Self Guided Ghost Tour Washington DC Mall

Despre activitate

This is a self-guided exploration game where you'll be hunting ghosts along the National Mall, with the Questo app as your case book. Each of the 13 stops hides a spirit with a real connection to the place: a scholar who still sits in the Library of Congress reading room, a Supreme Court justice who keeps court in session, a bride who never made it to her 1868 wedding, and Amelia Earhart beside the planes she knew.

At every stop you'll get a question that can only be answered by looking around you: a mosaic above a staircase, a bronze dancer outside a museum, a giant rabbit with a drum, the stones of the Washington Monument.

It takes about 2 hours and 2.7 miles of walking, with unlimited breaks. Most stops are inside free museums, so play it between 10 am and 5 pm.

Hints and 24-7 support available if you get stuck.

The stories stay light, no jump scares, so it works for families and students too. A good Halloween activity in daylight, and a good one any other day of the year.

Itinerar

  1. Library of Congress

    14 min

    You'll start inside the Thomas Jefferson Building, where the app introduces Ripley Bates, the ghost hunter whose notes you'll follow, and hands you the first question in the main reading room. You'll answer it from what you see around you, then climb to the Minerva mosaic on the upper floor for a second one. You'll learn about Cecil Balda, the scholar who studied here every day until he left for the First World War, and the seat that visitors say still feels taken.

  2. Supreme Court

    10 min

    You'll cross First Street to the Supreme Court and look at the portraits in the Great Hall to solve a challenge about the longest-serving justice in the court's history. You'll learn about William O. Douglas, who sat on the bench for 36 years.

  3. U.S. Capitol

    10 min

    You'll walk over to the Capitol and answer a question about where Congress met before Washington existed. You'll also learn why the building is said to be haunted by a cat and by a president who never stopped giving speeches.

  4. United States Botanic Garden

    10 min

    You'll head down to the United States Botanic Garden, the oldest continuously operating one in the country. You'll solve a challenge and learn the story of the burning bride, Laura Schaffer, whose 1868 wedding never happened.

  5. National Museum of the American Indian

    10 min

    You'll stop at the Buffalo Dancer, the bronze figure beside the museum entrance, and inspect it to answer a question. You'll learn what a kachina is in Pueblo belief and why the dancer is said to step down from his perch.

  6. National Air and Space Museum

    14 min

    You'll go inside the Air and Space Museum and put four aircraft in the right historical order, from the 1903 Wright Flyer to the first parachute plane. Upstairs you'll solve a second challenge about Evel Knievel's most famous jump.

  7. National Gallery of Art

    10 min

    You'll walk through the galleries of the West Building and work out which period the art around you belongs to. You'll read about the Renaissance masters whose work hangs here.

  8. Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

    10 min

    You'll go down into the sculpture garden to find a giant bronze rabbit and answer a question about what it's holding. You'll learn who made it and why rabbits have stood for rebirth since the beginning of recorded history.

  9. Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History

    10 min

    You'll enter the Natural History Museum and solve a challenge among the dinosaurs. You'll learn about Mary Anning, the fossil hunter many call the mother of palaeontology, and what really killed the dinosaurs.

  10. National Museum of American History

    10 min

    You'll stand in front of the flag mosaic in the main hall and answer a question about the Star-Spangled Banner. You'll learn how a lawyer watching the bombardment of Fort McHenry wrote the national anthem to the tune of an English drinking song.

  11. Washington Monument

    12 min

    You'll finish at the base of the Washington Monument with the last question of the case, about the staircase nobody is allowed to climb anymore. You'll learn why the stones hold together without any mortar and what is engraved on the aluminium tip.
