This is very poorly maintained. We couldn't finish because of missing/unreachable clues. DO NOT RECOMMEND! When we arrived at the first stop, they didn't have lanyards for us. Not a huge deal. We set out to continue our hunt. When we got to the parking lot, we searched & searched for the clue that was supposed to be on the fence. We never found it. We finally checked the hints & compared the picture on the hints to where this box should have been. It's not there, it's been removed. This was a letdown, we had spent a lot of time circling this lot. A few in our bunch were getting tired of it. We continued on to the 'bench with no seat' along the water. The bench has barbed wire in front of it, so they are not easy to investigate. We had to go up and around the fence, carefully make our way down the steep hill to see the back of the bench. This also required a fair bit of time. This really discouraged the rest of the group & we didn't make it much farther before we called it & quit. It seems like nobody is monitoring this event & checking to make sure things are still there & accessible. I have tried to reach out to customer support MANY times for the tefund they promised & they just keep telling me it's still coming. It's been 5 months now.

Engaging Family Activity - recommend to check it out!
If you are looking for something to do in a sunny afternoon (or morning), I highly recommend Foxtrail! I’ve been living in Vancouver for more than 20 years and I enjoyed discovering the city with this activity in COMPASS trail. It was fun, creative, a great combination of physical clues, puzzles and AR in the app. It is suitable for the whole family. I can’t wait to try the other trail (more advanced) soon!
Operator response

A healthy amount of fun and challenges
A fun team building experience - full of brain teasers and fun! Well organized. Explored parts of downtown I never knew existed!
Operator response
We are very happy that you liked it! The fox is really sneaky and goes to places that have never been seen before :)

So many surprises!
What a pass! Very nice to know the city and do something that makes you think and work as a team. Much different from the tours we usually do. We got a little lost but eventually we managed to follow the fox to the end.
Operator response
Hello! Thank you for the feedback. Working in team is way much better when the Fox is by your side. May the Fox be with you. ;)

Rediscovering our backyard
We didn't expect the weather to be like that but it made the experience truly amazing. Congrats to the team behind this. The trail led us through parts of the city we thought we knew well. The toolkit was really cool. So many surprises. Well done.

Best activity to explore Vancouver
Exciting to finally have Foxtrail in Vancouver. I did this trail with friends and we all had lots of fun. We explored interesting places we have never seen before. The whole trail is very interactive and engaging. The riddles are quite challenging at times which we absolutely loved. Can't wait to do the other trail.
Operator response
Thank you very much for your feedback. We are thrilled to having built 2 trails for locals and tourists to play them while having lots of fun! Looking forward to having you on Trail Amphibious!

Clever riddles! Cool walk playing with the city!
It is a great walk in Vancouver solving clever riddles and getting to know amazing places. Cool for adults and teens. Some riddles can be challenging for the children but they loved to participate. We will try the other trail next coming days.
