Vancouver City Sightseeing Adventure: a murder mystery in Gastown
Overview
Do you have what it takes to figure out who killed Jimmy Capello, how, and why? He was poisoned, strangled AND stabbed... popular guy!
You will be met by a real person in character as a detective who will send you on your murder investigation and give you everything you need to play. Work your way through Gastown in teams of 2 to 6 players, picking up clues and solving puzzles along the way. You'll see historic places, public art, architecture and other attractions.
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 Gastown in downtown Vancouver to look at your phone (but don't forget to take photos)!
Can you earn a top score and your place on our website and Instagram page? Each team receives a team certificate with their score and each player receives a souvenir sticker. Are you ready to solve this murder mystery? You have two hours to catch a killer!
