    Fun but No Riddles or Challenges

    Cassie_R, Mar 2024
    We had fun, however, there is no intrigue or hunting - you just get a list of places to go. I thought we would get clues and then have to figure out the next place to go (same places, but some challenge/puzzles to solve). The places are fun and some were new experiences, so we had fun, but I could have come up with a list of places we’d never been on my own. Also, it estimated two miles of walking and we walked five. This was fine for us but may not be for everyone. It was a fun family activity but not worth the money if you already live in the city and know your way around.
