You step off the sidewalk and the city rearranges itself into a game board: brick storefronts, lakeshore palms, and a clock tower that might be the answer to a riddle. The 3Quest Challenge turns central Lakeland into a timed urban forage—an app-led scavenger hunt where teams chase clues, photograph objects and complete bite-sized dares while a remote host watches the leaderboard.
