Highlights
- Vancouver Downtown - This unique sightseeing experience takes place in downtown Vancouver’s shopping and entertainment district in the city centre. You will see shops, restaurants, bars and other attractions along the way.
- Vancouver Lookout - Take a glass elevator up 168 meters (553 feet) to enjoy a 360° view that includes Stanley Park, historic Gastown, the Northshore mountains and the vibrant downtown core. Vancouver Lookout has been an iconic element of the city’s skyline since 1977. This attraction is close to the start and end of all of our outdoor games. Check their listings for times/admission and plan to visit before or after your game.
- Sinclair Center - Sinclair Centre is an upscale shopping mall in Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia that was built in 1913.
- Marine Building - When this beautiful art deco building was completed in 1930, it was the city’s tallest skyscraper.
- Granville Street - Downtown Vancouver’s entertainment district.
- CF Pacific Centre - An underground shopping mall below the heart of the city.
- Hudson Bay Company - Built in 1913 (with slightly newer additions in coming years), this location is a flagship store of the Hudson’s Bay department store chain.
The Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) is one of the oldest surviving companies in the English-speaking world (chartered May 2 1670). The Hudson Bay Company was a fur trading business for most of its history but if you have time to pop in during your spy mission you’ll see that it now a rather fancy department store!
- Vancouver Art Gallery - The Vancouver Art Gallery is a 15,300-square-metre-building adjacent in downtown Vancouver (the largest art museum in Western Canada). The plazas on the north and south sides of the building are places where locals gather for political demonstrations, community events, free movies nights and more. The north plaza was renamed šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énḵ Square in 2018 as part of acknowledging the colonial legacy of naming in Vancouver.
- Bill Reid Gallery Of Northwest Coast Art - Established in 2008 by the Bill Reid Foundation, this gallery stands as a tribute to the legendary Haida master artist, Bill Reid (1920 - 1998) and the art and living traditions of the Northwest Coast.

Fun Date Night Experience! - Very friendly game runner who really committed to the bit! Well thought out challenges that also show off interesting landmarks in downtown Vancouver. Puzzles were definitely intermediate - fun and just challenging enough without being frustrating! Would recommend for couples, friends, or larger groups.

Clever clues and hidden gems - The game/tour was a great team building activity and would also be great for larger groups to compete with each other. The guidebook, challenges and spy kit were well designed and cleverly thought out. All of the challenges were extremely clever and fun to solve. We also got to know the city and its buildings better even discovering a couple hidden downtown city gems we had never seen/been to. Huge thanks to Tanya and her team for an amazing experience.

Great ice-breaker! - Really neat escape room-type puzzle solving activity. Only thing I regret is that my friends and I are so competitive we didn't really take in the city like we should have! Our spy master was great and we had a ton of fun! It was a great icebreaker activity for a group that didn't all know each other before this trip.

Secret Spy Mission Vancouver BC - The “Secret Mission” was VERY challenging (there were several times you had to think through several of the clues so that we could figure out how they all linked together), and the mission also helped us to see many neat things and buildings around downtown Vancouver. We temporarily saved Vancouver, but…because we ran out of time and we did not figure out exactly who Blackout was, they could come back at any time and attack again. Good agents will be needed to defeat them.

This this location is 100% not recommended - We ended up canceling this event after we walked through town to get to it. It was so disturbing to see the active drug use block after block around the place to start. It greatly disturbed my child and we had to go back to our hotel. Disappointed we couldn’t do it, but even more disappointed in the location that’s picked to start.
