On a crisp Anchorage morning the city wakes slow — gulls wheel over Cook Inlet, the Chugach Range watches from the east, and downtown sidewalks hum with commuters and curious visitors. The 3Quest Challenge drops teams into this urban edge, handing them a smartphone app and two hours to chase three city-sized puzzles. Challenges mix photo prompts, local trivia, and short tasks that send you to waterfront promenades, historic blocks, and unexpected alleys.
