Challenge Quest is a one-day interactive citywide scavenger hunt focused on education, charity, fun, and community.
Players will have the option to sign up [ individually OR in teams of 3-4 players ] and be placed on a team to complete tasks and challenges that will bring them throughout Boston, experiencing new places and meeting amazing new people. There are a variety of different tasks to complete including location tasks, quizzes, charity tasks, and challenge quests. The winning team will receive a grand prize package of over $800!
LOCATION TASKS will dispatch players into the city to find a specific location, such as an art installation, business, or landmark. You’ll need to be alert and aware of your surroundings to succeed!
QUIZ TASKS will encourage players to learn new information about a Boston-specific person, place, organization, or thing in the community. Keep your minds sharp, because we WILL test you on what you’ve learned!
GENERAL TASKS will consist of random missions designed for players to have fun, step outside of their comfort zones, and meet new people. We’re big on community building and friend networking!
CHARITY TASKS are designed for players to give back to the community and show the wide Boston LGBTQ+ community that we love and care about it!
CHALLENGE TASKS will be larger, more complex tasks that involve a series of lower-level tasks. These will take more of your time, and teams MUST complete them before moving forward in the quest.
The registration fee will cover the operational logistic cost of conducting the event, player swag, and a portion shall go to a local LGBTQ+ nonprofit.
