On August 2nd, 2025, the Thingelstad family entered their 79th escape room. The lights dimmed, the music swelled, and the magic began.
This POAP commemorates our unforgettable journey through Magnifico’s Circus at Escaparium in Laval, Québec—ranked the #1 escape room in the world by the 2024 TERPECA Awards. More than a room, it was a theatrical masterpiece that blended immersive storytelling, interactive performance, dazzling sets, and inventive puzzles into one mesmerizing experience.
Jamie: “Unlike any escape room I’ve ever imagined. The depth of the story drew us in. I didn’t want it to end. Wow!”
Tammy: “Not just an escape room—an interactive play with a remarkable story, set, and cast.”
Mazie: “A real-life choose-your-own-adventure. We rode rides, witnessed magic, and even died!”
Tyler: “So many different puzzles and people. Always something exciting happening. Never boring.”
This POAP marks our crossing into a world where time bends, fiction breathes, and room #79 became a story we’ll never forget. 🎟️
