Each year, the Top Escape Rooms Project ranks the top 100 best escape rooms in the world according to escape room superfans for their Enthusiasts' Choice Awards. This year, four Quebec rooms made the list, with two in Laval and one in Quebec City making it to the top 50.

The best 100 rooms were chosen out of almost 1,000 nominees this year, including rooms from Greece, Germany, the U.S. and more. Canada's winning escape rooms are in Quebec City and Laval, with the closest ones only a short drive from Montreal!
