How to Play

Across the 7 quests of the weekend, you'll solve clues and find hidden QR codes around the cabins and lake. Each quest you complete unlocks a Legacy Fragment — a word. Collect all 7 and you'll assemble the whole Legacy.

A new quest goes live on a schedule (you'll get a text). Open it, solve it, find its QR code, and scan it to complete it. Some quests also have a puzzle or code to crack first.

Play on your own or join a team. Teams share everything — XP, progress, and nudges are pooled, and anyone on the team can scan a code or solve a clue for the whole group. Solo players keep their own score.

• Complete a quest+100 XP
• Solve it without a nudge+25 XP
• Finish all 7 quests+250 XP

Speed Bonus

Here's the fair part: your clock starts the moment you open a quest — not when everyone else did. The faster you solve it, the bigger the bonus. So whether you start Thursday night or Saturday morning, an 8-minute solve earns the same reward.

• ⚡ Lightning — Under 10 min+50 XP
• 🏃 Quick — Under 25 min+30 XP
• 🧭 Steady — Under 60 min+15 XP
• 🎯 Finisher — Took your time+5 XP

Came a day late? You're not out of it. Because the clock is personal, you can still earn top speed bonuses and climb the board.

Speed isn't everything — there are other ways to climb the board:

• 📸 Photo Challenges — snap a pic for any prompt and earn +30 XP each. No judging — everyone's photos go in a shared album you can browse and download.
• 🧠 Bonus Trivia — answer history & America's-250th questions for +20 XP each. No time pressure.

So the fastest team won't automatically win — creativity and knowledge count too.

Stuck? Tap Need a Nudge? to reveal a hint. You get 3 nudges total for the whole game (shared across a team), and each quest has up to 3 hints. Using a nudge on a quest means you miss that quest's no-nudge bonus — so spend them wisely.

As your XP grows, you climb the ranks of the Hall of Explorers:
