CHURCH STREET CAPER

Walk in the footsteps of scandalous public officials, pioneers of the 1790s and the 1970s, artists, dancers, gambling kingpins, hockey legends, and of course queens and riot grrls. Find hidden places, secret stories, and maybe even a ghost or two on this exciting scavenger hunt through old Molly Wood’s Bush… and most outrageous and unbelievable of all, the place where the Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup – 11 times.

On an Urban Capers Scavenger Hunt, you are collecting answers to tricky questions rather than physical objects. Teams of two to six people compete over the course of two hours. The questions take you all over the neighbourhood, so bring out your running shoes.

Tickets are $55.00 + HST per person for everything your group will need to enjoy the hunt.
