Overview

2 hours

Mobile ticket

Enjoy a role-playing scavenger hunt experience that encourages people to step outside, solve the murder mystery and build connections with long-lasting memories.

The Murder Mystery in Ottawa is an interactive game/activity where you are guided by the Questo mobile app through a set of locations in Ottawa, while stepping in the shoes of the story's main character. At each location, you will follow directions and solve very fun puzzles, riddles, and cryptic codes that will unfold the story and guide you to the next location.

Designed to be enjoyed on foot, this experience is ideal for exploring the city on a romantic date, a family outing, or as a team-building activity. During the activity, you will also visit popular and hidden places in Ottawa while learning fun stories about them. This is a storytelling experience just as much as it is a role-playing scavenger hunt.

Make sure to have your pen and paper ready to jot down all the crucial evidence. Main Highlights: - Investigate a Chilling Mystery – Step into the shoes of a detective and uncover the truth behind Bella's murder. - Solve Puzzles & Follow Clues – Explore historic streets, decipher hidden messages, and piece together the evidence. - Uncover a Deadly Secret – Explore famous landmarks and hidden corners as you piece together the truth behind Bella’s murder. - Perfect for Date Night… Or a Killer Group Activity – Play with your partner, a group of friends, or even solo—just don’t end up the next victim!

    It was a wonderful way to get some fresh air on a nice walk with beautiful sights (highly recommend doing it in the evening when it's dark), and super cheap!

    Fun but could have used 2 phones instead of having everyone’s looking down at their phones. Not too much walking. Everyone was able to do it

    This a walking tour of downtown Ottawa. Personally, I enjoyed it, but my husband found the scavenger hunt part of this tour "annoying." We are not into escape rooms or scavenger hunts normally so this was a departure for us. The tour was easy to follow and it took us around the major sites in downtown Ottawa. I am planning to do it again in Philadelphia with a girlfriend of mine, I DId find it fun although I was a bit frustrated with the some of the treasure hunt questions being asked.
