Ottawa’s New Goosebump-Raising Escape Room & Movie Night Is Straight From Your Nightmares

Do you dare enter a village surrounded by monsters? 😱

Staff Writer

Are you brave enough to try this new immersive experience that will make you feel like you've stepped into a Hollywood thriller? Escape Manor's new outdoor escape room in Ottawa combines puzzles and a movie night under the stars.

The unforgettable activity runs from August 27 until Halloween at a mystery location, 25 minutes from downtown Ottawa.

When you arrive, you'll enter a village with a dark secret and work together with your friends to solve escape-style puzzles.

Then you'll get to watch M. Night Shyamalan's The Village on the big screen while eating popcorn and drinking boozy beverages.

But get ready to be frightened, as there will be actors lurking in the shadows to make you feel like you are inside the film.

Tickets for the event are from $49 a person, and 48 hours before your showing, you'll get the location details and instructions.
