Armoire a Vendre [Wardrobe for Sale]

Fun, creative puzzles that integrate into a complete and emotionally satisfying story. Linear gameplay in the later part of the game prevented all team members from participating fully, and it was often difficult to figure out what to do next.

Incredible, immersive setting. Parts of the set are breathtakingly beautiful and worth just pausing to take in.

Escaparium Laval has some of the most friendly, welcoming staff I've encountered at an escape room venue.

The story is really a story, rather than a scenario to give the players a reason to be in the space, and it's a good story. The art direction is phenomenal. And the entrance to the game is delightful.

See above.

The puzzles themselves are not particularly complicated; the difficulty is (unfortunately) in figuring out what to do. Once it's clear what to do next, completing the puzzles is like playing fun little games.

Most of the game is quite spacious; there is one space that would feel cramped with more than five people. However, gameplay later in the game is linear, so there's not a lot for a large group to do.

There is a character who might look scary to children, but there are no jump scares or characters who actively menace players.

Parts of the game feel like they were designed for children, while other parts would probably be a little too mature (themes they might not be old enough to understand) for younger ones. I definitely think children would be delighted by certain elements of the game.

Everything seemed to work as designed, although the game did feel a little worn around the edges.

The game features several characters. The GM interacts with players throughout, and the character is delightful. Acting was excellent and added emotional resonance to the story. No actors menace the players.

This game requires no climbing or crawling, although there is one puzzle that is near the floor.

There is no climbing or crawling required, so from that standpoint, the game is not physically demanding. However, it is a long game, and there are no good places to sit down. Color recognition is necessary to solve several puzzles, and there are a couple of puzzles that use sound, as well.

Everyone will need to climb stairs and deal with uneven terrain. There is an audio puzzle.

Amazing amazing amazing

The setting was very whimsical and the special effects blew us out of the water!

Without spoilers, there’s one particularly cute character that we all loved and I became extremely attached to. Tbh she’s like a real person to me and I miss her 😔

yes yes yes!! iykyk. but seriously, without spoiling anything that’s really all I can say

The whole set was used really well! Little clues hidden everywhere, extremely immersive, and conveyed the story perfectly

you’ll see

We had six, but there were a few portions where one or two players didn’t have as much to do

had some issues at the very end with some elements in the room that were part of a puzzle to not light up, and also something that caused the GM to not realize we’d completed a puzzle. Added a LOT of time to our final time and made the ending a little less climactic, but it didn’t sour my taste of the room at all.

And they’re amazing

not super

I wish there was a higher tier I could rate this. It’s so whimsical and lovely ❤️
