Vancouver Mysteries

Our Experience Managers are here at Mystery Headquarters ready to help you 7 days a week from 9AM to 9PM. We can help pick the right game for you, answer your questions, provide a quote, and book you in. We have brought our activities to corporate events, corporate team building, meetings, birthdays, bachelorette parties, family reunions and house parties. We have helped set up surprise birthday games, wedding proposals, custom endings at bars, mystery dates and more. Operating since 2014, Vancouver Mysteries is an award-winning and top-rated local business (Best of Vancouver 2023 - Best Adventure Tour Co., Greater Vancouver Board of Trade Business Distinction Awards 2022 - Digital Transformation. \

Our portable games include a classic murder mystery game (we even bring you the costumes!) for 6 to 12 players, a trivia game show for 2 to 200 contestants, a party game for 5 to 100 players and a murder mystery with escape room style challenges for 2 to 50 players.

All of our portable games can also be played online in a Zoom room, a perfect team building activity for remote workers or a hybrid team, or a fun way to get friends and family together from all over the world.

Our outdoor games in downtown Vancouver are REAL fun (no apps to download or screentime, but hands-on clues, maps etc) and pet friendly (please give us a heads up if you are brining any furry friends!). We can accommodate up to 192 players in downtown Vancouver. We also have an outdoor mystery game for groups with kids for 2 to 40 players (fun for ages 6 and up and up to 2 kids under the age of 6 can join any team for free). We are a unique way to see the city and our outdoor games are only available here in Vancouver, you can’t play them anywhere else. Discover Vancouver’s downtown history, landmarks and architecture, while you collect clues and use your game kit to solve a mystery. Locals and visitors equally enjoy competing in teams for the top score. No need to charter a bus, our games take place in downtown Vancouver close to the skytrain with lots of options for drinks or dinner after the game. We can hand out prizes, come to your work or hotel, and more. We also have small private games available every half hour, seven days a week for smaller groups or last minute activities.

We are a locally owned business run by Vancouverites. We love this city! We acknowledge that our games take place on the traditional, unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples – sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) nations. At Vancouver Mysteries, our mission is to provide a consistent 5 star fun experience to every player while also breaking from stereotypes in the mystery genre and respecting the communities where our games take place. Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion means we operate by a policy of acceptance and respect for all. It is what we require from our team, our promotional partners and our customers.

Trivia: We can bring our own projector and sound system to the venue or connect to your project or large screen with HDMI.
