Turn your smartphone into a time machine and explore Vancouver’s North Shore in a whole new way! Created by North Van Arts, the North Shore Culture Quest is a free, interactive scavenger hunt app designed to gamify local exploration.

Perfect for families, history buffs, and curious locals, the app guides you through neighborhood-specific quests across Lower Lonsdale, The Shipyards, Deep Cove, Ambleside, and beyond. Follow the clues, solve puzzles, and test your eye with “Match the Photo” challenges where you line up historic archival photos with modern-day streetscapes. Along the way, you’ll unlock secret code words, earn digital achievements, and discover hidden public art, museums, and natural heritage sites right in your backyard
