“A long, long time ago, there was an epic battle between mighty dragons. Hong Kong’s protective dragon fell and was shattered into more than 3000 pieces. The turned into stone and the dragon’s spirit has since been buried in the stairs of Hong Kong Island”

Stair Quest is an urban game — a game that is played by walking around in the city with your smartphone. Stair Quest is also a serious game: you are helping the Hong Kong Stair Archive project by gathering data on stair culture. Together with Melissa, the lead for the project Hong Kong Stair Archive, you will play the mobile phone game, solve quests, and help free the Spirit Dragon! All ages are welcome.

Stair Quest was designed by Stefan Schmidlin and Mela Kocher, and has been updated by Darcy Christ.
