Vancouver Old Town Treasure Hunt: Self-Guided Walking Game
Overview
Step into the historic streets of Gastown and become a daring treasure hunter chasing the legendary Oppenheimer Stash - a lost fortune from Vancouver’s Gold Rush era. Guided only by an old letter and your own instincts, you'll follow hidden clues, solve real-world puzzles, and uncover secret corners of the city.
With your smartphone as your guide, you'll explore ornate turn-of-the-century architecture, discover landmarks from Vancouver’s past, and even glimpse long-lost sites through a mysterious picture frame that reveals echoes of history.
Each solved puzzle reveals a new piece of the story and brings you closer to the treasure. Play at your own pace, solo or with friends and family, and create unforgettable memories as you walk, think, and explore.
