ADVENTURE GAMES AT HALLOWEEN
Vancouver Mysteries games run pretty much all year. During the Halloween season, however, the company offers special sessions which are hugely popular. What’s the difference between the games at Halloween and at other times of the year? You can win prizes! With monster and ghost themes, plus darker evenings, the games are extra fun, especially if you dress up in costume.
In October 2024 Halloween Mystery Nights runs every evening between Friday the 18th and Halloween night. With Vancouver Mystery Nights, the games are Secret Mission, Crime in Downtown Vancouver, and Ghost Patrol. Just those three. During the Halloween season (and throughout the year), however, Vancouver Mysteries also has its Heroes & Villains games with both adults’ and children’s versions.
Vancouver Mysteries is a local company that puts together various virtual and in-person adventure games. The activities involve team work, finding clues and solving creative mysteries. During the spooky season, there are special Halloween Mystery Nights games.
From October 18th to 31st in 2024, the company offers three outdoor games with extra twists. There’s Secret Mission at 6:00 pm, Crime in Downtown at 6:30 pm, and Ghost Patrol at 7:00 pm each night. Teams compete against each other for prizes, and everyone is encouraged to dress up in costumes! Tickets for each game are available online and cost about $35 per person. All three games are recommended for ages 12 and above. They’re played in teams of two to six players, meaning tickets are available in bundles of two to six.
Also especially perfect for Halloween is the game Heroes & Villains. It comes in two versions. One is for kids ages 6 and older to play with their adult friends and family members. The other is for adults and youth ages 12 and up. With these games, you have superhero powers!
See below for more details about each of the different games.

Secret Mission Description
Secret Mission is the first game offered every day during Halloween Mystery Nights. As the name of the game suggests, the story is an important mission and players get to become secret agents.
Groups of players intercept a message from BLACKOUT. The dangerous organization poses a threat to the city! During the game, teams work together to crack codes, solve clues and try to save the city from doom.
Crime in Downtown Description
Crime in Downtown is a detective-themed game by Vancouver Mysteries. Players are tasked with solving a cold case mystery in Gastown.
During this game, a fictional character is killed. Teams receive detective kits and everyone tries to solve the murder. There are clues to discover and teams are scored based on how well they are able to piece the crime together.
Ghost Patrol Description
Ghost Patrol is a fun outdoor game available in October. In fact, it’s the most difficult game offered by Vancouver Mysteries. You can play it throughout the year, but it’s especially fun during Halloween Mystery Nights.
With this game, players become paranormal investigators and explore four different hauntings around downtown Vancouver. They also learn about what Vancouver was like during the 1900s. Working in small teams, participants receive coded messages from ghosts that they need to crack.

Heroes & Villains Game Description
In 2024, Heroes & Villains isn’t one of the three games with extra activities during Halloween Mystery Nights. However, it’s still available to play throughout the season.
Heroes & Villains games are played around the Coal Harbour area of downtown Vancouver. The mission takes participants along the waterfront around the Vancouver Convention Centre and other areas nearby. Along the way, teams decipher clues and use their superhero powers to track down the evil Muck Monster villain.
Compared to Ghost Patrol, Heroes & Villains is a much easier game. All ages are welcome to participate.
