What they learn

History

How Toronto's old center developed, seen through its landmarks. These run from St. Lawrence Market, the Cathedral Church of St. James and Old City Hall to grand hotels such as the King Edward and the Royal York, and then to the modern TD Centre towers and Nathan Phillips Square, which opened in 1965.

Geography

The urban geography of a downtown core (market district, financial towers, civic squares, residential and gallery neighborhoods such as Yorkville), plus map reading and finding the way on routes of 1.3 to 3.1 km.

English and French

Students read the story and instructions at every stop and work out the puzzles. Old Town Toronto: A Walk Through Twisted Realities and the Distillery District quest are also available in French, which suits Core French and French Immersion classes. Kid Quest also runs in Spanish and Romanian.

Citizenship and teamwork

Students look at civic spaces such as the city's two city halls and public libraries and parks. Teams share tasks, agree on answers and follow the meeting rules on busy city streets.

One phone per team of 3 to 5 students. It can be a teacher's phone or a student's. Students do not need accounts. Each team phone needs mobile data, or you can download the quest beforehand over Wi-Fi so it runs without a signal.

5 euros per student. Teachers and chaperones play free. You can pay by card or by invoice, which suits school finance offices. There is no booking slot and no guide to arrange, so you can start whenever your class arrives.
What happens if it rains?
If the weather spoils the day, you can replay the quest free within 30 days. On the day, St. Lawrence Market South is a covered option on the Old Town route (closed Mondays). Ontario classes can also use the Art Gallery of Ontario, which is free for Ontarians under 25.
