Highlights
The cast of this ghost hunt is ten people who died with something unfinished: a bride three days from her wedding, a doctor on his third night without sleep, a librarian who stayed late to shelve one last delivery. They're fictional, and they're loose in downtown Portland. You'll track them down with the Questo app, starting in Pioneer Courthouse Square and working through the blocks around the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, City Hall and Portlandia. Each ghost hands over a clue once you've solved its puzzle, and the clues add up to the final question: which of the ten has been lying? It's a self-guided walk of about 1.2 miles that takes roughly 90 minutes, compact enough for families. Start at any time that suits you. Hints are built in, and someone from our team is around 24/7 if you need help.

Itinerary
Pioneer Courthouse Square is base camp. The app connects you and puts your sight to the test with a symbol puzzle. Then, a few doors up Broadway, you'll go through a dead bride's last note for the word hidden in it. Her future mother-in-law put something deadly in her bouquet.
Toward the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall and the theater blocks of Broadway, two ghosts are still on the job. You'll read a doctor's blood chart from 1952 to find the type he should have used, and pull a four-digit code out of the lines of an actor who never finished his opening night.
Down on Fifth Avenue, close to Portland City Hall, you'll rebuild a senator's case from five evidence folders, then comb four years of a teacher's class registers for a pupil who was never there.
Between the Elk Fountain in Lownsdale Square and the hammered-copper Portlandia statue, you'll catch an antique dealer's ghost by spotting his fakes, then work out which book in a dead librarian's collection unlocks her closet.
Your final ghosts wait along the Fifth Avenue transit mall and around the old Pioneer Courthouse: a professor whose artifacts need putting in order, a hotel manager's evacuation plan, a priest's haunted organ. Back on the square, you'll put the ten clues side by side and name the liar.

About Portland
Portland is Oregon's largest city, a green Pacific Northwest city of bridges, rose gardens, food carts, craft beer and views of Mount Hood.
Portland sits where the Willamette River meets the Columbia, with the snow-covered cone of Mount Hood visible to the east on clear days. It is called the City of Roses, and the International Rose Test Garden in Washington Park, above the city, has thousands of rose bushes. Forest Park, one of the largest urban forests in the United States, covers the hills west of downtown, and the Japanese Garden nearby is a quiet retreat.
Top-ranked sights in Portland: Multnomah Falls, Latourell Falls, Columbia River Gorge.
