Halifax Scavenger Hunt: 3Quest Challenge City Adventure

Summary

Interactive Halifax City Game: Riddles, Quests & Points

You’ll solve riddles, race against time (if you want), and see Halifax in a way that’s anything but ordinary. Perfect if you like games or just want to explore with friends or family—no local knowledge needed.

What’s the experience like?

Rain or shine, we kicked off our Halifax scavenger hunt right by the waterfront—just a few blocks from the old clock tower. The air smelled faintly of salty sea and coffee from a nearby café (I think it was Weird Harbour). Our phones buzzed with the first riddle, and honestly, it took us a minute to figure out which statue it meant. The app kept things moving, nudging us toward quirky corners I’d never noticed before—even though I’ve walked Barrington Street dozens of times.

Our remote host checked in through the chat, tossing us hints when we got stuck (which happened more than once). Each quest had its own vibe—one sent us searching for something blue near the Citadel, another dared us to snap a silly team photo in front of an old mural. We kept an eye on the leaderboard; turns out there were teams playing in other cities at the same time! Two hours flew by fast, but nobody rushed us if we wanted to keep exploring. It felt like a friendly competition mixed with a walking tour—except you’re the one making discoveries.
