From our family to yours: Our story
Hello dear parents, adventurers, and puzzle lovers! We are Caro, Dominik, Karlotta, and Oskar – yes, exactly, the family behind Quest-Hero! Don't we all know it? The child's birthday is around the corner, and suddenly we feel like we're in an action movie: buying decorations, baking cakes, planning games... and then the thought: How do we ensure the kids have an unforgettable day without us parents drowning in organizational chaos?
The idea for Quest-Hero was born from exactly this feeling. For years, we planned elaborate scavenger hunts for our children. Hours of crafting, hiding clues, and devising routes. The shining eyes of our little explorers were the reward, but we asked ourselves: Can't this be easier?
And then, one night, the spark came: A digital adventure that combines classic scavenger hunt fun with the ease of technology. Our children Karlotta and Oskar were involved from the start – their honest feedback ("Mom, that's too boring!") made Quest-Hero what it is today.
We wanted to create something that actively gets kids outside. Quest-Hero is our digital compass: A smartphone becomes a companion while the kids run, search, and solve puzzles together. And all this without hours of preparation for us parents!
Quest-Hero is our gift to you: A way to experience unforgettable adventures with your children without the stress trap. Everything is set up in minutes – spontaneously, whenever and wherever you want.

Frequently asked questions
How does the outdoor treasure hunt work?
The treasure hunt runs right in your mobile browser (Safari or Chrome). GPS guides you to each station where exciting riddles await.
What do I need to play?
The best setup is a smartphone with GPS and its own internet connection - Android or iPhone both work perfectly. Tablets with GPS and their own internet also work fine. Tablets without GPS using mobile hotspots can be troublesome. For treasure hunt games you should also hide a small treasure at the final stop.
What can I use as a treasure?
Anything fun works: small toys, candy, chocolate, or another surprise. It doesn’t have to be expensive. A themed container such as a small treasure chest adds to the excitement.
What ages can take part?
Our quests are suitable for children ages 4 and up and adapt to the selected age range. Younger kids who can’t read yet may need a little help.
How long does a game last?
Playtime depends on your route and the number of quizzes. Plan for roughly 30–90 minutes for a typical adventure. The setup shows you the expected walking distance.
Where can we play the treasure hunt?
The quests automatically adjust to your chosen location. Play in a park, downtown, your neighborhood, or even the backyard.
Do I need to prepare anything?
Preparation is quick and easy. Pick the stations on a map to create your personalized route and you’re ready to go in minutes.
What happens if the weather turns bad?
A little rain is fine, but please postpone the game if thunderstorms or high winds are forecast to keep everyone safe.
Can we pause the game?
Yes. You can pause at any time and continue later. Your progress is saved automatically.
What if we can’t solve a quiz?
You receive up to three hints. If you’re still stuck, you can skip the quiz and keep the adventure moving.
How many times can we play a purchased game?
Each quest can be completed twice.
How long is a game valid?
Your game license is valid for one year from the purchase date.
What if I placed a station at the wrong spot?
No worries - even if it ended up in a pond or on private property. You can adjust every station at any time, including while you play. Just reopen the setup and move the marker.
