About this quest

Freewheel through the streets of Greenwich Village, following in the faded tracks of the numerous artists that lived here (Barbara Streisand, Bob Dylan, Edgar Allen Poe, Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane, George Carlin and many, many more). 

Solve clues to discover the places where poets and musicians lived and performed. See where Dylan Thomas had his last drink and where Barbara Streisand first debuted.  Ready to roll?

What to Expect

This self-guided walking tour in New York City combines exploration, storytelling, and puzzle-solving into one unique experience. As you navigate through the city, you will discover 10 carefully selected locations, each revealing a piece of the story.

The entire quest takes approximately 4040 minutes to complete and covers 2.4km on foot. You will move at your own pace, with the freedom to pause whenever you want to take photos, grab a coffee, or simply soak in the atmosphere.

Each location features a challenge or puzzle that unlocks the next chapter of your story. These challenges are designed to be fun and engaging while teaching you about the history, culture, and hidden gems of New York City.

No tour guide needed – your smartphone becomes your guide. The Questo app provides directions, shares stories, and presents challenges along the way.

Highlights

  • See Washington Square Park, the epicentre of the hippie movement and the stage of the Beatnik Riot.

  • Enjoy the musical aura that radiates from Electric Lady Circus, the recording studio Jimi Hendrix set up just before his death.

  • Find yourself at The Bitter End, a venue that claims to be New York City’s oldest rock and roll club.

The mission: Your story in New York City

You’re a budding young music journalist in the final years of the 60s. You’ve bagged a job at a fashionable new magazine called Rolling Stone, but you’re yet to have your ‘big story’. 

Today might just be the day, though. Your editor has arranged for you to interview Bob Dylan. She tells you to meet him in The White Horse Tavern on Hudson Street, but he’s notoriously unreliable. You might have to go looking for him, and he doesn’t like being found. Nor does he like journalists.
