Calgary’s Kensington Food Tour Quest

Explore great places to eat in Kensington in a fun and interactive way.

Think of the Kensington Food Tour Quest as one-part self-guided food tour and one-part living board game and scavenger hunt. All you need to play is a GPS-enabled mobile device.

It’s easy to play! Clue Icons pop up on a map of the area on the App to help you complete your mission (the full self-guided food tour). Once you complete one clue, the next appears. You’ll enjoy a tour of carefully selected local food businesses as well as history, art and culture stops.

Your Kensington Quest: Become a Celebrity Food Finder
Prove yourself as the Calgary Food Finder and you’ll land this dream job where you’ll travel the globe as the personal food finder for an A-list celebrity couple. You’ll need to solve clues and puzzles, uncover the hidden gems, and taste your way through the Kensington neighbourhood to achieve the score needed to win this delicious deal of a lifetime.

• Dive deep into Calgary’s food culture and discover hidden gems in a charming foodie neighbourhood you might not find on your own.
• Taste scrumptious samples exclusive to this adventure.
• A great activity for families, friends, or couples to do at a date, time and pace that works best for you.
• Complete a fun challenge and be amazed at everything Calgary’s Kensington district has to offer!
• Receive small food samples and discounts at several Kensington District vendors.

• 7 days a week. We suggest playing Tuesday - Saturday Noon - 6pm to capture the most businesses open. You can still play the game even if some of the businesses are closed and evening is a fun time to play too.

How it works:

• Groups of 1 to 4 people can play on one device, or you can divide into teams on separate mobile devices and compete against each other.
• Once you’ve registered your foodie adventure with the tour provider, you’ll receive an email with instructions and access code to the free app called “Loquiz”. This is done after you’ve activated your experience on Breakaway Experiences’ website.
• Download the App and use the access code to activate your adventure.
• You’ll then receive a map of the area where the quest begins and a series of clues through the tour App. Each clue will lead you on an easy walk to a different location where you will have to solve the next clue.

• 2 hours if you have no stops, but we recommend taking longer to enjoy eating and shopping along the way.
• Walking distance is approximately 1.5 km – an easy, flat walk.
