Excellent murder mystery! Lots of fun, kept everyone engaged, so much fun and would definitely recommend. Did as team building event but would also be great to do with a group of friends for an event or just for fun!

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.

Really good fun and a great way to see Gastown. The murder mystery set some good puzzles and we enjoyed combining the challenge with getting to know Gastown better.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My spouse loves these kinds of events so I organized it with our family. We had a great time running around solving the puzzles. In fact we plan to try some of their other adventures in the future

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!
