Overview

The year is 1375, and a devastating drought grips China. The Emperor sends you, his Imperial Advisor, to find the four Dragon Kings, rulers of weather and water. Armed with a scroll of clues, your search leads through Chicago's Chinatown.

Solve 12 challenges across Chinatown's landmarks: decode ciphers at the Nine Dragon Wall, consult jade peacocks at the Pui Tak Center, crack zodiac riddles among twelve animal statues, and follow dragon claw prints to Ping Tom Memorial Park on the Chicago River.

Download the Questo app, activate your quest with the booking code, and start at Chinatown Square Plaza. No guide, no schedule, explore at your own pace.

Discover stories most visitors walk past: a 100,000-piece mosaic shipped from China, an FBI casino raid inside a landmark building, a feng shui library, and the dumpling shop on every Chicago food list.
Perfect for couples, friends, or families exploring Chicago beyond the Loop. About 1 hour, 12 stops through Chinatown.
