  Looking for a way to turn Sacramento 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 Sacramento. 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 Quest will start in the heart of the state's Capitol and will take you on a journey among the historic points within the Capitol Mall and then to the fabled streets of Old Sacramento. You will explore both famous sites as well as hidden nuggets within the city and along its scenic river front. The tour requires approximately 2.5 miles of walking. Using a smart phone as "the guide" allows participants to start when they want and determine their own pace of play. So put down your gold pan and saddle up your group for a fun adventure... 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. (less) ... Read more
