envie d’aller à la succursale de Dorval.

Overall it is a great game , the puzzles are good but the decor really needed to maintained more by the staff, everything was broken, a lot of things were missing parts or were clearly visibly broken or not clean.
