The experience

About this quest

The Virginia Theological Seminary is a treasure trove of history and uniqueness all on its 88 acres of lush landscape, which awaits those who might have heard of it, but have yet to discover. While you embark on a little journey, enjoy this escapade to a few of the many "must see" sights on our campus. We are hopeful for an experience that will inspire you to return for many years to come.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Prospective students, alumni, Episcopal church members, and visiting families or couples can see the seminary's main sights at their own pace in about an hour, from Immanuel Chapel and its garden to the Graffiti Wall and the Addison Academic Center. It is a short 0.8 km loop on campus, free to play. If you would rather have a staff member answering questions about admissions or seminary life as you walk, choose an official visit instead.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the campus walk start and finish?
It starts at The Welcome Center and is a loop route around the campus. The stops in order are Immanuel Chapel, the Chapel Garden, the Graffiti Wall, the opposite end of the Chapel Garden, and the Addison Academic Center. The final stop is the Addison Academic Center External Corridor.
How long does it take?
Most players take about an hour, including walking and the puzzles along the way. The route is short, around 0.8 km, so the pace is relaxed and there is time to look closely at each stop.
Is it good for kids?
Yes, it is marked as family friendly. The distance is short and each puzzle is based on what is in front of you at the stop. Children old enough to read clues, or who can work through them with an adult, tend to get the most out of it.
Do we need to book a time or pay?
No. It is free to play and there is no set start time, no group to join and no guide. You start on your phone whenever you arrive at The Welcome Center and follow the app from stop to stop.
Can we pause and continue later?
Yes, you can pause the game and pick it up again later. Because it runs on your phone, make sure it is fully charged before you set out, or bring a power bank so the battery lasts the whole walk.
