Strange things are afoot in Gastown... - It. Was. Amazing! We came up from Seattle for the long Thanksgiving weekend, and I wanted something we could do if we had to wait for our hotel room to be ready. This was absolutely perfect and our favorite thing we did all four days we were in Vancouver. Whenever anyone asks about our trip, we start with the murder mystery, and my friends now think I'm a genius at finding cool things to do. The awesome person who met us stayed in character and was a lot of fun. They explained that the overall puzzle was to figure out how each suspect had tried to kill the victim and who had succeeded at it. To find out, you go on an adventure through the streets of the Gastown district. It's a satisfying mix of self-guided tour and puzzle-solving, and my husband loved that you had to really pay attention to the streets and buildings. Mindfulness was key. Some of the first few puzzles were on the easier side, but they got more challenging as you progressed. Some clues required careful observation. To get the right overall answers, you had to piece together information from different places. The adventure required a certain amount of effort but it never got frustrating or boring. We totally got into the storyline and had a fantastic time. We can't say enough good things about the staff and the experience. 12/10, would do another game with them. Love, Team SquirreLlama One note: I need a wheelchair to get around sometimes, and the game was very accessible. Just keep an eye out for rough patches of pavement.

Mystery fun in gas town - Very fun activity! The puzzles were interesting but not too difficult that you got stuck for a long time. Got to see lots of Gas Town on the way! Bring water if it’s a hot day.

Great for couples - It's like the Amazing Race!!! - My wife and I did the Vancouver Outdoor Murder Mystery in Gastown during a trip from Phoenix, AZ. We absolutely LOVED IT. Such a fun way to see parts of the city, and work together to solve puzzles and challenges as a couple. It felt like we were on the Amazing Race. The program is really well done, and is challenging, but not impossible. It's more than just a scavenger hunt, and requires some thought and deduction to get things right. I would highly recommend this activity for anyone looking to do something fun in Vancouver.

Fun in Gastown! - The game was exactly as advertised and was a mix of clues that were fairly easy to solve and some that were very tricky. Thanks for a fun couple of hours running around Gastown.

Fantastic Fun, highly recommended - Really fun game, especially if you can get a small group together. Very well organized and a fun challenge. Clues are challenging, but solvable. We had great fun racing around the city for 2 hours trying to solve all the clues.

So much fun!! - We were in Vancouver for a Christmas party and wanted an activity for the night before. Vancouver Mysteries was an excellent choice!! Our group of 10 split into two teams and we had a great time dashing around Gastown solving clues! This game is very well organized and everyone enjoyed playing. Highly recommend!

Detective's night out - Had so much fun with Vancouver Mysteries. Our host/detective from the company met us at Steamworks where we had enjoyed dinner and a few pre-game drinks. Our group of eight broke into two very competitive groups of four. With our bag of tools, our clues, the evidence bag and the police report, it was all very well organized. If we looked bit goofy literally running from place to place in gastown, that's okay as it was part of the fun. Thank you Vancouver Mysteries and Detective Colond.
