Session Overview

Teaching puzzle design is hard, when anything can be a puzzle, the challenge becomes determining the best way to constrain your options. Geared towards the novice escape room puzzle designer, Errol humorously shares years of wisdom from designing puzzles. This session is as serious as it is silly, which is quintessential Errol.

A limited number of discounted hotel rooms are available at the RECON 26 hotel and venue, the Sheraton Laval Hotel.

Our block of rooms on-site at The Sheraton Laval Hotel is SOLD OUT.

Luckily, we have secured a second, smaller block of rooms at Le St-Martin Hôtel & Suites. This is a 5-minute drive away from the RECON venue. If you missed out on the original room block, Le St-Martin Hôtel & Suites is our choice among the many hotels in the area. They are providing a special RECON rate of $209 CAD per night (plus taxes) that includes breakfast, wifi, and parking.
