About this experience
No phones or apps required to play any of the games by Vancouver’s original mystery game company. It’s a real life adventure designed and owned by locals.
Are we an Escape Room? No, but there are similarities. We’re not a scavenger hunt either! Vancouver Mysteries games are immersive experiences placing players inside a story as it unfolds. By the end of the game you will know Gastown better than some locals!
