Ottawa Murder Mystery: Self-Guided City Detective Game
Description
Enjoy a role-playing scavenger hunt experience that encourages people to step outside, solve the murder mystery and build connections with long-lasting memories. The Murder Mystery in Ottawa is an interactive game/activity where you are guided by the Questo mobile app through a set of locations in Ottawa, while stepping in the shoes of the story's main character. At each location, you will follow directions and solve very fun puzzles, riddles, and cryptic codes that will unfold the story and guide you to the next location. Designed to be enjoyed on foot, this experience is ideal for exploring the city on a romantic date, a family outing, or as a team-building activity. During the activity, you will also visit popular and hidden places in Ottawa while learning fun stories about them. This is a storytelling experience just as much as it is a role-playing scavenger hunt.

It is a very relaxing way to spend a couple of hours with someone. It is fun, interactive, and so reasonably priced.
Thanks for the lovely review! I'm so glad to hear you found the game to be a fun, interactive, and reasonably priced way to spend a relaxing afternoon. Hope to see you exploring another city with us soon! Thanks, Alex - Founder of Questo
It was a wonderful way to get some fresh air on a nice walk with beautiful sights (highly recommend doing it in the evening when it's dark), and super cheap!
Thank you for the great review. We're so glad you enjoyed the walk and the atmosphere — doing it in the evening is a great tip. We appreciate your recommendation and hope you’ll join another quest soon.
Fun but could have used 2 phones instead of having everyone’s looking down at their phones. Not too much walking. Everyone was able to do it
Thanks so much for your feedback, and we’re glad you enjoyed it. Good point about using two phones — we’re working on a multiplayer mode so each player can follow along on their own screen. Hope to have you back for another mystery soon.
This a walking tour of downtown Ottawa. Personally, I enjoyed it, but my husband found the scavenger hunt part of this tour "annoying." We are not into escape rooms or scavenger hunts normally so this was a departure for us. The tour was easy to follow and it took us around the major sites in downtown Ottawa. I am planning to do it again in Philadelphia with a girlfriend of mine, I DId find it fun although I was a bit frustrated with the some of the treasure hunt questions being asked.
Thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed exploring Ottawa and appreciate your honesty about the game style. Hope you have a great time in Philadelphia—it's a fun one!
