About this activity

The year is 2742. A rogue time traveler has vanished into 21st century Seattle, and you are the agent sent to find him. Track his signal from the Olympic Sculpture Park to the Space Needle, cracking codes at 13 landmarks along the way.

Break a cipher on the Space Needle's plaque. Decode reversed text at a Chris Cornell statue. Find a hidden word in the Opera promenade windows. Every stop mixes real Seattle history with a sci-fi storyline that twists at the end.

Download the Questo app, activate with your booking code, and start at the Olympic Sculpture Park. No guide needed, just your phone, clues and a map in the app. Play as a team of up to 3 or solo.

Discover how a sapling from Anne Frank's window reached Seattle, why the Space Needle sparked a panic in 1989, and which legend says whales once swam underground between two bays.

About 60 minutes, 13 stops, 3 km through the Seattle Center. Available every day. Perfect for curious minds who want more than a standard walking tour.
