A spring breeze pushes up from the Ottawa River as you tap the Questo app and step off toward the Norwegian Ambassador’s Residence — the first pin on a string of diplomatic mansions and hidden gardens. The game stitches together short walking legs around Ambassador’s Row, asking players to solve clues that unlock scenes from Jackson’s lost memories while routing them past The Rockeries, Rockcliffe House and quieter, lesser-seen stretches of Rockcliffe Park.
