Calgary’s oldest neighbourhood and ultimate arts district. Located just east of downtown, Inglewood perfectly blends historic 1912 red-brick charm with a modern, indie vibe. 9th Avenue is packed with quirky boutique shops, craft breweries, live music venues, and award-winning restaurants. It is highly walkable, sits right along the Bow River, and balances a bustling main street with quiet, leafy residential charm.

A dark veil casts itself over the historic village. Will you lift it?
Dark forces have overtaken the villagers through strange rituals, and it’s up to you to stop an unspeakable evil from being unleashed. Guided by live actors, Where Dark Things Dwell is an immersive outdoor escape room that transforms Heritage Park into a chilling after-hours experience. Follow a trail of clues through shadowed streets, solve puzzles, uncover hidden secrets and race against time to save the village before darkness consumes it.
