British to the bone, Pacific at heart — Victoria pours history and harbour views into one very walkable game.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Victoria on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Face the Parliament Buildings, illuminated by thousands of lights each night • Take tea-time trivia at the Fairmont Empress, the grande dame of the harbour • Squeeze through Fan Tan Alley, Canada's narrowest street

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size.

The capital of British Columbia requests the pleasure of your company.

What you'll do

Starting at the Steamship Terminal on Belleville Street, you'll open the Explori
al app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and set off around the Inner Harbour. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. The Parliament Buildings preside over the water, their domes outlined by more than 3,000 lights after dark. Riddles sit in session on the lawn. The Fairmont Empress follows — the ivy-clad hotel that has poured afternoon tea for royalty and movie stars for over a century. Trivia is served with proper etiquette. Then Chinatown narrows to Fan Tan Alley, barely a shoulder-width of gambling-den history turned boutique lane, and Canada's narrowest street. Around two hours from harbour to hidden alleys. The leaderboard declares the winner — politely, this is Victoria.
