Highlights

You're standing in Pioneer Square holding a ticket for the S.S. Portland. The Klondike Gold Rush is calling and the ship won't wait. But something is wrong. People pass right through the space where you are. The city feels familiar and utterly foreign at the same time. And nobody, not one person seems to see you at all.


In this self-guided mystery quest through Seattle's most historic streets, follow clues from Pioneer Square to Pike Place Market to the waterfront, solving puzzles rooted in the real history of the 1897 Gold Rush. Use the free Questo app to navigate 10 stops through old Seattle.


Stand at the site of the Great Seattle Fire, look up at Smith Tower (the tallest building on the west coast for half a century), wander through Pike Place Market before the crowds, and reach the waterfront where the S.S. Portland once docked with two tons of Klondike gold.


Every stop pulls you deeper into a story with a twist you won't see coming.
