The Estate of John Jackson is a 60-minute escape room in Quebec City, for 3 to 6 players (ideally 3 to 5), ages 16 and up.
You receive an official letter, written in Russian, then awkwardly translated. It informs you of the violent death of a certain John Jackson… a distant cousin you’ve never heard of. The consulate insists: you’re the only living relative, and it’s up to you to identify him.
Reluctantly, you fly to a remote region of Russia. There, an austere morgue awaits you, half-abandoned, shrouded in fog and silence. The atmosphere is heavy, almost oppressive. Something is wrong in the building, in the shifty looks of the staff, in the cold that seems to seep down to the bone.
But it’s just a corpse to recognize… isn’t it?
Can you hold your ground in this unhealthy, terrifying environment? Will you be able to distinguish reality from illusion as the Morgue seems to close its claws on you? Can you get out of this hell in one piece?
There’s only one way to find out: enter the morgue.
The Estate of John Jackson: escape room in Quebec City
The Estate of John Jackson is our horror scenario: a half-abandoned morgue in remote Russia, where observation and handling objects are key to moving forward. The atmosphere is designed to scare, with flashing lights and very tight passages, and the scenario is for ages 16 and up. Its advanced level is aimed at groups of 3 to 5 players who already have a few escape rooms under their belt and are looking for thrills. For a game without scares, pick The Secret of Denderah or The Equation instead. It’s played at our Quebec City location, 626 Charest Boulevard East in the Saint-Roch neighbourhood, a few minutes from Old Quebec.
