An UrbanQuest is a small taste of the Amazing Race for the average person. Customers can choose from a variety of Quests and download their clue package online. Then, using their smarts, resourcefulness, and printed clue packages, teams explore parts of their city to solve puzzles and unlock their final answer. Once teams have the correct final answer, they enter it online to find out the final destination of their Quest: a mystery restaurant where a reservation has already been made for their group. Teams can also opt out of the meal portion and just try to beat the two hour countdown. The unique and original concept of UrbanQuest makes it a fun activity — great for dates, a group of friends, or an outing for the family. UrbanQuest offers a range of Quests to cater to these different groups.
My family and I took part in a Quest last summer and had a blast. You have a chance to get out of your car, onto the streets and get to know the city up close.
UrbanQuest and Macaroni Kid are giving away an Ottawa quest (retail value $19.99) so you can explore with your family. You must be a Macaroni Kid subscriber to be able to win. Email me (saralynne@macaronikid.com) with “quest” in the subject heading. Winners will be announced the following week and draws will take place throughout the summer.
