Frequently asked questions
What’s the story we’re walking into?
You wake up in downtown Atlanta with zero memory. No name, no clue. Just the city calling out. You follow hints from landmarks, hidden pockets, history on the walls — all to piece together who you are.
Is this a date idea? Something romantic?
Yes, it works well. Solving clues together, exploring downtown at that in-between light, stopping at cool spots — all that makes for a memorable, slightly mysterious date.
Can families or kids join? Is it kid friendly?
Yes, with older kids. Under 12 kids should go with a parent. The story has intrigue and mystery but isn’t super scary. Daylight start helps.
Do we need a guide or special booking?
Nah. You start it on your phone whenever you want — it’s self-guided. Just choose the quest, get started, and let Atlanta lead you.
Will locals still find something new?
Definitely. Even if you’ve lived in or visited Atlanta many times, there are hidden stories, corners, small details in buildings or facades people don’t usually notice. This quest makes you look.
How is this different from just walking around downtown Atlanta?
Because you’re following a story. You’re solving puzzles. You’re looking for clues, not just checking off sights. It turns a casual walk into a mini-identity mystery.
Is Highlights of Downtown Atlanta: Between Past and Present self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you between locations without a tour guide or fixed departure. Start when it suits you and pause if needed.
