Why go for just another boring walk when you can be a ghost hunter? Or solve a magically motivated murder?
Instead, turn the streets around you into a storyworld by diving into one of five Universal Adventures - interactive storytelling experiences from Story City that are playable in any city in the world, and encourage playful engagement with friends, family and real-world locations.
Will you step into the shoes of a ghost tour guide who exorcises spirits? Participate in an adventure to find a missing toy with your furry best friend? Become a detective solving the mysterious murder of a seer? Be part of a wedding party looking for their missing bride or groom? Or join a battle being waged between two secret art societies?
These Universal Adventures, currently in beta phase, are supported and funded by the Canadian Media Fund, and the Government of Canada. Find out more about them below.
Will you survive your first tour as a rookie exorcist? Welcome to the Frightnight Ghost Tours, Rookie.
I’m Fright, your virtual guide, ghost-wrangler, and hype squad for the strangest livestream of your life. On the surface, we’re just another haunted history tour, telling eerie tales while roaming the city. But behind the screen, we’re a covert crew of exorcists.
Our mission? To find spiritual energy hotspots before they spawn dangerous entities. Will you succeed on your first hunt, or will rookie mistakes let something dangerous slip through?
Start your hunt now!
