The Quest

Read It.

Use riddles displayed on your phone to explore a local area of the city.

Image of a digital quiz question with choices. The question reads: "Which direction to choose - surely there’s only one way, as you fly between two birds of prey. Hurry on, don’t be late, XV & R when the clock strikes 5:28. As you hunt around you soon will spy, what is hidden in the master’s eye." Below, two options are provided: A) Diamond, B) Pearl.

Seek It.

The answers to the riddles are often found on historical markers, signs, and statues. But Quests also get you noticing the city in new ways, so answers can be found in all sorts of places. Keep your eyes peeled!

 FAQs

  • Side Quests are designed to be more vague and challenging riddles. They will still lead you to their answer, but will require more searching and closer observation than the main Quest. You can even choose to split off from your team member(s) to cover more ground (and increase the competition levels!)

    Note - the answer to each Side Quest is no further than the next block along from where you begin it.

  • During each riddle you will be offered extra guidance three times, with increasing levels of detail.

    Don’t worry, we want you to solve it!

  • Yes, the Quest will take place using cell phones and the internet. Please ensure your battery is charged.

  • Of course! Quests require no local knowledge.
