Experience a spooky, fun adventure…

It is finally time! Surely, after years of studying, you must be ready to explore a haunted house. Assemble your team of amateur ghost hunters and load your gear into the van. You are ready for your first job, aren’t you? There is nothing to be afraid of here. Brimley Manor is the perfect starter house. The home owner, Anne Brimley, says the manor has been haunted for many generations. The ghosts are like family. But lately, the ghosts are acting strange. Which is why your team is perfect for this job - your studies have taught you all about restless spirits. Perhaps you can even find your way into the spirit realm. Of course, the ghosts will decide if you are trustworthy enough to enter the spirit realm. Remember, your job is not to get rid of these ghosts. Use your ghost hunting skills to interact with and help the ghosts at Brimley Manor.

What secrets will you uncover inside the manor?

I went with my daughter and friends a few month ago to do the Dream Portal and it was great. The ambiance and the riddles are really nice and good to do with 10 years-old.

Thank you for an amazing mother-daughter time!!

We did the Dream Portal experience at Daydream Adventures for my friend’s birthday, and the four of us had such a great time!

We were running a little late, but the staff were very kind and accommodating and still made sure we received our full hour. Whenever we got stuck, they were helpful and guided us without taking away from the experience.

The room itself was beautiful, calming, and so immersive. The magical forest theme really made it feel like we had stepped into another world. Everything was creative, interactive, and thoughtfully designed.

Such a fun and unique birthday experience. I would definitely recommend Dream Portal and would love to come back and try their other rooms!

We did the Dream Portal. It was beautiful! The puzzles were nice and challenging for me and my friends (we've done escape rooms before). The fans inside the room were really loud, which made the audio hard to hear, but we understand that with smaller rooms air circulation is needed. We were told that hints were accessible and that we can push a button whenever we needed. Me and my friends prefer to not use hints, we love the "ah ha!" moments. However, the staff kept telling us hints which kinda ruined the experience. All the escape room places we've been to have never given us hints unless we specifically asked for them. I think with beginners and groups with kids, the hints from staff would help them complete the escape room and would be good for their experience. But for those who have done escape rooms before, I think the staff should not give hints unless asked for.

Just an unreal Escape Room that will stand out, even if you're a seasoned campaigner.

Our family had so much fun. The room designs are probably the best we've seen, as they are all hand crafted.

Fantastic customer service with everything being tailored to our family enjoying the experience as much as possible.

We are looking forwards to trying the other three rooms!!

Clever, well-designed game! We did the Dream portal room with a group of 4 adults and found it challenging but not impossible.

Of the two rooms, we did the Ice Cave one in Toronto. This was Dream Adventures' first location. They have since open a second one in Scarborough. On its own, the escape was creative and the gameplay was above average. But when compared to other escape rooms out there, this experience feels dated and lacking in polish. The place also seems understaffed. We requested hints on multiple occasions mid game and received zero response from the staff. I had to exit the room and look for the staff. That was unacceptable and ruins the experience.

One of the best interactive escape rooms ever it was actually crazy
I’ve been to many escape rooms but in this one everything is well made, everything was interactive and it felt magical, from the mechanics to the voice acting and the props

As the owner of an escape room business, I know what goes in to building a great adventure. Daydream Adventures have hit the mark in the bullseye with the 2 rooms we played. Don't hesitate to book a spot for the Dream Portal and Ice Cave. Impossible to be dissapointed. They have created something very special.

This was an absolutely phenomenal experience! We did both the Ice Cave and Dream Portal and both were incredible! They both feel like they transport you into a different dimension and draw you deep into the story! Highly recommend!

I love daydream adventures. This is the best escape room I have ever done. Not only are they so unique, but they also double as an art installation. The set is jaw dropping. It is so beautiful and immersive. I'm from the UK, and we don't have anything like this here. I will be coming back on my next family visit to Toronto. I can't wait to see their new creations. It is a must try experience in Toronto.

I have done over 20 escape rooms in Canada and in the UK, and daydream adventures is the absolute best. I highly recommend Brimely Manor and Botanica Greenhouse. I traveled from another country to play in those rooms. Daydream is by far the best escape room I have ever done, and I will be back to try all of their new rooms. This is not just an escape room. Daydream Adventures is a destination in Toronto. I highly recommend anyone visiting Toronto, do to their rooms.

Unique puzzles, interesting story, lots of fun. We received some extra time, but managed to defeat the monster and escape from the ice cave, with several helpful hints.

BOOK YOUR ADVENTURE

frequently asked questions​

What makes Brimley Manor different from other escape rooms?

Brimley Manor is a playful twist on the classic haunted house escape rooms. It is set in a hauntingly beautiful home and players will interact with various ghosts while solving hands-on puzzles. Your goal is not simply to escape. Your team will enter the spirit realm and uncover the mysterious story behind this spooky, fun adventure. 

Daydream always designs escape games suitable for all ages. There are never actors or graphic content. We want players to prepare for a highly immersive experience that uses sound and lighting effects as well as various high tech elements that can feel surprising at times. Brimley Manor is a unique experience that may frighten some young players due to the story theme. The spooky effects and the concept of ghosts can be unsettling but the ghosts are friendly and there are no jump scares.

Why is this game recommended for 3 or more players?

This escape room is very large, with multiple puzzle paths and has an emphasis on teamwork.

The more players you have the easier it will be to explore everything in 75 minutes. It is achievable as a group of 2 but may be challenging. Your team has unlimited hints to help! Daydream has a minimum booking price, so you will need to select 3 players even if you plan to play as a team of 2 people.

The escape room is recommended for up to 9 people but the limit has some flexibility. We can always add 1-2 extra players. You can book for the maximum capacity and we will do a final player count when you arrive. If your team is very large, you may want to consider booking both rooms around the same time.

Use the booking calendar to select the date and time most convenient for you. It is possible to walk-in but we cannot guarantee a game is available. You will need to provide your credit card information to secure the timeslot. You can pay in store or online. If your plans change, we have a flexible rescheduling policy that turns your payment into store credit for a future booking. 

Brimley Manor is available at 489 Brimley Road in Scarborough. We offer free private parking and there’s TTC bus stops nearby for easy access. 

Brimley Manor is a medium-difficulty room, perfect for first-time players and seasoned escapers. It focuses on creativity, teamwork, and storytelling—not just traditional locks or codes.

No problem! Brimley Manor is beginner-friendly and guided by supportive game masters. Whether you’re a first-timer or an escape room fan, we’ve designed this room to be fun, accessible, and unforgettable.

Absolutely! Brimley Manor is great for birthday parties, team-building events, and special celebrations. Private bookings make it easy to personalize your visit.

The TTC 21 Brimley, 12 Kingston Road, and 86 Scarborough buses all stop at Brimley & Danforth, just steps from our door. This location is also a short ride from Kennedy Station on the Bloor–Danforth subway line.
