At Escape Camp Picton in Prince Edward, The Secret Guild places your team in the role of Special Operatives training with the Royal Canadian Air Force. You have one hour to infiltrate a manufacturing guild that doubles as a French Allied Resistance front, find clues, solve puzzles and secure—then destroy—classified intelligence before a double agent exposes your position.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE THEME

A Compact Espionage Mission

The game threads a clear wartime narrative—training operatives, entering occupied France, and racing against time to secure intelligence—giving every puzzle a storyline tied to the fate of allied spies.

THE ROSTER

Private Room for Small to Mid‑Sized Teams

Sessions run as private bookings for groups up to ten players, accommodating both intimate teams and larger friend groups while keeping the experience exclusive to your party.

THE CLOCK

High‑Stakes, One‑Hour Time Limit

The operation is deliberately compact: teams have exactly one hour to locate clues, solve puzzles and remove or destroy compromising evidence before time runs out.

What the day feels like

What the experience feels like

The Secret Guild unfolds as a focused, narrative‑driven puzzle sprint. Briefing places you in training for the RCAF and into a mission mindset; the core hour is spent searching a guild‑turned‑resistance HQ for clues, translating discoveries into solutions, and completing a final sequence to secure and destroy sensitive materials before extraction.
