About this activity

You are a soldier from the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, 1759. You think you survived. You need to find General Montcalm, deliver a letter, and save the city of Québec.

Follow the clues through the fortifications, cathedrals, and cobblestoned courtyards of one of North America's most storied cities — a UNESCO World Heritage Site where 400 years of history live in every stone. But something about the city feels wrong. The streets are too quiet. The people don't seem to see you. And the letter in your pocket grows older with every step.

This self-guided exploration game has 11 stops across Old Town Québec, taking about 1 hour 30 minutes over 1.6 km of easy walking. No guide, no group, no fixed schedule — start anytime and play at your own pace using the Questo app. Includes audio narration at every stop.

Perfect for history lovers, couples, and anyone who wants to experience Québec's story from the inside.
