Turn Reno’s streets into a timed puzzle with the 3Quest Challenge. Using an app and a remote host, teams hunt for objects and complete playful tasks across downtown for points and a spot on the leaderboard.

You step into downtown Reno with your phone as a map, the Truckee River daring you to follow its turns as the city wakes. The 3Quest Challenge turns the streets into a playground: an app lists objects, clues and micro-challenges, a remote host nudges you with bonus tasks, and a live leaderboard measures how cleverly you read the city.

History
Reno grew from a 19th-century railroad and mining service town into the gaming and service center nicknamed 'The Biggest Little City in the World,' its downtown retaining railroad-era streets and early 20th-century storefronts.
Conservation
Stay on sidewalks and public paths, respect private property when completing challenges, and minimize waste—downtown litter and river health are local concerns supported by community clean-ups.
