Frequently asked questions

Looking for a magical-date outing—how can this fit the bill?

Begin near Memorial Park Library, catch sunset over downtown Calgary, then dive into The Oz Escape. Following Oz-themed puzzles while exploring art, murals, and hidden alleys with your partner turns the city into your own fantasy world.

Is this experience good for families with kids?

Absolutely. Kids usually love stepping into the shoes of ruby-slipper seekers. The storyline is fun, not frightening, and pacing is flexible—plenty of stops for ice cream, park breaks, and photo moments.

We’re a group of friends—what makes this adventure fun with others?

Split into teams to compete for the leaderboard, share laughs over clues, maybe even dress up in your favourite Oz character. It’s perfect for group bonding and exploring city streets you might not otherwise walk down.

Do I need to be a theatre or Oz fan to enjoy this?

Not at all. While the quest draws on Oz themes—witches, songs, iconic references—you don’t need prior knowledge. The puzzles guide you, the story immerses you, and the locations let Calgary do the talking.

What parts of Calgary will I discover?

You’ll wind through downtown Calgary—from Memorial Park Library to Central Memorial Park—seeing public art, architectural gems, hidden passageways, and vibrant city spots you might pass by on a regular walk.
