ABOUT THE GAME

NO RESERVATION REQUIRED

The game is completely free and no reservation is required.
Simply arrive at the first stop, A/Maze Atwater during the opening hours, where a Game Master will explain the rules.

Keep in mind, this is an outdoor game. It is happening outside within a 1 km radius from the start point, so dress warmly. You should plan 40-50 minutes to finish the game.

FAMILY GAME

The game is designed for younger players and their families. Experienced escape game players will still have fun, but the game might be too easy (maybe).

New Version

This is the second edition of the game Winter Store Fronts and it has all completely new puzzles. The route is similar to last year, but the game has different start and ending points.
To solve the puzzles you will need a journal which will be given to you at the starting point. You can find the digital version of the journal right here.
