Get ready to race across campus in the Spartan Quest, an exciting, fast-paced adventure through MSU’s most iconic landmarks and rich traditions! From the historic Beaumont Tower to the legendary Spartan Statue, you’ll explore must-see spots, take on photo challenges, and solve riddles along the way. Compete for your team and uncover the spirit of Michigan State University! The Quest will take approximately 60 minutes and will involve walking around campus. The adventure leaves from STEM every 15 minutes. This event does require registration - sign up as a group or individual to reserve your spot.
