Toronto Ghost Hunt: Dark History Self-Guided Game
Overview
Explore the dark side of Old Town Toronto in this self-guided outdoor game powered by the free Questo app.
Download, head to Nathan Phillips Square, and start anytime, no guide, no schedule, no waiting.
The city you know is not the city you'll find here. This 10-stop, ~75-minute walking game covers 3 km through Toronto's historic core, unravelling real stories hidden in plain sight: 710 public hangings beneath the King Edward Hotel, 118 lives lost on a burning cruise ship, a ghost haunting the Hockey Hall of Fame, and the shocking laws that imprisoned women for being "incorrigible."
At each landmark, a puzzle challenge unlocks the next chapter. You'll move through Old City Hall, the TD Centre, Fairmont Royal York, St. James Cathedral, and St. Lawrence Market, each one with a story that Toronto's official history skips over.
Solve the puzzles, follow the clues, and discover why Old Town Toronto is far stranger, and darker than it looks. Suitable for ages 14+, no experience needed.
