Crack ciphers and follow a spy thriller through Tacoma landmarks on this flexible, self-guided 90-minute city walk.

About this tour

Step into a spy thriller on a self-guided walk through downtown Tacoma. Your shift at the Museum of Glass takes an unexpected turn when a stranger leaves a battered spy novel on your counter, with a coded cipher hidden inside. Enemy agents are on your trail, and the next clue is waiting somewhere in the city.

Use the Questo app to follow a 10-chapter mystery across a 1.9 km route. Decode messages, solve observation puzzles, and visit Tacoma landmarks including the Museum of Glass, Bridge of Glass, Union Station, Pantages Theater, Antique Row, the Spanish Steps, and the Elks Temple. Along the way, the story weaves in local history, from Dale Chihuly’s glass district to the 1916 Spanish Steps and the restored Elks Temple.

This easy-paced Tacoma Spy Mystery Walk takes around 90 minutes. Start whenever you like, pause when you need to, and pick up where you left off. Gather friends for a playful city adventure, or take on the clues at your own pace. Open the app and see if you can stop the hand-off before Tacoma becomes the passageway for a global breach.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
