Cheap fun!

Denise_P, Oct 2025

It was a wonderful way to get some fresh air on a nice walk with beautiful sights (highly recommend doing it in the evening when it's dark), and super cheap!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for the great review. We're so glad you enjoyed the walk and the atmosphere — doing it in the evening is a great tip. We appreciate your recommendation and hope you’ll join another quest soon.

Fun

Fun but could have used 2 phones instead of having everyone’s looking down at their phones. Not too much walking. Everyone was able to do it

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thanks so much for your feedback, and we’re glad you enjoyed it. Good point about using two phones — we’re working on a multiplayer mode so each player can follow along on their own screen. Hope to have you back for another mystery soon.

This a walking tour of downtown Ottawa. Personally, I enjoyed it, but my husband found the scavenger hunt part of this tour "annoying." We are not into escape rooms or scavenger hunts normally so this was a departure for us. The tour was easy to follow and it took us around the major sites in downtown Ottawa. I am planning to do it again in Philadelphia with a girlfriend of mine, I DId find it fun although I was a bit frustrated with the some of the treasure hunt questions being asked.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed exploring Ottawa and appreciate your honesty about the game style. Hope you have a great time in Philadelphia—it's a fun one!
