Overview

Explore the University of Texas campus like never before in this self-guided puzzle adventure. As a rookie supernatural investigator, you are sent to your alma mater to track down a rogue mage wreaking havoc across UT Austin.

Your mission takes you through 13 stops filled with hidden art and mind-bending puzzles. Decode secret messages at a headless statue, follow magical footprints past a saber-toothed cat, and race to stop a dark plot before it unfolds.

Discover the real stories behind UT's campus treasures: the 100,000-seat Longhorn stadium, Julius Whittier's legacy, public art from world-renowned sculptors, and the Littlefield Fountain WWI memorial.
The route covers 2.8 km with varied terrain and some stairs. Difficulty level: advanced. Best during the day. Start anytime and play at your own pace.

Perfect for UT fans, families, and anyone visiting Austin. Download the Questo app, enter your booking code, and head to DKR Stadium to begin.
