Morning light skates across the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers as teams fan out, phones in hand and curiosity switched to high. The scavenger hunt begins at The Forks—an active public meeting place where river stones, market stalls and murals mark layers of the city’s life. Players trade measured strides for sudden sprints when a riddle points toward a bronze statue or a hidden plaque.
Winnipeg’s story is visible in the route: Indigenous peoples have used the Forks for millennia, French-Canadian and Métis communities shaped St. Boniface, and the Manitoba Legislative Building watches the river with its Golden Boy atop the dome. The landscape is a post-glacial plain where rivers carved broad, flat valleys, feeding parks and riverwalks that frame the downtown.
Expect paved streets, pedestrian promenades and short detours through pocket parks and historic blocks. Typical hunt distance is 2–4 km with negligible elevation gain—city walking more than trail scrambling. The Let’s Roam app delivers maps, photo challenges and trivia while assigning roles like Brainiac or Photographer so every player contributes.
Practical edge: start mid-morning to avoid rush-hour crowds and give yourself two hours to explore without rushing. Wear grippy shoes for slick riverwalk stones after rain, carry a power bank because the experience is phone-driven, and download the app before you go. Transit stops cluster nearby and many checkpoints are wheelchair and stroller accessible, but expect some cobblestone and curb cuts. This hunt is equal parts history, architecture and friendly competition—an efficient, engaging way to feel Winnipeg underfoot and in the city’s stories.

The Forks has been a human meeting place for thousands of years and later became a trading and cultural hub shaped by Indigenous, Métis and European communities; the Manitoba Legislative Building (completed 1920) anchors downtown with its Golden Boy statue.
The Forks area balances heavy public use with riverbank restoration projects; visitors should stick to paths, carry out waste and respect interpretive signs that protect archeological areas.
