Seattle: Historical Downtown Exploration Game

Overview

Go on a walking tour of Seattle where you will play a city game following clues and solving puzzles to find out historic information about Seattle and the events around the Klondike Gold Rush. You’ll also learn about Seattle Underground and the Great Seattle Fire, while touring many of the historic locations in downtown Seattle.

Each clue will lead you from one place to another by providing you with exact directions so you won't need a map, GPS, or guide. As you answer the questions, solve the challenge, or guess the answer, the secret story of each place is unlocked.

The city game will take you about 1.5 hours to complete, but there’s no time limit which will allow you to go at your own pace.

What To Expect

Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park

Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park is a national historical park operated by the National Park Service that seeks to commemorate the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s. 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.

Occidental Park

The park's totem poles and woodcarvings are by Duane Pasco (1970s). They were donated by art gallery owner Richard White and installed in the 1980's. "The tallest totem, Sun and Raven, tells the story of Raven's theft of the moon and was created for the 1974 Spokane World's Fair. The nearby Man Riding on Tail of Whale was carved in 1971. The westernmost of the two facing figures is Tsonoqua, a mythological giantess and 'nightmare bringer' invoked by exasperated North Coast mothers to frighten their children into obedience. 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.

Pioneer Square

Art galleries, coffee shops and trendy bars fill Pioneer Square’s late-1800s Romanesque Revival buildings. Tourists explore subterranean streets on the guided Underground Tour, and learn about Seattle’s roots at the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. Office workers unwind in secluded Waterfall Garden Park or grab lunch from food trucks at Occidental Square, a plaza with bistro tables and bocce courts. 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.

Smith Tower Visitor Experience

Smith Tower is a skyscraper in the Pioneer Square neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, United States. Completed in 1914, the 38-story, 484 ft tower is the oldest skyscraper in the city and was among the tallest skyscrapers outside New York City at the time of its completion.

Federal Office Building

Constructed in 1933, the Seattle Federal Office Building (FOB) was the first building in Seattle specifically designed for offices of the federal government. The designer of record was James A. Wetmore, the Department of the Treasury's Supervising Architect. Among its first tenants were 52 federal agencies, the largest of which was the Department of the Treasury. 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.

Seattle Art Museum

SAM traces its origins to the Seattle Fine Arts Society (organized 1905) and the Washington Arts Association (organized 1906), which merged in 1917, keeping the Fine Arts Society name. In 1931 the group renamed itself as the Art Institute of Seattle. The Art Institute housed its collection in Henry House, the former home, on Capitol Hill, of the collector and founder of the Henry Art Gallery, Horace C. Henry (1844–1928). 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.

Pike Place Market

Pike Place Market is a special community within the heart of Seattle’s downtown. More than the city’s beloved public market, Pike Place Market is a vibrant neighborhood comprised of hundreds of farmers, craftspeople, small businesses and residents. Each group is an important and vital makeup of the Pike Place Neighborhood. In addition to preserving and protecting the historic buildings and character of the nine-acre historic district and serving as an incubator and supporter of farmers, artisans and small businesses, the Pike Place Market was chartered by the City of Seattle to provide services for low-income individuals. 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.

Victor Steinbrueck Park

Victor Steinbrueck Park is located at the north end of Pike Place Market. On a summer afternoon, the park bustles with a lively combination of neighborhood residents, visitors, tourists, and people who work in the area - all enjoying picnics, sunbathing, playing and relaxing on the park's lawn, benches, and tables. 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.

We had a blast! It was fun finding the clues and walking through the city. We learned some interesting facts about Seattle’s history during the early years. We had a few glitches initially but seemed more user error. I would recommend this walking tour.

It was horrible and a waste of my money. There were other fees to be paid so that you could play the game (purchase gems; $19.99) that was not disclosed before booking. Then the app did not take me to any of the destinations but rather walked me around the block which I could have done on my own without having paid for this “guided tour”. It’s the worst and a scam. I’d like ALL of my money back

Hi, Kim. First, sorry to read you didn't enjoy the game. I checked your booking, and I saw that you didn't follow the post-purchase intstructions to unlock the game. As such, you were asked to buy the game from the app too. Now, since we don't want you to double spend, we already processed a refund. As for the rest of your game, sorry again to see you didn't enjoy the game. Hope you'll play another one soon that will change your mind about Questo. Thank you!
