The experience

About this quest

In 'Romantic Houston: Year of Love', players embark on a heartwarming journey through the vibrant streets of Houston, retracing the footsteps of a couple celebrating a year of unforgettable moments. 

As participants navigate iconic landmarks, they're tasked with solving whimsical puzzles and uncovering hidden tokens representing love's milestones. 

From intimate secrets whispered under the canopy of the city's majestic oaks to moonlit dances by the bayou, this outdoor escape game offers both locals and tourists a fresh glimpse into Houston's romantic heart, all while fostering deeper connections with their own partners.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Couples in northwest Houston after a daytime outdoor date, and anyone heading to Kickerillo-Mischer Preserve, get a 3.4 km walk from the Education Garden past the fishing dock and canoe launch to the Lightning Tree, solving puzzles that follow a couple's year of love. Skip it if you want an evening date or a guide to talk to: it is meant for daylight and runs close to two hours.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Education Garden @ Kickerillo and finishes at the Lightning Tree, so it does not end where it began. In between you pass the Trailhead, Fishing Dock, Fire Pit, Volleyball Court, GAGA Ball Court, Canoe Launch, GPS Marker # 6 and a bench on the path.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Most players take about 1 hour 45 minutes, walking and puzzles included. The route covers around 3.4 km on foot through the preserve, so wear comfortable shoes and bring water for a walk of close to two hours.
Can we play it as an evening or night date?
It is best kept to daytime. The quest carries a recommendation not to play at night, so plan your date for daylight hours and leave enough time to finish the full route before it gets dark.
Do we need to book a time or pay to play?
No booking is needed and it is free to play. You start whenever you like on your phone, with no group to join and no guide to meet. You can also pause along the way and continue later.
Is it all outdoors?
Yes. Every stop is outside, from the garden and trailhead to the dock, courts, canoe launch and the Lightning Tree. Check the weather before you go, since there is no indoor section along the route.
