You and your team stand on a downtown curb, phones in hand, the North Saskatchewan River running like a silver stripe to your left and the Legislature’s stone steps catching late light to your right. The app pings: your first clue. You move through blocks of murals, past modern glass, and into quieter riverfront greens—each solved challenge unlocking points and nudging you toward the leaderboard.

The app pings: your first clue. You move through blocks of murals, past modern glass, and into quieter riverfront greens—each solved challenge unlocking points and nudging you toward the leaderboard.
Edmonton’s streets tell a layered story: a Hudson’s Bay trading post grew into a rail hub and later a modern city shaped by oil and festivals. Geologically, the city rims a broad glacial river valley carved by meltwater; culturally, it sits on Treaty 6 territory and blends Indigenous, European and immigrant influences—visible in public art, markets and food scenes you’ll encounter while playing.
Practical guidance: the game is app-based and self-directed with a remote host via chat, so expect two hours of walking across mostly flat urban pavement and river-valley promenades. Begin in central downtown or Whyte Avenue for the densest clue concentration; public transit and paid parking are nearby. Bring a fully charged smartphone and a portable charger, wear supportive walking shoes, and plan buffer time for photos and transit between clusters of tasks. Timing matters—start earlier on weekends to avoid tourist crowds and finish before dusk if you prefer well-lit streets. Keep belongings close in busy areas and follow local rules when photographing private property.
Operation City Quest is part scavenger hunt, part city tour: it sharpens observation, rewards strategy, and gives a compact, social way to explore Edmonton’s urban and riverside character.
After booking you receive instructions to download the app, enter your game code, and begin from the designated downtown start area; a remote host is available via chat throughout the game.
