Frequently asked questions

What makes this quest different from just wandering Cherry Creek?

Because you’re part of Oz. You’ll walk ~2.1 km around downtown, solve puzzles tied to the Oz story, hear original songs, and notice spots you’ve passed before but never saw in this way. It turns Cherry Creek into a fairy-tale trail.

Could this be a great date-night idea?

Absolutely. Start near the Ross-Cherry Creek Library branch, stroll through murals and plazas, solve clues together, then finish nearby for drinks. The mix of story, sunset possibilities, and shared mystery makes for a memorable date.

Is this something teenagers or older kids will like?

Yes—they’ll enjoy the fantasy, the puzzles, and the Oz characters. With 15 clue locations and ~2,760 steps, it’s just the right amount of adventure without being overwhelming. Plus lots of photo ops!

What if I can’t finish in one go?

No problem. Because it’s self-guided, you can pause—stop for a snack, rest, take photos—and pick up right where you left off. The app remembers your progress so no rush.

Will I see well-known Denver spots or just hidden stuff?

Both. You’ll see public art, murals, library branches you know, but also subtle features—architecture details, lesser-known plazas, quiet alleys you might’ve ignored before.

Yes. The Questo app guides you between locations without a tour guide or fixed departure. Start when it suits you and pause if needed.
