About this quest

Discover the lesser-known history of Pittsburgh by visiting globally renowned landmarks and treasured local gems. 

Visit the bridge which hosts Picklesburgh, one of America’s biggest specialty food festivals. See the glass towers built atop one of Pittsburgh’s oldest settlements. 

Learn about the Steel City’s deep ties to war, and how the community used parks and greenery to overcome economic decay. 
 
Are you ready to see Downtown Pittsburgh in a whole new light? 

Highlights

  • Explore the park that city officials built instead of a Frank Lloyd Wright megastructure

  • Step beneath the clock that residents have long challenged each other to kiss their butts under

  • Let the benches watch you at what’s been locally dubbed: “Eyeball Park”

The mission: Your story in Pittsburgh

You play as a groggy butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, excited to escape the city in an upcoming migration.

But you missed it, and worse yet, you see mysterious, transparent buildings and people glitching in and out of existence on top of the park you call home, getting realer and realer the longer you watch.

Flutter around downtown to figure out what’s happening and save the Steel City from chaos, and feel the delicate strands connecting every era of Pittsburgh along the way.

The quest was good. It took us to new stops along the way and always integrated the environment into the clues. The only part we had an issue with was the Roberto Clemente Bridge stop.
