Rockcliffe Riddle Ride: The Night You Don’t Remember

You wake up in the wrong room, with the wrong memories—and someone is chasing you. You’re Jackson, an Ottawa local who was supposed to meet your best friend Elsa last night. Now you’re sprinting past mansion gates and embassy crests, pockets full of odd clues (a pet collar, a coffee receipt, a handwritten note) and a headache that won’t quit. Follow your footprints through Rockcliffe Park—Ottawa’s most prestigious, story-stacked neighbourhood—where flags, coats of arms, sculptures, and stone guardians become your guideposts. Decode what happened between the Norwegian gateposts and the US ambassador’s residence, piece together the elephants, harps, lions and keys, and find out why “Lornado” is inked on your skin. It’s a thriller wrapped in a neighbourhood tour: part mystery, part heritage walk, part international scavenger hunt. Lace up—or hop on a bike or e-scooter—and retrace the wildest night you (don’t) remember.

The Cardinal Disappearance: Shadows of Downtown Ottawa

Ottawa hides more than monuments and politics—something darker lingers in its shadows. James Cardinal, heir to a powerful local family, has vanished without a trace. As a seasoned private investigator, you've been called in to uncover the truth before whispers turn into headlines. His last signal came from downtown, but the trail has gone cold. Will you crack the case before it disappears for good? Step into the streets, follow cryptic clues, solve real-world puzzles, and piece together the mystery one step at a time. Bring a friend or your most trusted partner—this isn’t a game you’ll want to play alone. It's a thrilling walk through secrets, lies, and hidden corners of the capital. The city is waiting. Are you ready to follow the trail?
