Foxtrail Amphibious Trail in Vancouver is a 3.5-hour self-guided scavenger hunt with escape-game puzzles and street views from Yaletown.
“DO NOT book with Foxtrail Canada. I rarely give negative reviews but I don’t want another family to be disappointed and out $. We attempted the Foxtrail Amphibious Trail Vancouver experience on March 16, 2024 at 1:40 p.m. At the very start, the lockbox at Martway that was to contain supplies was empty. Martway management didn’t have a solution. We left two urgent voicemails and an email with Foxtrail and waited for 90 minutes but never heard back. We went home a bunch of sad sacks. Two days later, we received an apologetic email from Patricia Monteiro with Foxtrail and were assured she had “initiated the process” for our refund.…”

“If you are looking for something to do in a sunny afternoon (or morning), I highly recommend Foxtrail! I’ve been living in Vancouver for more than 20 years and I enjoyed discovering the city with this activity in COMPASS trail. It was fun, creative, a great combination of physical clues, puzzles and AR in the app. It is suitable for the whole family.”
A self-guided Vancouver walking puzzle game that links Gold Rush stories to Gastown landmarks, with offline play and 14 challenges for $7.20.
“Super cute tour. It was a grand way to see Gastown and learn a little bit of history. The riddles get a little weak in the middle puzzles, we liked when they included the environment we’d walked to. We stopped by a couple of shops during the tour and it only took us an hour and thirty. It worked well on one phone and three people. All in all, a fun tour and a good way to kill some time.”
A 2-hour self-guided Kingston walking scavenger hunt. Explore 27 stops with 34 challenges, start anytime on your phone, bilingual.
“Super fun activity! It took a few minutes for the Viator email to come through to give the coupon code for the actual website to redeem the hunt, but just be patient and it will work. The final challenge didn’t work. The website gave me an error and when I tried to go back to the previous page, it took me to the home page. But whatever. Still had a fun time doing something a little different with coworkers while we were all out of town for work.”

Phone-powered Calgary scavenger hunt with trivia and photo challenges at 12 landmarks for about 2 hours, starting and ending on 8 Ave SE.
“It was fun and easy to walk to. The start and finish points are close to each other which meant we had to walk back. If it was intentional, ok, I don’t understand the intention though. We didn’t know it’s a timed tour. We mad it without paying for extra time. I thought I could have a coffee in between, good we didn’t. With a kid it needs more time or a different line up.”

“We were unable to have all three of participants on the hunt. There was a lack of WiFi as we were “hunting around” Niagara Falls. When I call customer service at let’s roam I was told that there needed to be continuous WiFi. How can you do this if you are walking around the town. I paid for the, only one was able to log on and still unable to complete due to intermittent service. Waste of money and time”
