Vancouver outdoor game

The family edition is good for children ages 8 and up to work on along with their parents or at least one adult. New for is The Case of the Hotel Detective. With this game, unlike the others, you can play it at home. Vancouver Mysteries will actually deliver the materials to your house, hotel room or place of business. With this game, you have an hour and a half to solve the case. This last game though is recommended just for adults.

In the Crime in Downtown game participants have to solve the murder of Jimmy Capello. The Crime in Downtown game involves a murder that took place years ago.

The victim, Jimmy Capello, was not only strangled, but also stabbed and poisoned too! Who was the murderer? You have to wander around Gastown looking for clues to solve this puzzling cold case! To give you an idea of what a Vancouver Mysteries adventure is like, below are details about our experience with this game. In the game we had to show up at our starting time at a specific location, say a secret code and then receive our mission details. We were given our sticker detective badges, our detective kits and basic instructions.

The clock then started and we had just minutes to solve the crime and be back. In our detective kit we had a map, pieces of evidence and a series of clues to find and solve. We had to go to different addresses and look for specific items. We had to decipher codes, measure things and think outside the box in several cases. Some of the clues were easy and others were more challenging.

By the end of our two hours we had deciphered most but not all of the clues, but still managed to solve the crime. We got a score of 67 out of which gave us a ranking of Senior Detectives!

We also had a great time and recommend the game. Below are some tips and suggestions to help you make the most out of your Vancouver Mysteries experience. TIP 1 : You get a detective kit or superhero kit or secret agent package at the start of your game. In it are materials to help you solve the case or save the city depending on which adventure you are on. The evidence and tools you are carrying are all important. Also, be careful not to drop and lose any of the pieces along the way!

You might, but, like us, you might not. Just move on to the next clue. You might also have time to go back and try again later. TIP 4 : Costumes are encouraged, but not mandatory. Most people just wear their regular clothes, but some participants are keeners, go all out and make this a serious event.

TIP 6 : The games can be played with teams of two to six players. We did it with three and it worked great. The more players you have though, the better your chances of one of your team members being able to think outside the box and solve the more challenging clues. If you forget your glasses you can either listen to someone else reading things out or look inside your kit and hope to find a magnifying glass.

TIP 8 : At the end of your adventure you report back to where you started. There, an agent or other character checks your findings, gives you a score based on what you did right and explains what you did wrong. Be sure to ask if they forget to tell you everything.

When we did our adventure we just walked at an average walking pace. The following three games all take place online, so you can play them from home! This is especially good for those who want to have fun with family and friends in a comfortable and COVID-friendly format. In addition to the above adventure games that people play in-person in downtown Vancouver, Vancouver Mysteries has a family-friendly virtual game that people can play via Zoom.

Circus-themed Big Top Werewolf involves acting and tricks like magic, weight lifting and dancing. Whereas the downtown games involve walking, deciphering codes and activities that challenge your brain, Big Top Werewolf involves light-hearted silliness, mini skits and laughter. The online game is great for children and multi-generational families and friends.

Corporate groups also find it good for team building and social events. To learn more about the circus-themed online game, see our article about Big Top Werewolf. This virtual game is more like a game show than it is a mystery game. However, it still makes for a competitive night of fun! Participants play as individuals or form teams and compete against friends and family members to score the most points.

Each game is private and can include between 6 and players. A host guides everyone throughout the game. With a variety of trivia categories available, everyone can play this online game show more than once. Prior to each game, groups vote on which 4 trivia categories they wish to play.

All categories offer numerous types of questions, including multiple choice, ordering, video clues, audio clues and more. Unlike the Big Top Werewolf game, the trivia game is recommended for people ages 14 and above. Copy Link. Link Copied. Save to Wishlist. See More. Number of travelers.
