Secret agents needed! You will be met by a real person in character as a Special Agent who will send you on your Secret Mission and give you everything you need to play. Are you ready for your Secret Mission? You have two hours to save the city!
Your spy kit will include a real map, clues, tools, a locked box and more - this game is like an escape room stretched across the city.

This outdoor escape room mystery game is *real* fun - there is no app to download, no wifi or devices required. You'll be too busy exploring downtown Vancouver to look at your phone (but don't forget to take photos)!

5.00We had a great time saving Vancouver from a villainous spy group! It's fun way to see a bit of the city including places we didn't know existed. The tasks were laid out well and not so difficult that you couldn't complete it in the 2 hours. We'll definitely try their other games.
Nice birthday for a 12 year old.

5.00Took at group of 12 year olds. The puzzles were challenging yet solvable. Just the right level of complexity. We visited lots of nice sites in downtown.
Worth every penny!

5.00It was a lot of fun. The clues were clever, and made you work. The distance covered was manageable and we learned about some of the historic buildings in downtown. When polling our group the highlight was discovering a small beautiful little park which none of us knew was there. Would we do it again? Absolutely!
Fun night for a group of 11 friends

5.00We had such a great time doing the Secret Mission with Vancouver Mysteries. We were looking for a scavenger hunt and this was a bit like a scavenger hunt and a bit like an escape room. We did this in the evening on a weekend which was nice because the traffic was light and made it easy to wander around downtown. Even for a group of people who live in Vancouver, this opened our eyes to some things we hadn't noticed or things we didn't know. We were a competitive bunch but you should know that just because you make it back first doesn't guarantee your win - You must pay attention to the details! Agent Titus was great at playing along with our competitive nature. We'd love to do it again, perhaps even the family friendly version with our kids.

5.00This exciting game was just what we were looking for as a team building activity for our Grade 8s and 9s this year. The "detectives" that met us downtown were completely in character and our students were captivated by all the cool accessories for the game. The missions are well thought-out, clearly presented, and engaging for young teens. We would definitely do another Vancouver Mysteries field trip next year!
Best Group Game EVER

5.00A great experience for a large group of overly-competitive friends. We loved discovering spots in the city we never knew existed. And our game commissioner was amazing and stuck to her character completely (also loved our perfect score and PNE tickets haha).
Great experience as a player and as event organizer

5.00My colleagues and I had a great time last week playing the Secret Mission game, which we had all to ourselves as a large-ish group. The team sizes were capped at 5 players, making it easier to share tasks while staying quick. Our game leader, Agent Griffiths, was dedicated to playing her role and that really helped our less-playful teammates get into the theme! As one of the people organizing this event for my company, my original plan had been to find a sports venue with a bar. However, availability mid-summer was extremely low and the effort required to plan that sort of event was very high at a time when we're all quite busy. The Vancouver Mysteries game was easy for me to just book and let the pros handle its execution - my contact in their head office has been helpful at every turn. We were even able to have the game start right at our office and end near a pub! Overall, as a player and an organizer, I was very pleased and I'd do it again.
So much better than expected!!!

5.00We did this for a company meeting event with about 30 people, ages 23-70. People were grumbling a bit on the way to the starting location, but once the game was underway people got REALLY into it. Everyone had a blast. Absolutely perfect thing to do for a team-building event, especially when the teams were split into people who don't typically work together. Thanks so much for the amazing experience!! I definitely want to do this again :)
Super fun activity to do with a team!

5.00We did this as our work’s social event and it was a ton of fun! Well designed, whimsical “missions” that allowed every one of us to apply our own unique strengths! Absolutely recommend it! We had 6 teams of 4-5 people competing in this amazing race style. You don’t want to miss this!
