The experience

About this quest

Follow the trail of a forgotten journal and uncover the hidden stories that shaped Redondo Beach. From grand seaside resorts and historic landmarks to fishermen, forgotten beaches, and lost treasures, this walking adventure takes you beyond the postcard views and into the city's past. 

Explore the places where Redondo's story began, discover secrets hiding in plain sight, and learn how a small coastal town transformed through time. 

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Couples on a day date and families with school-age children who enjoy puzzles get a story-led walk past the pier, Fishermans Wharf and King Harbor, learning about grand seaside resorts, fishermen and the old salt lake over 3.3 km and close to two hours. Pick something else if you want a live guide to question, or if a sunny 3.3 km on foot is too much for your group.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a good way to visit Redondo Beach for the first time?
Yes, if you want more than a plain stroll. The route covers Veterans Park, the Historical Library, the pier entrance, Fishermans Wharf, the International Boardwalk, King Harbor and Moonstone Park, with stories about resorts, fishermen and forgotten beaches, and puzzles solved in the places you visit.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Veterans Park and finishes at the Old Salt Lake Historical Marker, so it does not end where it began. In between it follows the waterfront past the pier, Fishermans Wharf, the International Boardwalk, the King Harbor Historical Plaque and Moonstone Park.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Most players take about 100 minutes, so plan for close to two hours including walking and puzzles. The route is 3.3 km. You can pause at any point and continue later, which helps if you want to stop for food on the pier.
Is it suitable for kids?
It is tagged as a family favourite and works best for school-age children who like solving puzzles in the real world. Younger children may tire over 3.3 km and nearly two hours. Bring hats, sunscreen and enough water, as the tags recommend.
Do we need to book a time or pay to play?
No booking is needed. The quest is free to play, you start whenever you like on your phone, and there is no group to join or guide to meet. Friends or family can play together at their own pace.
