The experience

About this quest

A storm has wrecked your boat, your treasure is gone, and your best mate has vanished into the mist. 

You’ve washed ashore in Port Credit, but this isn't the town you know. Here, the animals whisper warnings of the evil that has inflitrated their land. 

You are a castaway in a world of talking squirrels, jewel-dripping mermaids, and rum-soaked pirates. To save your friend, you must navigate the gaslit docks and eerie lagoons of the "Lake of Shining Waters" before the shadows claim you both.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Families with children around 6 to 12 who love pirates, mermaids and talking animals will follow a castaway story through 11 stops in Port Credit, from the pier to the lighthouse and a mermaid lagoon. Local couples and friends get a playful weekend outing by the lake. If you want a short stroll, choose something else: the 2.6 km loop takes over two hours.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a puzzle walk in Port Credit, Mississauga?
Yes. The whole route is in Port Credit by the lake. You walk a 2.6 km loop that ends where it began, with stops such as Under the Bridge, Walk the Pier, Beneath the Lighthouse and Mermaid Lagoon, and solve a puzzle at each one.
Can we do it today in Mississauga without booking a time?
Yes. There is no set departure and no guide to meet. You start whenever you like on your phone, so it works as a last-minute plan for today. Allow about 2 to 2.5 hours for the full story and the walk.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits children of roughly 6 to 12 who enjoy pirates, mermaids and talking squirrels. The story has a mildly eerie tone, with mist, shadows and an evil to defeat, so very young or easily scared children may find it less fun. The distance is 2.6 km.
Can our group play together, and can we take a break?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, so you can solve the puzzles together. You can also pause at any point, stop for a snack by the water, and continue the story later from where you left off.
What happens if it rains?
The quest is an outdoor walk along the lakefront, including the pier and the lighthouse area, so dress for the weather. Since there is no booked time, you can start on a drier day or pause during a shower and carry on later.
