About this quest

Embark on a heartfelt mission in Hoboken to find a little boy's lost cat. As you traverse the scenic waterfront and Stevens Tech campus, you'll solve puzzles, uncover Hoboken's secrets, and enjoy breathtaking views. 

This quest isn't just about exploration; it's a race against time to bring joy back to a young heart. Join the adventure, learn, play, and help reunite a boy with his cherished companion. 

Will you be the hero they need?

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Families with primary-school children, local couples and visitors after a scenic Hudson walk follow the search for a boy's lost cat from Pier A Park past Sybil's Cave to Castle Point Lookout, with Manhattan views along the way. Plan on about two and a half hours over 4.7 km, mostly outdoors, so anyone wanting a short stroll, an indoor outing or a guide to ask questions should choose something else.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the lost cat story take place?
It is set in Hoboken, along the Hudson waterfront and through the Stevens campus. The search takes you past Pier C Park, Sinatra Park Pier, Sybil's Cave, Maxwell Place Park, the Hoboken Historical Museum, Elysian Park, Castle Point Lookout and DeBaun Hall, among other stops.
Where does the walk start and finish?
You start at the Hoboken 9/11 Memorial at Pier A Park. The route is a loop, finishing on Hudson Street after heading north along the waterfront and then up through the Stevens campus, so you end up back near where you began.
How long does it take and how far is it?
Most players take about two and a half hours, including walking time and solving the puzzles at each stop. The route covers 4.7 km. You can pause at any point and continue later, so there is no need to finish it in one go.
Is it good for kids?
Yes, it suits families with primary-school children. The story of helping a young boy find his cat gives children a reason to keep going, and the puzzles are based on what you see at each stop. Bear in mind the 4.7 km distance for younger legs.
Do we need to book a time or pay to play as a group?
No booking is needed. It is free to play, so friends or family can join in together. Start whenever you like on your phone, with no guide and no group to meet, and pause whenever you want a break.
