Room Escape Artist

You probably know there’s something big coming to Montreal (specifically, Laval) this August…

Well, before that event takes place, we’ll have some members of the RECON team in town in May. So, we’re hosting a meetup!

If you’re in Montreal, we’d love to see you TWICE in the next few months. You can come to this meetup and then come to RECON. Win-win!

This meetup is a casual gathering for escape room players, owners, and creators to mingle and chat. It’s happening on Sunday, May 10th. Mark your calendar!
