Team building routes in Ottawa

Looking for team building ideas in Ottawa? Each route below is a story your team solves on foot, clue by clue, and the leaderboard at the end shows which team won.

In Ottawa, the safe first choice is Dorothy's Quest: The Trials of Oz, which starts at Confederation Square and takes 90 minutes over 2.6 km. A competitive team should take the Death in the Shadows murder mystery in The Glebe, from Aberdeen Pavilion. A big group can split between Dorothy's Quest and the ByWard Market murder mystery, which start a short walk apart, and meet up after. For an event after work, the Rockcliffe Riddle Ride is the evening route, 71 minutes over 3.5 km from Crichton Lodge.

How the afternoon runs

There is nothing to organise on the day in Ottawa: the app runs the game, keeps the score and shows who won.

  1. Meet at the start point

    Every route starts at a set place, shown on its page. No venue to book.

  2. Split into teams in the app

    Everyone opens the free Questo app and the teams are chosen there.

  3. 60 to 90 minutes of play

    Teams race the same route, team against team, solving clues at real places.

  4. Finish together

    Everyone ends at the same place and sees the leaderboard: one team takes the win.

What organisers ask us

  • How colleagues join

    Everyone installs the free Questo app on iOS or Android. The teams are chosen in the app.

  • Staggered starts

    Teams can start a few minutes apart, so they do not follow each other, and still finish at the same place.

  • If it rains

    Access never expires. Play another day.

  • Languages

    Each route has its own languages. Check them on the route page before you book.

  • Pace and accessibility

    You set the pace and can pause the game at any time.

  • Bring a charged phone

    The game runs on the phone for the whole route, so start with a full battery.

It just continued to get better, plus there were so many new peices of art
GrantOttawa: In the Eyes of a Street Artist★★★★★
Absolutely loved it! It was fun to walk around and see the area, take photos, and follow the clues. The puzzles were great, some challenging, some easier, and I took my time with them, making an afternoon of it.
