"The Escape Backpack", available until October 31st, 2024
In collaboration with Îlot des Palais and made possible through the cultural development agreement of the City of Québec, "The Escape Backpack" is an immersive and interactive experience that allows participants to learn more about the history of Îlot des Palais and many other local points of interest related to the era of New France.
Participants pick up their backpacks at Îlot des Palais, filled with enigmatic materials that will guide them on a self-guided tour of Old Québec. Similar to an escape room game, several pockets of the backpack are locked with padlocks, which can be opened by solving puzzles related to different historical sites. The cost is $50 for a group of 6 people.
