A bookstore the size of a city block, a copper goddess and a dragon-guarded gateway — Portland keeps it delightfully weird.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Portland on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Lose yourself in Powell's City of Books, the world's largest indie bookstore
• Pass the dragons of the Chinatown Gateway
• Look up at Portlandia, the hammered-copper giant above the crowd
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English and Spanish.
Keep Portland weird — and keep score while you're at it.

What to expect
Powell's City of Books devours a whole city block with a million volumes under one roof. Riddles browse the colour-coded rooms without getting lost — mostly.
The Chinatown Gateway follows, five roofs and two bronze lions marking the historic district's entrance. Trivia bows respectfully.
Then Portlandia leans down from the Portland Building — the second-largest hammered-copper statue in America after Lady Liberty, and far more publicity-shy.
Around two hours of bridges, books and food-cart temptations. The leaderboard names Portland's finest — weirdness counts double.
