Thanks so much for stopping by!

It really means a lot to us.

Founded in 2016, Mobile Escape is Canada’s premier mobile escape room company. Since our humble beginnings experimenting in kitchens, backyards and living rooms, Mobile Escape has:

  1. The Beginning

It started with schools

Our roots have always been in education.

Both Paul and Eric envision a learning environment that supports multiple learning styles, where students are engaged, active, and working together.

For more information about our different programs, or how our escape rooms support critical thinking, problem solving, and all kinds of learning outcomes, click here.

2. CustomIZE!

We love creating things

It wasn’t long before people started to notice, and the requests came in from all kinds of industries: “We want one.”

Using the escape room genre as a reference point, we’ve created all kinds of games for many different organizations.

3. Time to pivot

COVID changed everything

Overnight, we witnessed the entirety of our school-based business evaporate. It was time to either give up on the dream or figure something out.

One week later we had a prototype of Season 1 Episode 1 of Escape Mail and a month later, it was flying off the shelf.

Paul HARVEY

Paul Co-founded Mobile Escape with the vision of creating a sustainable business that was intrinsically beneficial to the communities it served. Paul did not thrive in a traditional classroom - he was the kid that had a hard time sitting down and being quiet long enough to read two sentences without staring off into space or talking with his neighbour. That was why Paul helped start Mobile Escape with a focus on schools; he has a desire to see students like himself thrive in a unique learning environment and discover, not how smart they are, but how they are smart. Paul graduated from Ambrose University in Calgary, Alberta with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a minor in International Development. Paul applies his creative nature to the business by helping create each one of Mobile Escape’s original puzzles, as well as financial know-how and passion for sustainable development.

#awakenwonder

We believe that inside of everyone is a genius. A burgeoning artist. A brilliant scientist.

A person with a divine wonder that no one else in the world could ever have.

This wonder has always loved to create, think, and solve problems. As children, we are wonderfully capable of seeing the world with a fresh perspective and suggesting strikingly simple solutions. Children are also great at having fun.

But as we age, many of us find ourselves dulled by monotony and inhibited by patterns of lifeless routine. We are confined by our perceptions and adopt biases that taint our ability to think at our highest capacity. And worse, our fears divide us, creating barriers that inhibit our ability to work together.

Mobile Escape exists to wake dulled senses: to see, hear, and feel again. We bring people together to think differently about the world around them and to simply have fun.

#awakenwonder.
