The sun is a slow wheel over Houston’s low-slung skyline as teams fan out from a starting ping on their phones. Streets hum with delivery bikes and early commuters while clues, delivered as riddles, send players into alleys, parks, and historic squares — a real-time map of the city’s textures. The 3Quest Challenge breaks the city into three timed quests: solve, seek, and perform. Each quest steers players through neighborhoods where brick warehouses meet new glass towers and the bayou cuts a green line through the urban grid.
