Puzzled at Parklands: Quest 4 the Flag

Puzzled at Parklands: Quest 4 the Flag is a team-based outdoor event in Jasper, Indiana that combines timed puzzles and physical movement across a mapped course. Teams of four navigate a roughly 1.5 miles route through the Parklands, visiting nine challenge locations where they complete puzzles, activities, or tasks to earn flags. The objective is to collect the most flags in the least amount of time.

The event is organized into two age-based divisions with a short break between them: Elite Division, for teams with three or more members aged 16 or older, and Family Division, for teams composed of two members younger than 16 and two members aged 16 or older. Teams are frequently split into pairs for many challenges, regrouped in other areas, and then split again so each participant contributes to multiple tasks. Organizers recommend a starting age of 7 and suggest younger participants work with older team members when course challenges split.

Participation is limited to 24 teams in total, with roughly half the teams per division. Registration pricing is tiered: $60 per team through September 27, increasing to $80 per team beginning September 28, and registration closes on October 1. Ninety percent of event proceeds support the Tri-County YMCA, with the remaining ten percent placed in the DC Multisport Endowment. Volunteers are scheduled throughout the course to assist with challenges and course direction. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
