Chase the legendary Oppenheimer Stash, a forgotten hoard from the Gold Rush era, through the historic streets of Gastown in this self-guided exploration game. Guided only by an old letter, your wits and a mysterious picture frame that reveals glimpses of the past, follow the clues from the Marine Building past Waterfront Station and the Steam Clock to the Sam Kee Building and the site of Gassy Jack's saloon.
Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 4 km and takes around 1.5 hours, with no time limit.
