Your Experience

Boston loves being first, and this self-guided exploration game challenges you to find the proof. Hunt the city's record-breaking firsts from the Boston Public Library across Boston Common to the Massachusetts State House, stand where Alexander Graham Bell first spoke into a telephone, and finish at the oldest restaurant in the United States.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 3.8 km and takes around 1.5 hours, with no time limit.
