Montreal Old Port Quest: Self-Guided Mystery Walk

Take on the investigation during a self-guided mystery walk through Montreal's Old Port. You play an archaeologist whose team unearths a

20-metre stone statue at the Pointe-à-Callière excavation. By morning it has disappeared, and the clues take a supernatural turn. On your phone, the Questo app leads you from marker to marker across 10 genuine Old Port sites: Pointe-à-Callière, the Daniel McAllister tug, Habitat 67, La Grande Roue, and the Voiles en Voiles pirate ships. You crack riddles, decode puzzles, and pursue the giant along the St Lawrence. Every chapter offers its own puzzle plus a fragment of Old Port history, from the 17th-century fur trade all the way to the 2017 Ferris wheel. Set off whenever suits you, pause as you please, and resume right where you stopped. Plan on roughly 50 minutes for the whole 2.8 km route, which runs along the riverside promenade. It's family friendly, enjoyable for couples over a Montreal weekend, or for anyone who wants to experience the Old Port through a story.
