Urban Adventure Quest has created an interactive scavenger hunt that combines the fun of the Amazing Race with a three-hour sightseeing tour of Portland. Players use any smart phone as a guide as they make their way among both popular and overlooked gems of the city, solving clues and completing challenges while learning local history. The adventure begins in the heart of downtown at Pioneer Courthouse Square and requires approximately 2.4 miles of walking. You’ll roam the Arts district to Powell’s bookstore and Voodoo Doughnuts and tons of fascinating stops in between. You are able to start whenever you want want from sunrise to sunset and you get to determine your own pace of play. Who doesn’t want to turn their city into a giant game board?
