Welcome Questers!
Discover Parks and Trails around Boston’s South Shore
while Gathering Clues to a Puzzle
During these unprecedented times South Shore Quests has decided to make our 2020 booklet available online for download. Buttonwood Books in Cohasset has physical booklets for sale. Call 781-383-2665 for payment and pickup instructions.
- There is a suggested $5 donation to defray the cost of the booklets we have printed but can not as yet distribute. Donations can be made through our PayPal site. Please do not check the “protect your goods and services purchase” box. PayPal deducts monies to create a shipping label and we will not be mailing the booklets. Instructions for download are below.
- All Quests will be boxless until further notice to help reduce the risk of contagion. The clue phrase will work as proof of completion if working towards a patch.
- Please continue to practice social distancing by Questing with just your immediate family. It’s difficult to space properly on narrow trails with large groups.
- Before heading out on a Quest check to be sure the property the Quest is located on is currently open to the public. We will update our website under Trail Updates as we hear of closures but can not guarantee our site will be up to date in this ever changing landscape.
- Fairies are practicing social distancing as well. Please do not open or handle the Fairy doors on any of the Quests.
- Don’t want to hit the trails and like Questing? Create a boxless Quest for friends and neighbors. Suggestions on how to create a Quest are located under our About Us/Volunteers tab.
- Like Questing? Consider joining our committee. See the Volunteers tab for ways you could get involved.
- Find the 2020 Quest booklet pdf under Questing/Quest Books.
