How this Quest works
In a trivia walk, participants navigate to each stop and answer multiple-choice questions. In a beautiful city with a lot of history, you can for example create a trivia walk about the buildings' architecture. Ask questions about the buildings they have in front of them.
The screenshots below are this example played for real, in Eixample, Barcelona — 6 stops, about 3.9 km of walking end to end. Nothing here is a mock-up: the 6 quests from this page, dropped on 6 real places and walked through.
The wording at each stop is a starting point, not a script. Each screenshot below names the real place it was staged at — borrow the shape of the walk and write your own for where you are.
All 6 stops pinned across Eixample, Barcelona. The participant is 42 metres from the first.
A quest only opens once the participant is physically within about 30 metres of it, so the question cannot be answered from the hotel room. The countdown in the header is the speed bonus, which shrinks the longer they take.
Stop 1 as the participant sees it, opened on arrival.
A completed stop pays the 300-point base plus whatever is left of the speed bonus.
Everyone's results land on the same scoreboard as they go, so a group spread across Eixample can still see who is ahead.
The live scoreboard part-way through.
