Overview

You wake up on Hollywood Boulevard as a ghost with no memory. All you have is a heart-shaped locket with a woman's picture inside, and a trail of haunted landmarks pulling you toward the truth.

Follow 12 stops along the Walk of Fame into Hollywood's darkest chapters. Decode ciphers at the Pantages Theatre, confront a dragon at Grauman's, chase a mummy past the Roosevelt Hotel, and uncover a love story ending at a florist that still delivers roses to the dead.

Download the Questo app, activate your quest with the booking code, and start at the Pantages Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. No guide, no schedule, explore at your own pace.
