A late-afternoon sun slants across the Saint John River as teams scatter from the sandstone face of the Legislative Building, phones in hand and eyes on riddles. The city hums — downtown storefronts, cobbled back alleys, and the leafy paths of Officer’s Square — and the app pings with the first clue. Players trade clues, chase points, and trade laughs, all while an off-site host nudges teams through chat.

A late-afternoon sun slants across the Saint John River as teams scatter from the sandstone face of the Legislative Building, phones in hand and eyes on riddles. The city hums — downtown storefronts, cobbled back alleys, and the leafy paths of Officer’s Square — and the app pings with the first clue. Players trade clues, chase points, and trade laughs, all while an off-site host nudges teams through chat.
Fredericton’s streets are compact but storied: the colonial-era Garrison District, Victorian brick facades, and the Beaverbrook Art Gallery anchor short walks between clue sites. Geology is subtle here — lowland river terraces carved by the Saint John, river-worn granite underfoot where you’ll pause to scan for answers. The city’s cultural pulse is present in bilingual signage, local craft cafés, and Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqey histories woven into public plaques.
Practical details shape the fun: the hunt runs about two hours, all app-based and self-paced; it requires a charged smartphone, basic mobility on sidewalks and city stairs, and a sense for solving riddles. Teams can play in any order, view live leaderboards, and message a remote host for hints. Timing matters — weekdays are quieter for photos, while summer evenings bring more street life. Dress for weather, bring a portable charger, and plan a warm café stop after to compare scores.
This is a social, low-impact way to learn Fredericton’s layout and stories — competitive enough for teams, relaxed enough for families and casual explorers.
Most bookings accommodate small teams; check the vendor’s booking page for specific group limits but the experience is designed for flexible team sizes.
You need a smartphone with internet access to run the app; local Wi‑Fi or a roaming data plan will work, and public Wi‑Fi may be available in some downtown venues.
Many downtown areas are accessible and the operator notes stroller access; however, some sidewalks and historic sections may present uneven surfaces—plan your route accordingly.
A remote host is available via the app chat to provide hints, troubleshoot issues, and answer questions in real time.
