Good day

Colleen_K, Sep 2025

Fun activity for us to start the day with few other people but mid morning, was crowded so that dampened our spirits. Overall great experience.

This scavenger hunt was such a fun introduction to the city! I played with my husband and we had such a blast. I especially loved the little history lessons after each clue was found. Such a wonderful idea and look forward to playing more of these in other cities.
