There are much better scavenger hunts out there!
This is very poorly maintained. We couldn't finish because of missing/unreachable clues. DO NOT RECOMMEND! When we arrived at the first stop, they didn't have lanyards for us. Not a huge deal. We set out to continue our hunt. When we got to the parking lot, we searched & searched for the clue that was supposed to be on the fence. We never found it. We finally checked the hints & compared the picture on the hints to where this box should have been. It's not there, it's been removed. This was a letdown, we had spent a lot of time circling this lot. A few in our bunch were getting tired of it. We continued on to the 'bench with no seat' along the water. The bench has barbed wire in front of it, so they are not easy to investigate. We had to go up and around the fence, carefully make our way down the steep hill to see the back of the bench. This also required a fair bit of time. This really discouraged the rest of the group & we didn't make it much farther before we called it & quit. It seems like nobody is monitoring this event & checking to make sure things are still there & accessible. I have tried to reach out to customer support MANY times for the tefund they promised & they just keep telling me it's still coming. It's been 5 months now.

Engaging Family Activity - recommend to check it out!
If you are looking for something to do in a sunny afternoon (or morning), I highly recommend Foxtrail! I’ve been living in Vancouver for more than 20 years and I enjoyed discovering the city with this activity in COMPASS trail. It was fun, creative, a great combination of physical clues, puzzles and AR in the app. It is suitable for the whole family. I can’t wait to try the other trail (more advanced) soon!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your kind words about Foxtrail Compass! They will go a long way! We are deligted that you enjoyed this outdoor experience.

A healthy amount of fun and challenges
A fun team building experience - full of brain teasers and fun! Well organized. Explored parts of downtown I never knew existed!
Response from the operator: We are very happy that you liked it! The fox is really sneaky and goes to places that have never been seen before :)

Rediscovering our backyard
We didn't expect the weather to be like that but it made the experience truly amazing. Congrats to the team behind this. The trail led us through parts of the city we thought we knew well. The toolkit was really cool. So many surprises. Well done.
Response from the operator: It means a lot to the whole team! You will explore new corners of this beautiful city.That is one of the great surprises of Trail COMPASS! Thank you so much.

Best activity to explore Vancouver
Exciting to finally have Foxtrail in Vancouver. I did this trail with friends and we all had lots of fun. We explored interesting places we have never seen before. The whole trail is very interactive and engaging. The riddles are quite challenging at times which we absolutely loved. Can't wait to do the other trail.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your feedback. We are thrilled to having built 2 trails for locals and tourists to play them while having lots of fun! Looking forward to having you on Trail Amphibious!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Foxtrail Scavenger Hunt - Compass Trail Vancouver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vancouver.
How much does Foxtrail Scavenger Hunt - Compass Trail Vancouver cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vancouver usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Foxtrail Scavenger Hunt - Compass Trail Vancouver take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vancouver is not rushed.
Is Foxtrail Scavenger Hunt - Compass Trail Vancouver worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Vancouver, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Foxtrail Scavenger Hunt - Compass Trail Vancouver?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Foxtrail Scavenger Hunt - Compass Trail Vancouver suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Foxtrail Scavenger Hunt - Compass Trail Vancouver?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vancouver can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vancouver and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Foxtrail Scavenger Hunt - Compass Trail Vancouver start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vancouver within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vancouver?
+
On Outty we rank every Vancouver experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Grand Bicycle Tour of Vancouver, The Stanley Park Bicycle Tour, Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Capilano Suspension Bridge & Vancouver Lookout. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vancouver?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vancouver?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Foxtrail Scavenger Hunt - Compass Trail Vancouver?
+
Included: Foxtrail equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Foxtrail Scavenger Hunt - Compass Trail Vancouver?
+
1) Forward the e-mail you received from VIATOR. We will send you the game code. 2) Download the Foxtrail App. 3) Go to starting location. 4) At the starting location. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Foxtrail Scavenger Hunt - Compass Trail Vancouver offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Foxtrail Scavenger Hunt - Compass Trail Vancouver?
