Learn & play while you tour historic Charleston, South Carolina!

Answer multiple-choice questions as you explore an area rich with history, using the information you find in the city posted on white plaques placed in front of historical buildings, statues and memorials. Follow clues in the virtual Scavenger Hunt that will lead you to a bonus question in a famous part of the city.

Each correct answer wins you points. Each incorrect answer takes points away. Hints can be requested revealing a picture and/or GPS coordinates of the answer to the question. You even have the option of having the GPS coordinates plotted in the Map App on your device!

The city is divided into four zones: NE, SE, SW, & NW.
King St. divides East from West,
Broad St. divides North from South.
Each zone has questions to answer, and if you cant answer the given question you can shake the device for a new, random question in the zone.

The Scavenger option points you to a starting location in the city, and presents you with waypoint clues that guide you on a couple mile walk, leading you to a bonus question worth 500 points. A wrong answer will cause you to lose 500 points, so be careful! Along the way you will find several answers to questions in the other zones, so pay attention as you enjoy the sights and sounds of this historic city.
