Frequently asked questions

I only have an afternoon—how can I explore downtown Minneapolis in a fun way?

Play this Oz-themed game and turn Nicollet Mall, Mill Ruins Park, and hidden alleys into a live puzzle board. In about 90 minutes you’ll see iconic spots and secret art corners while following a playful story.

We’re on a weekend getaway—any creative date ideas beyond breweries?

Yes. Start near the Mississippi riverfront at sunset and follow magical clues through cobblestone streets. Pause for dessert in the North Loop or a cocktail at a rooftop bar as you “save Oz” together.

Our kids love fantasy—will they like this?

Definitely. The quest mixes fairy-tale characters and gentle riddles. You can slow down for snack stops, let them take photos at murals, and keep them busy spotting colorful details without the rush of a group tour.

What’s a cool team-building or friends’ night idea in Minneapolis?

Split into detective teams and race the clock. Add side challenges—best Oz-themed selfie or fastest clue cracked. Downtown’s open squares and lively cafés keep the energy high.

Can we take breaks for food or shopping mid-quest?

Yes. The app saves your place, so grab a pastry at a Nicollet café or browse a North Loop boutique, then pick up right where you left off.
