Enjoy a uniquely crafted story inspired by L. Frank Baum’s original Oz novel from 1900 and try a new type of experience that encourages people to step outside and build connections while crafting enduring memories. The Oz Wicked Glitch Experience is an interactive game/activity where you are guided by the Questo mobile app through a set of locations in Houston, while stepping in the shoes of the story's main character. At each location, you will follow directions and solve very fun puzzles, riddles, and cryptic codes that will unfold the story and guide you to the next location. Designed to be enjoyed on foot, this experience is ideal for exploring the city on a romantic date, a family outing, or as a team-building activity. During the activity, you will also visit popular and hidden places in Houston while learning fun stories about them. This is a storytelling experience just as much as it is a role-playing scavenger hunt.

Q&A

Q: Is there a recommended age for kids to participate in the Wicked Glitch of Oz experience?

A: This experience is generally great for kids aged 10 and up, as the puzzles can be a bit challenging for younger ones. However, younger kids can still enjoy it if they have adult supervision to help with the riddles. It's perfect for family outings since you can adjust the pace and provide hints if needed!

Q: How does the weather impact the self-guided adventure? What if it rains?

A: Since this is an outdoor experience, rain can definitely put a damper on things. However, because it’s self-guided, you can easily reschedule to a nicer day. Just check the forecast and plan accordingly! The puzzles are more fun when you're not dodging raindrops!

Q: What's the parking situation like for the Wicked Glitch of Oz in Houston?

A: Parking varies by location since you'll be moving around Houston. Most popular spots have street parking or nearby garages, but I'd recommend checking the specific areas on the Questo app before you start. Just be prepared for some walking, especially if you decide to park a bit further away from the starting point!

Just did the Wicked Glitch of Oz — and it was a blast!

I recently took my partner on this self-guided adventure in Houston and it was honestly so much fun! We loved solving the puzzles and discovering hidden spots around the city. The app was super easy to use, and we took breaks at different locations to grab snacks. Perfect date idea! I'd recommend wearing comfy shoes since we walked quite a bit.

Thinking of gifting the Wicked Glitch of Oz experience!

I'm considering this for my friend's birthday. They love puzzles and exploring, but I’m a bit worried about the logistics. How long does this usually take? And is it really suitable for a group of friends?
