What To Expect

The Art Institute of Chicago

Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.

Crown Fountain

Designed by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa and executed by Krueck and Sexton Architects, it opened in July 2004. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.

Great to see the skyline on the bean and take pics on every angle is awesome. Little crowded when we went at 12:30pm. Maybe earlier will be less people?

Thanks for sharing your experience! We're thrilled you enjoyed the views and had a great time taking photos. The Bean does get quite popular around midday, so visiting earlier might give you a bit more space to enjoy the skyline. Hope you capture even more fantastic shots next time!

At first the quest started out good until we ran into construction areas where things were being blocked. We had to use a clue/hint reveal answer which started taking the fun out of the game. We decided to continue anyways and had a problem getting into range of the water fountain. Had to use an expand radius. There were 4 of us in the group and like to get everything correct without using "points", this made the game more difficult when one person couldn't get game reconnected since she was not able to go back to last location and not be able to reach the fountain again to restart game because she was not in radius and we weren't allowed to climb into the fountain area. So we all just left the game from there.
