About this app

Turn your city into a game.

Questo is an outdoor escape game, scavenger hunt, and self-guided walking tour, all in one app. Explore the real world with your friends, partner, or family: solve clues, uncover hidden spots, and step into the stories behind the streets you're walking.

Need a date-night idea, a weekend activity for the kids, or a fresh way to see a city you love? Questo makes the real world your playground, in 1,000+ cities worldwide.


TWO WAYS TO PLAY

1. Outdoor escape games (for locals)
Spontaneous adventures in your own city. Like an escape room, but outdoors.
• For couples: "Murder Mystery: Crime on Date Night." Skip dinner and a movie and team up to catch a killer.
• For families: "Kid Quest," made for ages 4 to 8. Walk the park, solve easy riddles, take photos together.
• For friends: race to crack the case before time runs out.

2. Story-driven tours (for travelers)
Don't just look at landmarks. Step into the story behind them. Local writers turn history and legend into walking games.
• New York: "Hamilton." London: "Jack the Ripper." Zurich: "Einstein." Paris: "Lost Lovers in Montmartre."
• And new adventures: "Murder Mystery Zodiac," "The 9 Lives Heist," and "The Lost Gold."


MORE THAN READING, IT'S PLAYING
Questo isn't a text walk. It's interactive.
• Puzzles that use your phone and your senses, like blowing on the screen to clear the dust and reveal the next clue.
• Video woven into the story, so you watch history come alive instead of just reading about it.
• Time Rifts: see how the place you're standing looked centuries ago.
• Every quest reshapes the app to match its world.


PLAY TOGETHER
• Co-op: share one phone and solve as a team.
• Versus: split into teams and race. The leaderboard shows who's fastest.
• Crews: join or start a group, play together, and compete for the top spot.


KEEP THE MEMORIES
• Memories: after you finish, re-read every story and relive the quest.
• Explorer Photos: see real photos from other players, and share your own.


PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE
Quests in multiple languages, many with an audio version so you can listen as you walk.


HOW IT WORKS
1. Download and browse the map to find a game near you.
2. Head to the starting point. No schedule, start whenever your group is ready.
3. Use the statues, buildings, and street art around you to solve riddles and unlock the next part of the story.


WHY QUESTO
• Real connection: put the screens down and be with the people around you.
• Budget friendly: far less than an escape room or a guided tour.
• Flexible: pause for lunch or a coffee anytime.
• Gift it: buy a quest for someone you love.

Ratings and reviews

It was a nice walk around the Rittenhouse Sq area. I wish the app games had been a bit more interactive, as in being able to move items around within the app, zoom in on the pictures, and just make the puzzles overall a bit more interactive. I liked the photo ops that presented themselves in the app. Overall, it was a cool experience and I'm looking forward to trying out a few more!

I have no idea why this app has such high reviews. The interactivity was lacking, and the story/most puzzles didnt actually match the environment. As far as i can tell one of the puzzles had to be looked up and didn't have any way of figuring it out. The puzzles overall were the type of thing you could do on a cereal box. The price for 3 people matched an escape room, which seems reasonable for the 90 minutes until you consider 75 of those minutes were spent walking. also, the ai art was bad.

Creative & fun! Difficult in downtown due to tall buildings blocking GPS, which is required. I was anxious about not being able to read the story after the game & also running out of time - neither of these were issues. A little pricey I think, especially since there was no signage or local business involved. You go back and forth within a square mile to unlock story events and phone puzzles. I did enjoy the coordinated gameplay with optional costume contest, which really added to the experience
