5 Best Quebec City Escape Rooms and Games

On a rainy day, a Quebec City escape room is a perfect distraction. Sunny days, too. Honestly, any day is a good day for intriguing escapism. Spending an hour or two in an escape room in Quebec is perfect for families, friends, and couples.

In the mid-1980s, escape rooms appeared on game shows in the UK. Twenty years later, the first versions of modern-day escape games popped up. The first one was in Indianapolis in 2003 and in Japan in 2007. Today, there are over 50,000 escape rooms around the world.

Play with friends in one escape room or split into two groups and see which one can leave the room first. It’s time to show off your smarts in a Quebec escape room!

EliviaEscape and Cabinet Mysteriis have most games that were nominated through TERPECA, a world-renowned distinction in the field of escape rooms and escape games.
