Best done by bike or scooter

Amy_v, Jul 2025

I'd say this activity is best done by bicycle or scooter, unless you want a very long walk. The estimated time given is definitely for bicycle or scooter, not for walking time. We walked it, and it took about four hours. Lovely way to explore some neighborhoods we would not otherwise have seen as tourists, and the murals are amazing!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed discovering Ottawa’s neighborhoods and murals. You’re right—the experience does cover quite a bit of ground, and using a bike or scooter can make it more manageable. We'll review the time estimate to better reflect the walking option.

Awesome! Will take longer on foot.

Jana_M, Nov 2023

I loved it! The 80min is definitely by bike though and NOT on foot. On foot I would count on 3h or so. Because it was much longer than expected, I didn't manage to finish it on scene, but I completed it by using Google street view xD The support was really good, it is difficult to go from the support back to the game though.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the adventure. Your note about the duration being more suitable for biking is helpful for others to know. We appreciate your creativity in completing it with Google Street View. If you have any more insights or comments, feel free to share. We're here to enhance your Questo experiences!

So much fun!

A very fun way to explore the city! Plenty of art and cardio... Killing 2 birds with 1 stone :) Tip: Wear comfortable shoes.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thrilled you enjoyed the city adventure! Feel free to share more about your experience or suggest what you'd like to see in future quests. We're here to make exploration fun for you. Cheers to more adventures! 🌆🗺️

Did not work at all

Marni_B, Nov 2022

We weren't able to find the starting point to start using the game. We were using two phones and one would point us in one direction as the starting point - and the other phone would point us in the exact opposite direction as the starting point. We went to both locations, but they would direct us to turn around and go back to where we started from. Overall, a frustrating experience. Please provide actual addresses to get people started, and/or all points of interest you are wanting people to see. Glad I only wasted $13 on this game.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Hi Marni, we apologize as things didn't go well as expected rest assured that we will take a look at this and check the directions/locations for this game. Please send us a message here at care@questoapp.com and tell us more about your experience and we will also be willing to provide a refund for this, we hope to receive a message from you, thank you

In the end I paid and did nothing I went to the address indicated but there was no one. I had not seen that this activity was free, i.e. without accompanying person, which was not indicated at the beginning

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Merci pour votre retour, et désolé pour la confusion. Cette expérience est en effet un jeu d'exploration autonome, sans guide sur place. Nous allons clarifier cette information pour qu’elle soit encore plus visible avant la réservation. Si vous souhaitez l'essayer ou préférez un autre format, contactez-nous et nous serons ravis de vous aider.

Lien non fonctionnel

Hugo_M, Aug 2023

Le lien ne fonctionne pas j'ai dû acheter le parcours directement sur l'application questo donc plus facile de passer directement par l'application pour s'assurer que ça fonctionne. Sinon le parcours est bien

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Apologies for the link issue, please send us an email at care@questoapp.com with more details so that we can address them. Thanks for your understanding and feedback. Happy exploring! 🗺️🕵️‍♂️📱
