What To Expect
Fontaine de Tourny
Although only recently installed in Québec City, the Tourny Fountain has a fascinating history. Six copies of this work, designed by French sculptor Mathurin Moreau in 1853, were made, and it was exhibited at the 1855 World's Fair in Paris. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
The first Saint-Louis Gate was in the late 17th century under the French Regime at its present location. During the British Regime, the army closed the gate doors at night to restrict travel between the city and outlying areas, which disrupted trade and hampered the city's development. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.

1.00Failed to unlock the game and had to buy extra chips that never served. Scam. Not worth it
Great way to see the small details that make a city special!

5.00What a wonderful way to explore a city on your own. We had done a walking tour 2 days before so had our bearings as we began. Using clues every now and then just added to the experience. One stop had construction, but I had a photo of the same place from a year ago and was able to solve the challenge😀 Can't wait to use Questo in New Orleans.
A great way to take in the sites and attractions of Old Quebec!

5.00Great way to tour the city and learn some interesting history. Puzzles were challenging but not too hard. Happy they went in order and didn't have you going back and forth across the city to get to them. I'd definitely recommend this one!

5.00This was my favorite thing we did in Quebec City. I love architecture and sight-seeing, my husband loves history, and we both love solving riddles and puzzles. This was the PERFECT was for us to see the city and this game took us to locations we might not have seen otherwise!

3.00Nice activity that remains long to do with children. We don't always know how to write the answers. For example, you write the full name inscribed on a statue when you had to write the last name only or you write verbatim what is inscribed when, in the end, the word has no meaning and you have to change the V to U. You still learn interesting information.
Frustrating Inaccuracies but Fun Exploration

3.00This game needs some updates and some fixes - a couple clues are outdated due to construction or other changes in the city (outdated by over a year), and some are just so poorly worded that they're actually wrong. If you're competitive (which my husband and I are) this can be kind of frustrating. However, I'd still recommend the game to others since it got us to explore new areas of the city.
A bit complicated due to construction work (Aug 2022)

4.00The app itself works very well. The clues, however... sometimes the directions could be a little confusing (turn right at Winston Churchill's statue was in fact NOT right). Also construction work meant one of the clues was unavailable, the statue being closed off by a big fence, so we had to 'cheat' on google. Also we lost a lot of time on the first clue because of how we interpreted the question. There is of course the option to skip but we're stubborn lol
Great experience!!
