Are You Up to the Challenge?
ZooQuest is a challenging quest-based program, taking place on Saint Louis Zoo grounds. Part trivia challenge and part scavenger-hunt, it guarantees your team will never look at the Saint Louis Zoo the same way again. You'll notice signs you usually walk right past, colors that aren't usually noticed, and details that make the Zoo unique. For example, do you know how many animals on the Conservation Carousel have purple saddles? Family ZooQuest has "easier" to solve parts for the children, with harder challenges for adults, but you'll have to work together to complete your quests!
Zoo Clues
ZooQuest isn't your typical scavenger hunt. The quests are multi-step word puzzles and math problems that will lead you around the Zoo to ultimately solve each one. Rather than sitting on a bench to solve a crossword puzzle though, you'll be traveling around the Zoo finding clues to figure out what you need to solve. Using observation and time-management skills to solve the puzzle-based quests, it's a day of education and fun!
In addition to quests, there will be side games to serve as tie-breakers. An optional trivia challenge, as well as a sheet of "I-spys" will help your team to earn extra points and prove that you are true Zoo adventurers!
NOTE: This program is designed to be challenging within its designated time frame, to the point that teams may not finish all of their quests. ZooQuest involves a lot of walking around the Zoo and paying close attention to details. Therefore, it is recommended for hard core Zoo fans!!

ZooQuest teams must consist of at least one, but no more than two adults, and at least one, but no more than three children (minimum of two and maximum of five per team).
