You tap the app, step off the harbour boardwalk and the wind off Lake Superior immediately rearranges your plans — in a good way. Streets of brick and broad sidewalks open into murals, sandstone outcrops and the distant profile of the Sleeping Giant. The game begins where the city feels most alive: the waterfront, the river mouth and the neighborhoods that once competed as Port Arthur and Fort William.

You tap the app, step off the harbour boardwalk and the wind off Lake Superior immediately rearranges your plans — in a good way. Streets of brick and broad sidewalks open into murals, sandstone outcrops and the distant profile of the Sleeping Giant. The game begins where the city feels most alive: the waterfront, the river mouth and the neighborhoods that once competed as Port Arthur and Fort William.
Thunder Bay’s story is visible in layers: the Canadian Shield underfoot, the shipping history of the waterfront and Anishinaabe presence that predates the railway and the fur trade. As you move between checkpoints the city’s geology nudges the route — Precambrian bedrock, river cutbanks, and wide lake vistas — and cultural markers like the Terry Fox Memorial and local markets offer good clue fodder.
Practically, this is a two-hour, app-driven scavenger hunt with a remote host available by chat. Teams work in any order, scoring points for objects found and challenges completed; rankings update live in the app. It’s family-friendly and stroller-accessible, and the operator lists the experience as suitable for all fitness levels. Bring a fully charged smartphone with data or reliable Wi‑Fi, wear comfortable walking shoes, and plan for changing weather: lake-effect gusts can arrive fast. The booking is instant and refundable with 24‑hour notice; GST applies. Expect 90–120 minutes of steady walking, local conversation prompts and plenty of spots where a short detour leads to a view or a coffee stop. This is less a race and more a guided invitation to see Thunder Bay at human pace.
easy.
2 hours.
Suitable for most fitness levels; you should be comfortable walking up to 2 hours with short stops.
The experience is app-driven and self-paced; a remote host is available by chat for help and scoring, but there is no in-person guide.
Bookings are sold per team (one ticket per booking); check the operator’s booking page for any group-size guidance or to book multiple teams.
The operator notes stroller accessibility and suitability for all physical levels, but some short sections may be uneven—plan a slightly slower pace if needed.
The game continues in light rain; wear rain gear. Refunds follow the standard cancellation policy (full refund if cancelled at least 24 hours prior).
Thunder Bay formed from the 1970s amalgamation of Port Arthur and Fort William and sits on traditional Anishinaabe territory; the waterfront reflects the city’s shipping and railway past.
Respect shoreline habitats and cultural sites; stick to public paths, pack out trash and be mindful of interpretive signs and sacred places.
