Dorothy's Quest in Chicago: Outdoor OZ Experience

Step into a world where brains, heart, and courage are your greatest tools. Dorothy’s Quest invites you to rediscover the city through a classic fairy tale lens, where every statue or building could hide a coded message. It's an immersive, story-driven exploration game inspired by the Land of Oz, that will have you search for clues in the real world, solve interactive puzzles and learn a bunch of fun facts about the Oz universe. Each location hides a clue that will require your wits, imagination and puzzle solving skills to reveal and get the instructions for the next one. You'll follow the yellow brick road, fight the Wicked Witch and collect legendary artifacts while exploring various charming spots in Chicago with your loved ones.

It's the perfect weekend quest for families and friends who want to go outside, enjoy the sun, do something fun together while doing their steps, and watch familiar streets become enchanted pathways.
