Quebec City (Spring)

By Marilou Harvey••173 views

Quebec City is the capital of the province of the same name and one of the oldest cities in North America, founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain. Thanks to its centuries of history, its remarkable architecture and its exceptional natural setting, it remains an emblematic place in Canadian heritage. Its surroundings are full of natural spots where the hiking is exceptional.

Québec

In the heart of Quebec City's Saint-Sacrement neighbourhood, Cabinet Mysteriis has established itself as a benchmark in escape games. Under the guise of an escape game, Cabinet Mysteriis sets out to deliver a playful, immersive experience out of the ordinary, one that makes you feel out of this world. Cabinet Mysteriis stands out through its original worlds, its sets and its scenarios, and offers an immersive escape game with live actors. In groups of 2 to 6, the brave are locked inside a painting where they'll have to communicate and draw on each person's strengths to solve the puzzles and challenges standing between them and victory. Every room is tied together by a shared story, which gives a narrative coherence you won't find anywhere else. 

Among the adventures on offer, Magnum Opus stands out as the Cabinet's most intense experience. Formerly "Le reflet de la folie" from Codex (a company that closed in Laval in August 2020 and was acquired by Cabinet Mysteriis), Magnum Opus was reworked to fit better into the Quebec City company's universe. The sculptor Patrick Anktil, who specializes in Dark art, took part in the redesign of the set with a clear mission: to frighten players in a diabolical setting. Billed as a frightening scenario, the game is recommended for ages 16 and up. The story? Léon Wallace, the Cabinet's art restorer, is working on an "Ultimate painting" that seems to be coming to life in unsettling ways… It's up to you to find out what lies behind the canvas! An adventure that blends horror, puzzles and adrenaline — perfect for thrill seekers and for groups who really want to give themselves the shivers.

Frequently asked questions

What sets Cabinet Mysteriis apart from other escape games?
Its original worlds, its carefully built sets and its scenarios, but above all the presence of live actors, who make the experience genuinely immersive. Another distinctive feature: every room is tied together by a shared story, which gives a narrative coherence you won't find elsewhere. The house's mission is to deliver an experience that makes you feel out of this world.
How many players do you need?
Groups run from 2 to 6 people. The game relies on communication and complementary skills: each person has to draw on the others' strengths to solve the puzzles and challenges. That's what makes it a good group activity, as much with friends as with a family that includes teenagers.
Is Magnum Opus really scary?
Yes, it's the Cabinet's most intense experience, billed as a frightening scenario and recommended for ages 16 and up. The sculptor Patrick Anktil, who specializes in Dark art, took part in the redesign of the set with a clear mission: to frighten players in a diabolical setting.
What is the story of Magnum Opus?
Léon Wallace, the Cabinet's art restorer, is working on an Ultimate painting that seems to be coming to life in unsettling ways. It's up to you to find out what lies behind the canvas. It's an adventure that blends horror, puzzles and adrenaline.
Where does the Magnum Opus room come from?
It was previously called Le reflet de la folie and belonged to the company Codex, which closed in Laval in August 2020 and was then acquired by Cabinet Mysteriis. The room was completely reworked to fit better into the Quebec City company's narrative universe.
How long does a game last?
Count on about an hour of play, plus the welcome and the debriefing. It's a perfect activity for a rainy afternoon or an evening, and the Cabinet is on chemin Sainte-Foy, in the Saint-Sacrement neighbourhood, easy to reach from downtown.
Do you need to book in advance?
Yes, strongly recommended. Escape games work in time slots reserved for a single group at a time, and the weekend slots go quickly. Book even earlier if you're aiming for Magnum Opus, which is the most requested room.
