What To Expect

The Art Institute of Chicago

The Art Institute of Chicago was founded as both a museum and school for the fine arts in 1879, a critical era in the history of Chicago as civic energies were devoted to rebuilding the metropolis that had been destroyed by the Great Fire of 1871. 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

Crown Fountain is an interactive work of public art and video sculpture featured in Chicago's Millennium Park, which is located in the Loop community area. 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.

Cloud Gate

Image result for Cloud Gate Chicago history Cloud Gate is British artist Anish Kapoor's first public outdoor work installed in the United States. The 110-ton elliptical sculpture is forged of a seamless series of highly polished stainless steel plates, which reflect Chicago's famous skyline and the clouds above. 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.

Millennium Monument

The Wrigley Square contains the Millennium Monument, a nearly full-sized replica of the semicircle of paired Roman Doric-style columns (called a peristyle) that originally sat in this area of Grant Park, near Michigan Avenue and Randolph Street, between 1917 and 1953. The square also contains a large lawn and a public fountain. 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.

Lurie Garden

The watery Lurie Garden site was accordingly filled (mostly with the rubble of the old city burned in the Great Fire), framed, and decked to its current elevation on the rooftop of a parking garage – awaiting the Garden that would tell the layered story buried beneath it. 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.

Clarence F. Buckingham Fountain

Buckingham Fountain is a Chicago Landmark in the center of Grant Park, and between Queen's Landing and Congress Parkway. Dedicated in 1927, it is one of the largest fountains in the world.

Directions to destination were tough to follow. Destinations and questions were good. Overall experience was average.

So much fun! Easy to follow directions and yet someone within email reach if help is needed. Not only is the game fun and creative it led us to places / landmarks we would not have experienced and learned things we otherwise would not have learned. We will try to do this in every city we visit! Highly recommend.

The game is great as far as history of Chicago. Being from out of state and not know ANYTHING about the City made it more difficult than fun.
