The game begins at a corner of downtown Windsor where brick storefronts and river breezes set the stage for two hours of curiosity-driven roaming.
Teams unlock riddles on a phone app, chase points through alleys, public squares and waterfront promenades, and check in with a live remote host who nudges teams with hints and bonus challenges. The route stays largely flat along city streets and the Detroit Riverfront, so expect 2–4 km of walking spread across stops rather than long continuous hikes.
Windsor’s downtown traces back to early 19th-century settlement and trade with Detroit; the scavenger hunt threads that history into clues about heritage buildings, public art and local shopfronts. Geologically, the area sits on glacial till over limestone, producing a flat urban plain punctuated by the river’s edge and small park terraces. Cultural markers — Ojibway place names, site plaques and the city’s Border City identity — show up in clues and local challenges.
Practical guidance: download the Wacky Walks app, keep your phone charged, and allocate two hours for play (the host is remote and available the whole time). The event is stroller- and pet-friendly and well-served by public transit; footwear should be comfortable for pavement walking and occasional stairs. If weather looks poor, note the operator’s 24-hour cancellation window for a full refund. For teams seeking low-impact urban exploration, the scavenger hunt combines light exercise, local history, and a leaderboard-driven dose of competition.
