Neat idea if Harvard was open

Sean_F, Oct 2024

Harvard was closed to the public when we went so we couldn't walk to some of the locations and had to guess the answers to the questions. They were relatively easy to answer, but a bit frustrating

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for your feedback! We totally understand the frustration caused by not being able to access certain locations during your experience. Just a reminder that Questo games don’t have schedules or expiration dates, so you can enjoy the experience at any time that works for you. We hope you'll give it another try in the future!
