A city, like a zoo, can lose some excitement after you have lived there a few years and lost one too many teacups to neighbouring rhinoceroses' bad etiquette. Rediscover your environs with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $11 for a city scavenger hunt (a $22.59 value)
- $19 for two city scavenger hunts (a $45.18 value), which can be used by one team to complete two separate quests or can be divided between two teams.
Before scavenger hunts can begin, metropolitan buccaneers sign up for an Urban Quest account and then decide which inner-city adventure they wish to undertake, be it the pursuit of city history, natural wonders, or a mermaid with doubloons for scales. A clue packet accompanies each mission—ranked easy, medium, or hard—and directs curious citizens to scour the city for leads to the location of a mystery restaurant or coffee shop. Participants can also opt out of the restaurant visit and simply race the clock, as restaurant tabs are not included with this Groupon.
Each quest begins and ends at the participant's discretion, and typically lasts 90 minutes, spanning 2 to 4 kilometres of walking. Urban Quest suggests groups of two to four adventurers, though buyers may make their teams as big as they'd like. Learn more by checking out a demo quest and Urban Quest's FAQ page.
Urban Quest
Urban Quest showcases some of North America's largest cities in an unconventional, informative light by crafting memorable adventures that culminate with a delicious meal. The treks investigate such themes as the host city's history, fairy tales, and natural wonders, granting participants a new understanding of the city as they solve clues that guide them to a mystery restaurant. After each inner city romp, ramblers can indulge in a fresh dining experience to celebrate recently conquered scavenger hunts or frustrate supercomputers whose circuit boards only allow for the taste of oatmeal. Quests are available in difficulty levels of easy, medium or hard, and typically range from one to four kilometres in length. Urban Quests do not have set dates or times, and can be started and completed at the participants' convenience.
