That was a great adventure on a nice cool evening. I definitely got to see some new places and art I've never seen in the city. Can't wait for our next mission.

About Detroit

In Detroit, Questo turns a walk through the United States into a self-guided city game. Pick one of 15 active Questo quests, follow clues on your phone, solve puzzles, and unlock a story as you move from stop to stop. There is no guide to meet and no fixed start time, so you can begin when the day works for you. Detroit works well for travelers who want more than a checklist of sights. Each quest gives you a route, a reason to look closer, and small challenges that make the city feel interactive. Use the game as a playful way to plan time around local places such as Joe Louis Memorial, Chrysler Imax Dome Theatre At the Michigan Science Center, and the Spirit of Detroit. It suits couples, families, groups of friends, and solo explorers who like flexible outdoor activities. Choose several story routes, pause whenever you want, and turn time in Detroit into a walk with a plot.
