Montréal: Ville d'espions, Canada

GHOST has operatives all over Montreal. One of them might be on your team. HQ suggests you find out which. In plain terms: your team explores on foot and takes on spy missions together. Most city activities are about the sights; this one is about the people you play with. Specifically, watching them try to act casual in public. You will decode messages, photograph evidence, and keep a straight face in public. No experience needed. There may or may not be a double agent on your team. About 2.5 hours, 4 stops and roughly 1.9 km on foot. There is no guide, so nobody will make you stand still and listen. Somewhere, HQ is filing your mission report under 'surprisingly competent'. You take home the photos to prove it. Who it's for: - Friends, couples and families with teens: finally, a day out with more to talk about than where to eat. - Solo travelers and anyone new in town: join an open session and team up with other players. You arrive alone and leave with a team, which is more than most networking events manage. - Private groups: bachelor and bachelorette parties, girls' weekends, boys' trips, wedding parties, work teams and active over-55s. Pick the day; we will handle the intrigue. Book a private game for 1 to 8 players on a date you choose; a team of one works too. Prefer company? Join the open session every Sunday at 3pm to team up with other players. If nobody else books it, we let you know in advance so you can play solo or move to another date. Bigger groups play as several private teams. What to expect Turn up at Place d'Armes by your departure time. Meet at the Monument à Maisonneuve. Your mission starts on your phones there and leads your team to 4 stops over about 1.9 km on foot, finishing at the last stop about 2.5 hours later. Only the meeting point is shared in advance; the rest is revealed as you play. - Bring a charged phone for each player, with mobile data; a power bank helps - About 1.9 km of walking; wear comfortable shoes - Outdoors in typical weather; if conditions turn unsafe, we reschedule you or refund you - The challenges suit teens and adults; younger players are welcome with grown-ups on the team - The walk between stops follows step-free mapped paths, and no stop is marked as inaccessible. Kerbs and paving are not checked on the ground, so contact us if you need full step-free access.
