Missions include taking a photo of a favourite downtown business window display, uploading a receipt from a downtown date night, finding the downtown Elf on the Shelf, and many more interactive activities.

Ted Emond. “Downtown Orillia, especially during the holiday season, is a truly wonderful place, full of unique businesses with countless experiences that can be showcased through this exciting initiative.”

The City has been working alongside the DOMB and multiple downtown businesses to create interactive missions that are fun for all ages. The Goosechase game runs from Nov. 19 to Dec. 31, 2022 and allows participants the chance to win six weekly prizes, each worth $300, and one grand prize worth $1,000.
