You tap start on your phone and the city stretches ahead: the Maumee River bristles with ferry wakes to your left, glass-framed museum wings catch the light ahead, and brick storefronts hum with lunchtime energy. The Operation City Quest scavenger hunt turns Toledo’s downtown streets and nearby neighborhoods into a living game board — photos, challenges and local trivia stitched into a two-hour loop that you choose as you go.

History
Toledo grew as a 19th-century port and manufacturing center and earned the nickname 'Glass City' for its long glassmaking tradition, visible in museum collections and public art.
Conservation
Stay on sidewalks and designated paths near the riverfront; Lake Erie and the Maumee watershed face algal bloom issues, so pack out trash and minimize single-use plastics.
Reserve your spot on the Fun City Scavenger Hunt in Toledo by Operation City Quest today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Keep your phone charged
The game runs entirely through the app; bring a fully charged phone and a portable charger for two hours of photos and navigation.
Use public transit or park near the riverfront
Downtown and Promenade Park are central start zones — public transit and limited paid parking are nearby to reduce walking time to the start point.
Dress for pavement
Wear comfortable walking shoes and a light layer—terrain is paved and largely flat but you’ll be on your feet and moving between photo stops.
Plan for weather
Summer can be hot and sunny while spring brings showers; check the forecast and carry water or a rain jacket as needed.
