Seattle Gold Rush: Race to the S.S. Portland

“Fun times. It was a great combination of interesting sights, history, and riddles. I think it would be helpful to have a better idea of what the adventure distance would be. But being able to pick the pace and not feel rushed was a definite benefit.”

Last human on Earth: The Helsingborg Case

“We had a great time solving puzzles and finding places! Riddles were a wonderful idea :D. It felt like we also were here for nine years:) But some of the key objects weren't there, moved or replaced by another (a binocular, a bench for example). But still it was an awesome experience!”

A taste of the challenge
01 / Word riddle

Name the creature.

I’m a majestic beast, swift and bold,
In fields of green, my tale unfolds.

A noble creature, with hooves that prance,
A symbol of freedom in every glance.

I can move swiftly, by day or night,
Chasing the wind, my spirit takes flight.

Though I may be pure, like snow, of course,
Can you guess what I am with my grace and force?
