She wants to defect to Canada, and she wants to expose a Communist spy ring while she’s at it. You’re the aide to the Prime Minister who takes the call. Can you help the defector avoid Soviet agents? Will you make sure the documents get to the Prime Minister? Who can you trust? Who will believe you?

This exciting 45-minute tour of downtown Ottawa will have players visiting public buildings they’ve likely never been to before, looking for details they’ve never noticed. They’ll deliver messages to codebreakers, put top-secret papers into the right hands, help a defector reach safety, and expose a spy ring that could topple an MP’s career.

Based loosely on the Gouzenko Affair, the tour asks players to listen to audio, find secret messages, deliver them to a decoder, obtain virtual objects, answer questions, and enter a variety of buildings in Ottawa’s downtown core (mostly along Wellington Street) to answer questions and obtain clues.
