Frequently Asked Questions About
UA QUEST
A Scavenger Hunt for Information About Upper Arlington!
When does UA Quest happen?
The UA Quest contest will take place between Saturday, Feb 25 @ noon and Sunday, March 5 @ 7pm.
Is there an entry fee?
There is no cost to participate, but all teams must register using this form.
Who can participate?
This is an ALL AGES event for teams of six or less -- ideal for families or friends. Open to UA residents only. New to UA or have younger kids? We have multiple levels of questions so everyone can enjoy and learn. Participants may be required to complete various tasks associated with each clue. However, people of all abilities should be able to find answers to several clues. Best of all, you don’t have to complete it all to turn in an answer sheet and be eligible for prizes.
How do I play?
Step 1: Gather your team; teams need to include at least one adult. Maximum team size is six members.
Step 2: Register with this form by Friday, Feb 24 @ noon to receive the clues and answer sheet around the start of the event. All teams must register in order to receive the clues; teams registering after the deadline may wait up to 24 hours before receiving the set of clues.
Step 3: Read the rules carefully. Your objective is to gather points for your team for the prize raffle.
Step 4: Send one email to info@uahistory.org with ALL of your responses / photos. Only one email will be accepted from each team and must be sent before the deadline. (Exception: If your photo sizes are too large to send in one email, you may send multiple emails but all at one setting.)
What are the boundaries of UA Quest?
All clue answers can be found within the borders of the City of Upper Arlington.
What resources can we use to solve the clues?
Clues will require different skills to complete. Teams may use the internet, signage throughout UA, GPS, maps or other resources to search for information.
Do we have to solve all the clues to participate?
No. Your one email submission may contain as many answers & tasks as you were able to complete during the UA Quest timeframe.
Teams are encouraged to explore the City of UA as they feel comfortable.
How do I win?
Your team must be registered with a signed form.
Once you receive the clues and answer form (around noon on Saturday, February 25) complete the answer form and email all information at one time to info@uahistory.org. Your email must be received before the UA Quest deadline. (Exception: If your photo sizes are too large to send in one email, you may send multiple emails but all at one setting.)
Raffle entries will be awarded based on the following:
1 entry for a team UA spirit wear photo
1 entry for each correct clue answer
1 entry for each correct bonus question answer
1 entry for a team photo at each correct location
Additionally, the first 5 teams to submit will receive additional entries: 5 for first place; 4 for second; 3 for third; 2 for fourth; and 1 additional entry for fifth.
Prizes will be drawn starting with the grand prizes. Once a team has won a prize they are ineligible to receive any subsequent prizes.

Fast Pass (up to 8 people) to the 2022 UA’s Golden Bear Scare
