Pointe-à-Callière Museum plays hosts to many events during the summer, like the ever-popular 18th-century market held in the Old Port. But this October they are rolling out something new, possibly even better, and definitely a whole lot spookier.
For the first time ever, the museum will be hosting a Halloween event unlike any Montreal has seen and it will take place on one night only, October 31.
Teaming up with escape room pros, Échappe-toi Montréal, the museum is organizing an giant escape game taking place among Montreal's archaeological remains. The game will bring participants to the ruins of Ville-Marie’s first Catholic cemetery, through a stone vaulted tunnel, the mysterious and majestic collector sewer, and over a glass floor overlooking the remains of Fort Ville-Marie.
The evening will begin in the hall of the museum where guests can meet and relax with a drink and listen to some music before the real action starts.
Guests have one hour to solve the different mysteries surrounding the legacy of Montreal’s cursed governor.
Of course, to add to the overall eerie ambiance, this will all take place at night. It's basically a real-life escape game, and it sounds freakin' awesome.
The partnership between Pointe-à-Callière Museum Échappe-toi Montréal is a first. And honestly, what an ideal team for a night of adventure. Échappe-toi Montréal prides itself on creating escape games that are totally immersive and based on the history of Montreal. So combining forces with the archaeological museum should bring a whole new level to the experience.
