Room Escape Artist

Latest update: 17 April 2025

Quebéc City is a puzzle-y escape room market. Overall the games were more challenging than we were expecting. They packed a lot of gameplay.

The styles were also quite quirky. Many of the companies have created thematic mashups that shouldn’t be cohesive, but definitely are. Most of the escape rooms we recommend below are one-of-a-kind… and there really isn’t anything remotely similarly.

Montreal is 3 hours from Québec City, so it’s not exactly close, but it’s worth a visit.
