Would have been way better yet if the investigation had more of a connection to the clues and the history we learned.

This was a fun and informative game! Covered the main landmarks and learned so much! The walking areas were nice too. You can do it on foot or on a bicycle. I did it walking.

Great adventure. Some challenges are challenging but easily done with provided optional hints. Plenty of historical facts can be easily skipped. Advertisement is in other languages in Trip Advisor but app only available in English. It is possible to make the quest by walking within 2 hours but app recommends by bike. I recommend it. Have fun exploring!vanessas_12

This is put together well and will take you on an amazing walking tour of downtown Ottawa. We may have even learned a few things! (Note: Wear comfortable shoes!) Thanks.
