Itinerary

Play a city game and discover local stories and mysterious places in Toronto. Learn the secrets lurking behind local landmarks and let yourself be immersed in the dark past of the city. Unravel a supernatural mystery that will literally take you through fire and water. 

Each clue will lead you from one place to another by providing you with exact directions so you won't need a map, GPS, or guide. As you solve the problem and guess the answer, the secret story of that place is unlocked.

After you buy the quest, you'll get your access code by e-mail which will be used in the app. The tour will take you about 1.5 hours to complete, but there's no time limit which will allow you to go at your own pace. You won't need a guide, just download the app, go to the starting point, and begin the adventure.

If you are a large group, one person can purchase access for the entire group by selecting the number of people in the group. All group members will be able to play the city game on their smartphone. Alternatively, each person can purchase their own ticket.

You can play as a group and solve the clues together as you walk, or you can split into smaller groups/teams and compete against the others. Each person can also play on their own, separate from the group and meet the group at the end of the tour.

A Fascinating Peek into Toronto’s Haunted Past
I recently took The Dark Side of Old Town Toronto tour, and it was such an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and made the stories come alive with just the right mix of history and eerie local legends. I loved wandering through the hidden corners and historic streets that I probably would have overlooked on my own. The mix of ghost stories, true crime tales, and dark secrets really made me see Old Town Toronto in a whole new light. Whether you’re a history buff, a ghost story lover, or just want something unique to do in the city, I highly recommend this tour. It’s spooky but not too scary, and you’ll walk away with some fascinating stories to share. I’d definitely do it again — maybe next time I’ll bring some friends along to get spooked together!
