With each clue solved, scavenger hunt participants will be entered into a contest for a grand prize weekend getaway in Toronto while their involvement also helps support a charitable donation of up to $13,000 to the Community Music Schools of Toronto.

“As Swifties solve song clues, they will also discover iconic city landmarks, cultural attractions, urban green spaces and more,” said Destination Toronto CEO and President Andrew Weir said in a statement. “When fans truly explore our city, more communities and businesses benefit from that visitor spending.”
