Corporate scavenger hunt in Chicago

Teams race the same route through Chicago, solving clues at every stop and watching the leaderboard. The 20 routes below can all be booked today; pick one and it goes into the booking box.

In Chicago, the safe first choice is the Eastside Chicago Art Heist, the most reviewed route, which starts at The Art Institute of Chicago and takes 95 minutes over 3.4 km. For a lunch break or a first outing, Quest for the Dragon Kings in Chinatown is shorter, at 63 minutes and 2.8 km from Chinatown Square Plaza. A competitive team should take the Death in the Shadows murder mystery in Lincoln Park, from the DePaul University School of Music. After work, Ghosts of Chicago leaves from the Chicago History Museum and takes 80 minutes. A big group can split between it and Ghost Hunt in Chicago, which starts a short walk away, and meet up after.

How the afternoon runs

There is nothing to organise on the day in Chicago: the app runs the game, keeps the score and shows who won.

  1. Meet at the start point

    Every route starts at a set place, shown on its page. No venue to book.

  2. Split into teams in the app

    Everyone opens the free Questo app and the teams are chosen there.

  3. 60 to 90 minutes of play

    Teams race the same route, team against team, solving clues at real places.

  4. Finish together

    Everyone ends at the same place and sees the leaderboard: one team takes the win.

What organisers ask us

  • How colleagues join

    Everyone installs the free Questo app on iOS or Android. The teams are chosen in the app.

  • Staggered starts

    Teams can start a few minutes apart, so they do not follow each other, and still finish at the same place.

  • If it rains

    Access never expires. Play another day.

  • Languages

    Each route has its own languages. Check them on the route page before you book.

  • Pace and accessibility

    You set the pace and can pause the game at any time.

  • Bring a charged phone

    The game runs on the phone for the whole route, so start with a full battery.

This was really awesome. We enjoyed ourselves. It was fun and it gave us great exercise and it was nice to get the opportunity to solve some things together and work together.
MzMurder Mystery: Death in the Shadows in Lincoln Park, Chicago★★★★★
Great experience, thanks. Would be helpful to retract tab to see map better, to show my location on the map, and to skip through a table of contents.
