Discover Edmonton’s secrets on a scavenger hunt style tour. 

Your Clue Solving Adventure guides you along a route through downtown Edmonton. When you combine the thrill of a scavenger hunt with the clue-solving challenge of an escape room and then add the excitement of racing against the clock, it’s much more than just a tour. This adventure game is a brain-teasing voyage of discovery and finding secrets that even the locals don’t know.

You’ll receive a series of clues on the free App. Each clue will lead you on an easy walk to a new location where you'll find a hidden word or solve a puzzle. Along the way you'll uncover hidden spots and local icons.

This adventure is a great experience for families, friends, and groups. Whether you choose to race against the clock or simply enjoy the experience as you tour the town is entirely up to you!
