Escape Rooms are an experience everyone should try: a life-sized adventure game!
You and your friends are placed in a room for 60 minutes during a high-stakes scenario. You must solve a series of fun, yet challenging puzzles to complete your mission before time runs out! Failure means imprisonment, impending danger, or an altogether very bad ending.
Hints and clues are provided to help you and your team solve the puzzles and make your escape. You will have to use your wits, creativity, and team-work to regain your freedom.
Conveniently located right in the ByWard Market at 12 ByWard Market Square, Jigsaw Escape Rooms is an exciting addition to almost any outing.
See if you can figure out how to escape in time! Book now.
A one-player deposit is required to book your escape room.
If canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours notice, the minimum number of players required to play (ranging from 2-6 players) will be charged to the credit card on file.
Your one player deposit will contribute to the minimum player requirement.
The smallest group able to book is 2 people for most rooms, however some rooms have a higher minimum number of players required.
You can still play rooms with less than the minimum number of people, however you would have to purchase the minimum number of tickets and the room will be more difficult.
Yes, absolutely! The smallest group able to book is two people for most rooms. You’re more than welcome to come with any number of players above the minimum.
All bookings are automatically made private for you and your team. The only people in your escape room will be those you came with.
Yes, you may cancel and receive a refund up to 24 hours before your booking, or with seven (7) days notice for large bookings. You can cancel your booking using the button labelled “View / Change Booking” in your confirmation email. You can also send us a message to cancel your booking.
Same day bookings are final. If you cancel or reschedule a same day booking, you'll only receive a full refund if another team books your time slot. Otherwise, you'll be charged for the minimum number of players required for the room, and we'll refund the remainder of your payment.
(A "same day booking" is an escape room reservation that is made on the same date as the escape. For example, if you create a booking today and the escape room you choose is also scheduled for today, that would be a same day booking.)
If you don’t show up for your booking, without letting us know at least 24 hours in advance (per the cancellation instructions on this page), then your time slot can no longer be booked by another team, and as a result your card will be charged a fee in the amount of the minimum number of players required to book the room (two players for most rooms, or four players for other rooms), minus the amount of your deposit.
It would be best to let us know ahead of time, though, using the instructions on this page (found under “Can we cancel our reservation?”).
There is nearby city street parking and paid parking garages/spaces located on Clarence Street, and also on Parent Avenue. There is also paid street parking on most streets in The ByWard Market; all of which are a short walk to Jigsaw.
The street parking is pay parking during the day, but becomes free after a specific hour (please check the parking signs to confirm whether you need to pay).
There is some free parking around the residential area on/off Parent Avenue. It's about a 5-minute walk to Jigsaw from there. If you park around there, then it's possible to find free parking for an hour or two. (Please read the parking signs to confirm whether you need to pay, and how long you can park there.)
