PLAN YOUR ADVENTURE
Frequently asked questions
Everything your team should know before heading downtown.
How much does a quest cost?
One Scenic City Quest team pass costs $19.99 and covers one selected quest for a team of up to four guests.
How many people can play on one team?
Each team pass covers one to four guests playing together on one device. Larger groups should purchase another pass and compete as a separate team.
How long does the walking quest take?
Plan for about one hour. Your pace, children, photo challenges, optional discoveries and nearby business stops can make the adventure longer.
When should we begin?
For the complete walking experience, begin between 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. The Visitor Information Center and River Gallery close at 5 p.m., and some areas may be unavailable later.
When does my purchased pass expire?
Your 24-hour access window begins as soon as Stripe confirms payment. The quest remains available on the purchasing device until that window ends.
Can we switch phones or share the game?
A pass is designed for one team on one device. If a phone is lost, damaged or replaced, contact Scenic City Quest for help transferring legitimate unused access.
How are answers and points handled?
Every scored question has an objectively correct answer. A correct first attempt earns 100 points, a second attempt earns 60, and later attempts earn 25. Teams may skip for zero points.
Do we have to upload photos or videos?
Media challenges are part of the fun, but upload only images your team is comfortable saving. Children should be photographed only with a parent or guardian's permission.
What do we need to bring?
Bring a charged smartphone with mobile data, comfortable shoes, water and weather-appropriate clothing. Biking teams should also bring helmets and follow traffic rules.
What if weather or a closure blocks a landmark?
Follow posted signs and never enter a closed or unsafe area. Use the zero-point skip if a clue is inaccessible, and contact us if a major closure prevents completion.
IMPORTANT PARTICIPATION TERMS
Safety, assumption of risk and media choices
This summary is provided for clarity. Every purchaser must affirmatively accept the complete agreement displayed before checkout.
Participant responsibility and route safety
Scenic City Quest provides self-guided entertainment and general navigational suggestions only. Participants control their own route, pace, transportation and conduct. Participants must remain alert, use lawful pedestrian and bicycle facilities, obey traffic controls and posted rules, avoid restricted or unsafe areas, and discontinue participation whenever conditions appear hazardous. Digital directions, maps, landmarks, hours and access conditions may be incomplete, delayed, inaccurate or changed without notice.
Assumption of inherent risks
Participation involves known and unknown risks associated with public streets, sidewalks, crossings, stairs, hills, trails, weather, traffic, construction, crowds, animals, water, bicycles, physical exertion and the acts or omissions of participants and third parties. To the fullest extent permitted by Tennessee law, each adult participant knowingly and voluntarily assumes these risks and accepts responsibility for personal safety, property and supervision of minors.
Release and limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, participants release and hold harmless Scenic City Quest and its owners, operators, contractors, affiliates and representatives from claims arising from ordinary negligence connected with participation, route information, public conditions or third-party conduct. This provision is not intended to waive rights that cannot legally be waived, including claims that applicable law prohibits from being released.
Adult and guardian authorization
The purchaser must be at least 18 years old and authorized to accept the agreement for the purchasing team. When a minor participates, the purchaser represents that the purchaser is the minor's parent or legal guardian, or has obtained permission from the minor's parent or legal guardian, and accepts responsibility for continuous adult supervision.
Optional photo and video release

Declining promotional permission does not prevent purchase or private challenge uploads.

Promotionally authorized media may remain in published materials until reasonably removed after a valid request, although prior lawful uses and third-party resharing may not be fully retractable. Teams should never upload intimate, unsafe, unlawful or highly sensitive material and should avoid displaying addresses, license plates or other private information.
