Philadelphia Adventure

Sharon_T, Sep 2025

It took more than the 2 hours that was mentioned it would take and we didn’t have time to finish and return to our parking in time.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

It is clearly stated that it is on AVERAGE 2 hours :) Of course someone can follow a different pace :)

Just okay. Would not recommend, but it is cheap.

Cindy_S, Jul 2025

Not much to it. Just going from place to place, a little history on each, not too much in the "scavenger hunt" part, so not really what I would call fun experience.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your honest feedback and we're sorry the Philadelphia experience didn't fully deliver on the scavenger hunt element you were hoping for. You make a fair point — our experience blends city exploration with historical storytelling and interactive questions, which some players find more tour-like than a traditional scavenger hunt. We continuously work on adding more engaging puzzle elements and deeper historical content to make the experience more immersive and fun. We hope you'll give us another chance in a different city where we can show you a more complete experience! 🗺️

Lots of fun. Good way to explore!

Take a moment at each of us stopped to enjoy and explore the things they tell you about in the area. We took two days to do it. We did some one evening, then came back the next day and did more.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed taking your time at each stop and exploring the places and stories along the way. Splitting the tour over two days is exactly the kind of flexibility we love to offer, so you can enjoy Philadelphia at your own pace. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
