3.Street Art Exploration Game and Self-Guided Tour in Ottawa

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 20 reviews · 50 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes (approx.) · from $7

Use the Questo app to follow clues through Ottawa’s city center, from Ottawa Mural and The Living Room to the BLM mural, Lion Dance, and KindComments.

“I loved it! The 80min is definitely by bike though and NOT on foot. On foot I would count on 3h or so. Because it was much longer than expected, I didn't manage to finish it on scene, but I completed it by using Google street view xD The support was really good, it is difficult to go from the support back to the game though.”
