Escape Quest, a local business specializing in escape room adventures, has launched a new room that connects the Island of Newfoundland to the lost city of Atlantis.
“This is our most immersive room yet and, as always, we are pleased to put a local spin on the legend of the lost city,” Escape Quest co-owner Kevin Noseworthy said in a news release Friday. “We’ve combed through the legends and the theories about Atlantis, and imagined what such a civilization might build here in Newfoundland, and what secrets they would hide. We really wanted players to genuinely relate to the story and experience. It quickly became one of the most engaging storylines that we had worked on.”
Creators say the room is their highest technical achievement to date.
"We all love pushing the creative envelope and we all agreed from the beginning, the only way to do Atlantis right was to create our most high-tech adventure yet,” said co-owner Mark Denine.
“From the puzzles to the esthetics, we definitely have raised the bar from anything else that we have done before.”
The Lost Colony of Atlantis opened Sept. 28.
