About this Event

Springfield! Are you looking for a fun, family-friendly activity in Springfield? We can help you explore Springfield with our fun photo scavenger hunt service! Get a team together, purchase tickets, then redeem your tickets on our website. You'll get your instructions for your epic scavenger hunt delivered to your email. Once at your location, use the instructions to get set up on the app and then the app will give you a list of items to find. The items come in the form of riddles! First figure out the riddle to determine what item you're looking for, then you'll set out to look for the item described in the riddle, complete the accompanying challenge, and send in a photo to get points. Your points will show up on the app's leaderboard so you can see how you're doing compared to other teams who have played in Springfield! Looking for more info? Visit our website at operationcityquest.com.

The scavenger hunt is priced per person. Each ticket gives one person 13 or older access to participate in the scavenger hunt. Children 12 and under are free and do not need a ticket.

After ticket purchase, Operation City Quest requires a redemption made on our website. Redemption can be made at https://www.operationcityquest.com/redeem-tickets.
