Frequently asked questions
What’s the deal with Gastown’s Hidden Gold?
You’re a treasure hunter chasing an old letter from the Gold Rush era. With that, you follow clues around Gastown, solve puzzles, use a strange picture frame that lets you see (and even touch) things from the past. It’s part history, part adventure, part “what-if I could steal from time?”
Who would really enjoy this quest?
Folks who love mystery, history, vintage vibes. Great for friends looking for a fun walk, couples wanting a romantic twist, or families with older kids who dig puzzles or treasure stories.
Could this be good for a romantic evening?
Yes! Picture this: Gastown at dusk, old architecture glowing, solving clues together, maybe stopping at a cozy café or one of the vintage saloons. Makes for a date that’s more than just dinner.
Is this okay for families/older kids?
Yeah, especially with older kids. The puzzle bits are engaging, and the story (hidden gold, picture frame time travel) is exciting. Younger kids might find some scenes confusing, so daylight play helps.
Do I need to start at a specific time or go with a group?
Nope. You can start the quest any time of day. It’s self-guided, so you and your partner, friends, or family can begin when you want (Gastown has plenty of energy any hour).
