Worth the money

Kelly_M, May 2024
This was worth the little money it cost. The download and getting ready was a bit of a hassle still worth it. We really enjoyed all of it up until the last clue that was not accessible anymore. However the help menu and chat from the app let us know what happened at the end. Would probably liked a big finish. Still lots of interesting facts and places we would have missed on our trip. I did report the issue so hopefully others won’t get to the last chapter and not be able to complete it as well.

Scam!!!

Brinee_C, Apr 2024
This is a scam do not buy this. You download a free app and do the scavenger hunt yourself. The app is called Questo.

It was a super fun and interesting way to get some history of the park and also get to sightsee!! It lets you discover little things that you probably normally wouldn’t explore. Definitely Recommend!! I’m going to look for one everywhere I travel!!
