📖 THE STORY
Embark on an enchanting and immersive escape room experience that delves into the tales and legends of Quebec. Step into a realm that exists between life and death, where a pact with the enigmatic YÂBE awaits. Sign the contract, journey through the captivating memories of the YÂBE, and discover the elusive exit that holds the key to your return to the land of the living. As you navigate this otherworldly realm, you will unravel the rich folklore and cultural heritage of Quebec, immersing yourself in its captivating narratives and mythical creatures.
For main English speakers, YÂBE is more of a concept than an actual being. As was described to us before the start of the game, “Go to the YÂBE” is closely related to “Go to Hell '' hence why this game is focused on the more folklore of the Quebec region.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The incorporation of Quebec folklore in this escape room is a truly distinctive and refreshing concept within the industry. While not all English speakers may be familiar with the specific term "YÂBE," the game cleverly introduces well-known elements such as the Loup-Garou (Werewolves) and the rich folklore surrounding lumberjacks. This allows players to engage with and appreciate the captivating tales and legends that shape Quebec's cultural heritage.
The set decor in A Double Tour is impressive, with each room designed as a unique "vignette" that represents a different Quebec legend. The attention to detail is evident, and the scenic design effectively captures the essence of each story. The visuals help to immerse players in the world of the legends, adding to the overall experience of the game. The carefully crafted set decor contributes to the authenticity of the themes and creates a memorable atmosphere for players to enjoy.
A Double Tour successfully enhances the immersion by incorporating a unique element at the beginning of the game. The inclusion of a literal contract that players must sign to enter the room adds a sense of anticipation and engagement right from the start. It creates a feeling of being fully involved in the experience and sets the tone for the rest of the game.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Game design and concept of this room was quite engaging, there were some areas that could have been improved in terms of puzzle clues and player experience. In certain instances, puzzles that spanned multiple levels lacked clear and intuitive guidance, making it challenging for the team to progress smoothly. Additionally, there was a segment in the game that required players to crouch down for extended periods, which coupled with inadequate lighting, made it difficult to locate the necessary items or clues.
