No scheduling needed—you can play any day of the week, all day long. Just download the Questo app, purchase the game, head to the starting point at MODA, and begin whenever you're ready.

Typically, expect to spend around 2.4 kilometers, which is about 3,150 steps, as you move through 12 locations. The time varies depending on how quickly you unfold clues and solve puzzles—but expect a dynamic adventure rather than a few minutes of gameplay.
Do I need special tools or equipment?
Just the Questo app and your device—and maybe a pen and paper to jot down clues. Everything else happens outdoors, with the city as your canvas.
