Haunted Toronto

From the mass graveyard at Yorkville to the insane asylum which now houses our esteemed members of parliament, to the residences of some of this country’s founding fathers (some of whom are still hanging around), you will seek answers to tricky trivia questions while uncovering the spicier side of old Toronto.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

How it Works: If you have never been on an Urban Capers scavenger hunt before, participants split into teams of 2-6 and are given hunt materials: clue book, map, and an answer sheet. Teams spread out over a set route and seek out locations, finding an answer at each. The team with the most correct answers at the end, wins. The Haunted Toronto scavenger hunt takes place entirely outdoors.

Meeting place: The benches in front of the main entrance to the Royal Conservatory of Music on Bloor Street West. Look for the Urban Capers representatives carrying clipboards, clue books, and handing out pencils.

And a tip….

Bonus points are given for the most creative and clever team name, so get your thinking caps on!

Practical Details

Hunts take two hours, with some additional time beforehand for waiver-signing and instructions and afterwards for tallying the scores, for a total of 2 1/2 hours. Please make sure to wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. You will be outdoors and moving around, so plan ahead!

FAQs

Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?

Haunted Toronto is designed for adults and contains a wee bit of adult content. Some of the clues and references will be over kids’ heads and they can get frustrated. Participants as young as 8 have taken part with their parents and had a great time so at the end of the day, it is up to the parent.

Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?

If you would like to get in touch, please contact our customer service team at info@urbancapers.com or 647 852-6444.

I want to make sure I am on a team with my friends – how do I do this?

The order form has a field to enter your friends’ names so we know who you are playing with. Groups of friends can change the team breakdown right up until the game starts.

Another friend wants to join our team but the event is sold out. What can we do?

We’ll do our best to accommodate extra players on existing teams once the event has sold out. Ask your friend to add themselves to the waitlist and inform our customer service team at info@urbancapers.com or 647-852-6444 of which player(s) they’d like to join.

It is my birthday and I think I’ll have about 8, 10, 12 people coming. Can you reserve tickets for my group?

First off, happy birthday! Sorry we can’t reserve tickets. Plan your event well in advance and you’ll have no problem, and if one or two people want to jump in at the last minute, we’ll do everything in our power to accommodate them.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

No, there will be a sign-in sheet for those registered.

Is my ticket transferrable?

Yes, absolutely. If someone comes in your place, they do need to print and bring the ticket.

What is the refund policy?

Once you have purchased a ticket for an event, our people go into action, printing off materials, lining up staff for the event day and purchasing admission tickets if a museum or other institution is involved. Because of this, we do not offer refunds. However, your ticket is transferrable. So if you can’t make it, you can give your ticket to someone else to bring to the event.
