Escape from Dalnavert

  • Dalnavert Museum and Visitors' Centre 61 Carlton Street Winnipeg, MB, R3C 1N7 Canada (map)

Our sold-out “escape room” experience is back! Unlock the dark secrets behind the museum's storied past in our enigmatic "Escape from Dalnavert," returning this year due to popular demand.

Something strange has been happening at Dalnavert Museum. The Curator has started to find sinister objects hidden within the collection just as a strange visitor appears. Follow a sinuous trail that links the museum to the legendary Count Dracula, uncovering clues buried within ancient relics. Modern-day occultists believe that in 1897, Dracula created a safeguard against his destruction: a centuries old ritual that would ensure his resurrection.

Join this captivating, immersive theatre of shadows and mystery, where you and your team will traverse through the labyrinthine house to discover these sacred relics—your arsenal against Dracula’s impending return. Succeed, and you'll become the last vanguard that seals him in his unholy tomb, thus safeguarding Winnipeg and the world from an unimaginable fate!

Note: A Familiar Tale for Returning Guests
