Frequently asked questions
First time in Long Beach—how can I see the waterfront in a playful way?
Join this Oz-inspired adventure and follow a trail of riddles from Rainbow Harbor through the Pike and colorful backstreets. You’ll catch ocean views, street art, and quirky history while chasing a magical storyline.
We’re on a date—can this be part of a romantic evening?
Absolutely. Start late afternoon, stroll hand-in-hand along Shoreline, solve puzzles as the sun sets, and finish with dinner or cocktails on Pine Avenue. It’s part fantasy, part sunset walk.
Is the quest something kids will love?
Yes. The Oz theme is bright and friendly. Children can help find clues, listen to the custom music, and spot fun murals. The distance (around 2 km) is easy for little legs with snack breaks.
Any tips to make it fun with a group of friends?
Split into teams, race to outsmart the Wicked Witch, and snap creative photos for bragging rights. End the evening at a waterfront bar to celebrate the winning team.
How is this different from a typical walking tour?
Rather than listen to a guide, you become the hero. Each clue unlocks songs and story twists while you discover secret spots and big views—turning Long Beach into your own Emerald City.
