A chill morning breeze off the Rideau Canal pushes past your sleeves as your team unlocks the first task on the app: find a “survival” item near ByWard Market. The city’s stone facades and wide boulevards become a playing field, pedestrians and pigeons part of the scene as you piece together clues and sprint between landmarks.

A chill morning breeze off the Rideau Canal pushes past your sleeves as your team unlocks the first task on the app: find a “survival” item near ByWard Market. The city’s stone facades and wide boulevards become a playing field, pedestrians and pigeons part of the scene as you piece together clues and sprint between landmarks.
Ottawa’s grid of 19th-century streets, shaped by the construction of the Rideau Canal in 1832, gives the game a compact, readable layout. Players weave past Parliament, through market alleys, and along waterfront promenades while encountering layers of civic history—from lumber-boom warehouses to modern museums—and the bilingual rhythms of English and French around storefronts.
Zombie Scavengers is an app-driven, self-guided one-hour activity: download the app, follow the item list, complete themed challenges for points, and consult a remote host via chat if you get stuck. The format suits families, groups of friends, and corporate teams looking for light competition and an active way to see downtown Ottawa without a fixed route.
Practical guidance: use public transit to a central start, charge your phone fully, and pick a start time that avoids peak tourist crowds if you want faster checkpoints. The game is stroller-accessible and allows service animals, but respects private property and traffic laws—plan routes on sidewalks and crosswalks. A small GST fee applies; cancel at least 24 hours ahead for a full refund. Expect easy walking, sharp urban sightlines, and a playful way to learn the city’s streets while racing to survive the apocalypse in a leaderboard-driven sprint.
easy.
1 hour.
Suitable for most fitness levels; involves light urban walking over flat to gently sloped pavement
There’s no fixed start location—download the app and begin anywhere in downtown Ottawa; choose a central spot like ByWard Market or near the Rideau Canal for quick access to checkpoints.
Groups of friends, families, or corporate teams can play; the app accommodates typical small teams, but larger groups should split into multiple teams for the leaderboard.
The game is stroller-accessible and suitable for those who use mobility aids, as it primarily follows sidewalks and flat city routes; however, participants should plan routes avoiding stairs or narrow alleys.
For a full refund cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time; cancellations within 24 hours are non-refundable.
Ottawa grew from the 19th-century settlement of Bytown and expanded around the Rideau Canal; many downtown streets and stone buildings reflect that early industrial and federal history.
Keep the game low-impact—dispose of any trash, respect private property, and stay on public pathways; minimizing noise and waste protects both urban wildlife and neighbor relations.
Zombie Scavengers Hunts operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
