The Central Park Urban Adventure Quest tour lasts between two and three hours, making the Central Park Quest the perfect weekend outing for friends, families and those looking to do something different in their own city.  For tourists or those new in town, the Central Park Quest is a great way to see the park and discover many of its famous sights while playing an interactive, engaging game.

“The Central Park Quest is a wonderful way to really see what Central Park has to offer. Think of it as a Central Park sampler,” said Urban Adventure Quest owners, Robbie Bos, Christie and Tami Walker. “There is so much to see and do in Central Park that we could have created three or four Quests.”

The Central Park Quest starts at Columbus Circle. The game leads players on an adventure that takes them to many of Central Park’s iconic locations including Umpire Rock, the Carousel, Chess and Checkers House, the zoo, ice rink, the Mall, and a castle. Participants will learn plenty of fun facts about Central Park, and New York as they discover some of the park’s hidden gems like Shakespeare’s Garden, whispering benches, and ancient monuments.

Urban Adventure Quest is different from other scavenger hunt tours in one critical way... all directions, hints and game information are provided to participants through the use of their smart phone.  The company’s Web-based software guides teams during their Quest, while keeping track of points and time. Participants play on their own schedule and choose their own pace of play. The tour is one low price for each group, regardless of the number of people. The Quest software keeps track of each team’s score and time, making it easy to declare a winner. The top 25 scores are posted on the Leader Board for each individual city.

Family owned and operated, the Urban Adventure Quest (UAQ) team has created interactive Quest adventures in the following cities: Atlanta, Ga.; Boston, Ma.; Catalina Island, Calif.; Dallas, Texas; Hollywood, Calif.; Honolulu, Hawaii; Las Vegas, Nev.; Los Angeles, Calif.; New York, NY; San Diego, Calif.; San Francisco, Calif.; and Vancouver, British Columba, Canada.
