You step off the curb and the city becomes your playground: sandstone storefronts, the grid of downtown streets, and the Wasatch front cutting a clean line to the east. In a 3Quest Challenge scavenger hunt you’ll navigate Salt Lake City with an app and a remote guide, racing through three themed quests that use photo prompts, riddles and mini-challenges to push you into alleys, plazas and public art that most tourists miss.
Salt Lake’s story — founded by Mormon pioneers in 1847 and organized on a rigid grid — intersects with 20th-century commercial corridors and modern civic spaces. The flat, walkable downtown sits at roughly 4,300 ft elevation; geology is visible where the foothills begin, with quick views of limestone and the jagged Wasatch skyline. Culture here is pragmatic and outdoors-oriented: you’ll pass coffee shops that double as trailheads, civic murals, and pocket parks frequented by students and commuters.
Expect mostly pavement and city stairs, light elevation changes when you head into neighborhoods, and 2–4 miles of walking during a brisk two-hour run-through. The app times your photos and scores challenges; a remote host is available if you need hints.
Practical guidance: charge your phone, wear comfortable shoes, bring a small water bottle, and choose early morning or late afternoon in summer to avoid heat. Use public transit or rideshare to reach your start point, and respect private property while photographing. This is a low-impact, high-energy way to learn the city’s streets, history and local quirks while racing the clock.

Salt Lake City was founded in 1847 by Mormon pioneers and laid out on a disciplined grid; downtown reflects that planning with long, straight streets and named squares.
