  Looking for a way to turn Salt Lake City into a giant game board? Urban Adventure Quest has created an interactive scavenger hunt that combines the fun of the Amazing Race with a three-hour sightseeing tour of Salt Lake City. Guided from any smart phone, groups make their way among well-known and overlooked gems of the city, solving clues and completing challenges while learning local history. The adventure begins at the Gateway District outdoor mall and takes you on a well-designed course among Olympic monuments, through Temple Square and up to the State's Capitol. The tour requires approximately 2.5 miles of walking and uses the local transit system at one point in the game. Using a smart phone as "the guide" allows participants to start when they want and determine their own pace of play. So do some extra sightseeing in Temple Square or explore the history of the Capitol... why not, it's your schedule? Offered at a fixed price for a group vs. per person pricing, this city tour/game offers a great value to those on a budget. Sign up online. www.UrbanAdventureQuest.com. (less) ... Read more
