Play a city game and discover local stories and mysterious places in Toronto. Learn the secrets lurking behind local landmarks and let yourself be immersed in the dark past of the city. Unravel a supernatural mystery that will literally take you through fire and water.

Each clue will lead you from one place to another by providing you with exact directions so you won't need a map, GPS, or guide. As you solve the problem and guess the answer, the secret story of that place is unlocked.

Storyline:

You’ve lived in Toronto your whole life and know the city inside out. Today, however, during your afternoon stroll, the inexplicable happens.

The world around you freezes for a second, and when it starts moving again, all the colors are scrambled. It looks like you’re stuck in a negative photograph of the world.

As you rub your eyes in disbelief, a sharp object flies by your ear and almost cuts it off. You decide to take shelter and hurry home, but will you ever make it out of the darkroom?
