THe pinquest was kind of a scavenger hunt to get you to buy pins. You bought the "kit" at a location then solved a clue to take you to the next location to buy the next pin. You had to go up to a cast member at the next location and tell them the answer before they would let you get the next pin. We collect pins so it was a fun way to get some neat looking pins. We went into shops where we probably wouldn't have gone before. Sort of like the kim possible or perry the platypus adventure thing in Epcot where Disney uses a game or scavenger hunt to direct people to places that may not get a lot of traffic.
