SCAVENGER HUNT
Where is the next place? You will use hints to find the locations throughout the city. The map function in the app will help you.
QUIZ QUESTIONS
Once you’ve arrived at the place you’re looking for, you’ll be asked questions about the sight. Most of the time, the answers are hidden in signs, pictures, etc.
PHOTO TASKS
During the adventure you can also expect exciting photo tasks that require a lot of creativity. If you master the snapshots, you will be rewarded with points.
Along the way, you’ll reach amazing places like the “Gassy Jack Statue”, the "Gastown Steam Clock”, the “Waterfront Station” and many other interesting places!
After you buy the ticket, you will receive an access code that you can use in the app.
The game is not limited in time. You can explore the city at your own pace and take breaks. The whole experience lasts on average about 1-2 hours.
You won’t need a guide, just download the app, go to the starting point, and you’re ready to start with the experience.
For larger groups, one person can purchase access for the entire group by selecting the number of people in the group. All group members will be able to play the city game on their smartphone. Alternatively, each person can purchase their own voucher.
You can play as a group and solve the clues together as you walk, or you can split into smaller groups/teams and compete against the others. Each person can also play on their own, separate from the group, and meet the group at the end.
