EXCURSIONS – VANCOUVER DAY TOURS
SHORE EXCURSIONS
Shore Excursions: Explore downtown Vancouver while you solve a mystery.
Outdoor game routes go past historic sites, iconic architecture, Vancouver landmarks and impressive public art. You will know the city better than some locals and you’ll have plenty of time to pick out restaurants and shops you want to visit after the game (and you’ll know how to get there!). It’s like the best combination of an adventure excursion and a food excursion because YOU get to choose what you will eat along the way.
A detective or agent from Vancouver Mysteries meets you at the beginning and end of your mystery to give you everything you need to play.
Family Excursions
Vancouver Mysteries outdoor games in downtown Vancouver are a great way to explore a city with kids on a family excursion from cruise ships. Choose from 3 games for ages 12 and up and one game for younger kids (ages 6 and up).
Kids Under 6 Play For Free!
Add up to 2 kids under 6 years old to your team for free during the booking process. Book your game here.
