Visitors can play this online game in 38 locations across the country, including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Players receive points for correct answers and can compare scores to those of other participants. Folks can even form teams and compete with friends.

"It felt very different but not forced.  It was a casual walk and we were laughing the entire time!" says Sandstrom.  "The great thing about it is that you get to go at your own speed and see the city the way you want to see the city."

The Quest costs $49 for a team of 2 to 5 people. Click here for more information.
