PERSONAL GUIDES
From arrival to departure, a Game Master will be with you to provide hints and insure you have fun with the game, avoiding any unforeseen misunderstandings, malfunctions or confusions.
100% LOCAL
Our missions are 100% unique, hand-crafted and developed right here in Victoria. We never buy repackaged themes from franchise companies back east or off-shore.
NOT SCARY – WE PROMISE!
We believe that escape rooms are at their best when they challenge and stimulate our minds, not frighten or startle us. Our games feel more like Da Vinci Code, Indiana Jones or Mission Impossible, not Saw.
INDOOR OR OUTDOOR
We offer both indoor and outdoor adventures. No matter the season or weather forecast we have the game for you!
BOOK ONLINE
Book and pay online any time, from anywhere with an internet connection. We accept credit card, VisaDebit, etransfer, or PayPal.
BOOKINGS AVAILABLE 24/7
We are BY APPOINTMENT ONLY and do not allow drop-ins. Instead we are open for advance bookings 24-hours a day, 7 days a week for maximum flexibility of scheduling for your group.

TURNING ESCAPE ROOMS INSIDE OUT!
A group of Neo-Luddite terrorists calling themselves the "Freedom Club" have acquired a stolen ex-Soviet nuclear warhead on the black market. It is a high yield thermo-nuclear MIRV capable of destroying an entire city. The warhead has been tracked to southern Vancouver Island, where intelligence analysts believe it is being hidden in a terrorist safe-house somewhere in the downtown core of sleepy Victoria. Find the hideout, infiltrate the security and disarm the bomb.

Our Vaccine Policy
At Victoria Escape Games we do everything possible to keep our players and staff healthy during the global pandemic.
Escape rooms are about using your brains. Reason and rational thinking are the foundations of the scientific method and form the cornerstone of what escape rooms are about. Failure to follow the well-understood methods of science and critical thinking leads to ignorance and error. The anti-vaxx movement is a prime example of this.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but they are not entitled to their own facts. The two-centuries-old science of vaccinology is exhaustively studied and the facts around COVID are increasingly clear. The Delta variant is not only ravaging the unvaccinated, it is also capable of “breakthrough” infection of those who have done everything right and received full vaccination.
Much like drunk drivers, anti-vaxxers not only endanger themselves, they are a clear danger to everyone around them. Those who are eligible to be vaccinated but choose not to be—through ignorance, malice, or mere lazy negligence—place the health and well-being of the rest of us in jeopardy.
In a democracy, the rights of one person end where they infringe upon the rights of another. Therefore, effective immediately and until further notice, all voluntarily unvaccinated individuals are no longer welcome at Victoria Escape Games. All staff and players must be vaccinated if they are eligible. Those who fail to show proof when asked will be denied entry without refund. If you choose not to be vaccinated, PLEASE GO ELSEWHERE.
Those with medical exemptions are welcome. Children under 12-years are currently exempt, however once vaccines have been approved for them this policy will be expanded to include all age cohorts.
For those who have followed the science and been vaccinated, please rest assured that Victoria Escape Games remains a safe place for you, and an unwelcoming place for those who spread ignorance and disease to the communal detriment of all.
Sincerely,
The Management and Ownership

Mission briefing
Four years ago Professor Charles McMurdo of Miskatonic University disappeared from his home in sleepy Arkham, clouded by rumours of a dangerous mystery cult plotting to destroy the world. A year and a day later he resurfaced, spinning dark tales of a lost tomb in the jungle and foul rituals to banish an ancient enemy.
Now a temporal rift centred over the Professor’s study threatens to engulf all of Arkham. Can your team of experts defeat the professor’s wards and seal the rift before the city is pulled into the flux vortex?
To succeed you will need to select a group of SPIES operatives with a wide range of talents and experience. Choose your team and make ready to enter the missing professor’s study!
Coming soon only to Victoria Escape Games!
“The nightmare corpse-city of R’lyeh…was built in measureless eons behind history by the vast, loathsome shapes that seeped down from the dark stars. There lay great Cthulhu and his hordes, hidden in green slimy vaults.”
— H. P. Lovecraft, “The Call of Cthulhu” (1928)
