Toronto Soccer City Hunt: Self-Guided World Cup Puzzle Walk

A self-guided Toronto puzzle walk with World Cup energy, iconic landmarks, and fun challenges through downtown and the waterfront.
About this Event

Bring World Cup excitement into the heart of Toronto with our self-guided Soccer City Hunt, an outdoor puzzle adventure that turns downtown streets into your game board. Starting near Union Station, you will follow clues hidden in plain sight, solve quick challenges on your phone, and unlock each new checkpoint as you explore the city. Along the route, you will pass major Toronto landmarks including Scotiabank Arena, the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, and Queen’s Quay Terminal on the harborfront.

We designed this experience to feel like an outdoor escape room mixed with a city walk. The challenge level is easy to medium, the route is about 1.6 km, and most players finish in about 55 minutes. Along the way, you will get a mix of soccer-themed fun, World Cup references, local stories, and a photo-friendly finish with Toronto’s skyline in view. Hints are available in the app whenever you need them.
