Race through Vancouver’s historic streets with an app-led scavenger hunt: three quests, nine checkpoints, and a final puzzle at your Home Base. Expect urban walking, heritage sites, and a remote guide on call.
You check your phone at a street corner as fog from the inlet curls through a lane — the app pings and your Home Base springs to life. Pavement, brick, and seawall form the course: three short quests, each with three checkpoints, questions to answer and small challenges to complete. The city pushes back and rewards you, every block handing over a new clue.

You check your phone at a street corner as fog from the inlet curls through a lane — the app pings and your Home Base springs to life.

Vancouver’s shoreline and downtown grew where glacial ice once scoured the Burrard Inlet, leaving sheltered bays and the low, firm ground that made early logging and later urban development possible. The area around Gastown and the waterfront layers Indigenous history, 19th-century trade, and the city’s modern multicultural pulse; expect heritage buildings, public art, and street vendors that reflect that mix.
Practically, the game covers a few kilometres of urban walking over mostly flat terrain with some cobbles, stairs and occasional slopes. It’s timed and scored, with a remote guide available by text or call if you get stuck. Teams benefit from dividing tasks—map-reading, puzzle-solving, and people-watching—so you can move efficiently between checkpoints.
Bring a charged smartphone, plan for variable weather (Vancouver changes quickly), and allow two hours plus time to celebrate at a café afterward. This is a low-impact way to see the city on foot, learn local stories, and compete for the best score without needing advanced fitness or gear.

Downtown Vancouver grew after Burrard Inlet’s post-glacial shores enabled 19th-century mills and the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway, shaping the city’s trade and urban form.
Stay on sidewalks and public paths, respect private property and heritage sites, and dispose of waste—urban stewardship keeps public spaces welcoming.
