What kind of quests are there in Montreal?

You’ve got mystery escapes, history walks, art-filled underground adventures. Shuffle through Old Port, Little Burgundy, Old Montreal, the Underground Heart… lots of vibes depending on what mood you’re in.

Looking for something romantic or date-worthy?

For sure — try Murder Mystery: Solve the Case in Montreal. You and your partner walk through historic streets, follow clues, maybe stop at a cozy café, all while trying to crack a murder case together. Much more interesting than dinner alone.

Can locals get something new out of these quests?

Totally. Even people who know the city well find hidden histories, murals, underground passages, stories behind buildings they pass all the time. It refreshes old familiarity.

Are these quests good for solo travellers or groups?

Yep. Solo is cool if you enjoy thinking and exploring alone. Groups are fun too—they make puzzles more social, you share “aha!” moments. Both work.

What spots will I see on most quests in Montreal?

Expect Notre-Dame Basilica, the Old Port, Saint-Lawrence River views, Jean-Talon Market, Place des Arts, murals and hidden back-streets in Little Burgundy, maybe the Atwater footbridge.

Walk through Montreal at your own pace with Questo's self-guided walking tours. Follow clues through the cobblestoned streets of Old Montreal, up into the colourful Plateau, and through the murals and cafés of Mile End. Every tour runs on your phone, no guide, no group, no schedule.

About Montreal

In Montreal, Questo turns a walk through Canada into a self-guided city game. Pick one of 7 active Questo quests, follow clues on your phone, solve puzzles, and unlock a story as you move from stop to stop. There is no guide to meet and no fixed start time, so you can begin when the day works for you. Montreal works well for travelers who want more than a checklist of sights. Each quest gives you a route, a reason to look closer, and small challenges that make the city feel interactive. Use the game to notice side streets, public squares, local stories, and the details that are easy to miss on a normal walk. It suits couples, families, groups of friends, and solo explorers who like flexible outdoor activities. Choose a compact set of walking games, pause whenever you want, and turn time in Montreal into a walk with a plot.
