Then the recording suddenly ends.This is where The Mimico Patient begins.The Mimico Patient is a nighttime urban mystery game by R.A.D.E. Games. Created for teams who enjoy investigation, suspense and unusual experiences, the game transforms the streets of Mimico and Toronto’s Lakeshore into part of an unfolding case.What Is The Mimico Patient?The Mimico Patient is not a traditional escape room. There is no single room, fixed stage or actor standing beside you with instructions.Your team enters a story that exists across real locations. You travel through the city, examine evidence, follow clues and make decisions together. Every new discovery reveals another fragment of the case—but it may also create more questions.At the centre of the mystery is Patient 11B-X-1371.Who was the patient? Why was the recording hidden? And what happened after the camera stopped?A Mystery Played Across the CityThe game takes place at night and is designed as a car-based urban adventure. Your vehicle becomes your team’s mobile investigation room as you move between locations in the Mimico and Lakeshore area.Real streets, buildings and surroundings become part of the atmosphere. Familiar places feel different after dark, especially when every detail might be connected to the case.The experience combines elements of:• urban exploration • mystery investigation • analog horror • puzzles and hidden clues • found-footage storytelling • team-based decision-makingPlayers do not need special knowledge or previous experience. Curiosity, observation and cooperation are far more important.How the Game WorksTeams receive the opening materials and begin investigating the case.

Everyone can contribute: one player may notice a visual clue, another may solve a code, while someone else connects the evidence to an earlier discovery.More Than a PuzzleThe Mimico Patient was created to feel like a recovered investigation rather than a sequence of unrelated riddles.File 11B-X-1371 establishes the tone: incomplete information, damaged footage and a figure whose identity remains unknown.

It is to understand what happened—and decide whether the case has truly ended.Who Is This Game For?The Mimico Patient is a strong choice for:• friends looking for an unusual night out • couples who enjoy mysteries and puzzles • small groups and team-building activities • fans of analog horror, ARGs and found footage • Toronto residents who want to experience familiar streets differently • visitors searching for an experience beyond standard tourist attractionsThe game focuses on atmosphere, investigation and suspense rather than graphic horror.Enter the CaseToronto has countless stories hidden behind ordinary streets and buildings.
