Simon the Freemason — the architect who encoded Manitoba
« We build for eternity, according to the rules of the Royal Art. »— Frank Worthington Simon, architect and Grand Master (1914)
The Masonic Temple of Power
The Manitoba Legislative Building, inaugurated in 1920, hides one of Canada's most fascinating architectural mysteries. Its designer, Frank Worthington Simon, a prominent member of Winnipeg's Freemasonry, integrated a complex system of esoteric symbols. The Egyptian Sphinx at the summit, the Doric columns, the sacred proportions of the golden ratio — each element follows millennial Masonic geometry.
This symbolism doesn't stop at the building itself. Simon designed an entire urban network according to Royal Art principles: Parliament's axis points toward The Forks, that sacred crossroads where First Nations traded for 6000 years. Winnipeg's Freemasons saw in this ancestral place a natural temple, a telluric convergence they wanted to honor through their architecture. Today still, initiates come to decrypt the messages carved in stone.

Same spirit: search, deduce, find. But here the "treasure" is a full story to piece together in eight stops. Each stop gives you a fragment of the final code. Eight fragments later, you've cracked it.
Q02How many stops are in Downtown Winnipeg — Decode the Masonic Conspiracy?
Eight stops total. At each stop you find a camera clue, solve the puzzle, collect a fragment of the final code. With all eight, you've got the answer.
Q03Is Downtown Winnipeg — Decode the Masonic Conspiracy suitable for a challenge-seeking teen?
Absolutely. The puzzles aren't obvious — a curious teen will sweat just enough to be proud of cracking them. Progressive hints prevent frustration: if stuck, unlock hint level 1, then 2, then 3.

Three hint levels per puzzle, with a small increasing time penalty. If truly stuck after level 3, you can skip the step (45-min penalty). The point: nobody stays blocked and goes home frustrated.
