What we do
Create unique puzzles and game-play elements for each of our games that are never recycled, and have never been seen before.
Write engaging story-lines that transcend each game, and expand into a universe filled with intrigue and mystery.
You’ll never find any generic cipher, padlocks, or lock boxes here.
Our neon bible
No compromise approach to storytelling, game mechanics, and cinematics for the ultimate player driven experience.
Obsessive detailing of the narrative and the games to ensure they make sense within the scenario we’ve created.
Ensure we reward exploration and the replay-ability of our games.
THE DE LOUNGE
We’ve created Toronto’s first vaporwave themed board game lounge! With an upscale food and beverage selection, and an arcade corner that includes both classics, and modern games.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
+ I have a booking but have to cancel, what are my options?
If you cancel 48 hours before your booking time, there is no cancellation fee, simply cancel your booking online.
If however you need to cancel less than 48 hours before your game time, we will do our best to rebook the time slot with another group.
If we're unable to rebook the slot, you'll be charged a $100 cancellation/no-show fee.
This fee is applied as a credit to your account that you can use on a future booking.
+ Can we walk-in and book a game?
Yes, however, the best way to guarantee you get to book a game is to complete your booking online. We do also take bookings over the phone if you prefer to call ahead. (a credit card is always required to book a game, as there must be a card on file to cover incidental damages)
+ Do you offer specials or discounts for birthdays?
Yes! We offer a free escape room admission if your birthday is within 7 days of the booking date. Proof of photo ID is required! (a minimum of 3 players is required to qualify for a free ticket, otherwise you will recieve 50% off of one of the tickets in a 2 player game.)
+ What is the cost for a table in the lounge?
We do not charge any entrance or admission fee for the lounge however, there is a $15 minimnum spend per person in your group. Access to our board games and the arcades are included in that minimum spend. If you have an escape game booked, you'll also get a table in the lounge without any minimum spend requirement.
+ What makes your games different than a normal escape room?
We build our games around immersive story telling, meaning none of our challenges are arbitrary. Each "puzzle" fits thematically within the context of the narrative.
+ If we book an escape room, can my friends and I hang out in the lounge afterwords?
Yes, you get a free lounge admission with the cost of any escape room ticket, however we cannot guarantee a table will be available at the time of your booking. In the event that we're unable to get you a table, or if you have other plans, you're welcome to redeem your free lounge cover at a future date.
In order to redeem at a future date please follow us @dreamescapeca on instagram and send us a message with your booking details.
+ Is there an age limit for players?
The minimum age of entry for our games is 11, and any player under the age of 18 requires an adult to sign their waver form.
+ Are there any health concerns when playing your games?
There are flashing lights and vibrating platforms as well as small jump scares. Please refer to our waiver for more details.
+ Can I book ahead of time for a table in the lounge?
We don't currently have any booking options available for the lounge. We may look to incorporate a booking system in the near future.
+ How long can my group and I hang out in the lounge?
While we don't like enforcing a table time limit, we do have a 2.5 hour limit in place in the event that our lounge is at maximum capacity and we need to accommodate new guests. If there aren't any customers on the waiting list, we will not enforce any table time limits.
