Fun, Fun, Fun! - Was so much fun. We learned a lot about Seattle and got in some good exercise. Time went so fast. Would do this in other cities.

A MUST Do - How fun this was! I truly thought this was going to be more like an escape room, and while there were some elements of that puzzle-like approach, this was an incredibly fun way to learn about the city, do some exploring, and take a very nice walk. Be prepared for the weather of course as Seattle is very rainy. This is easily friendly for the whole family or something to do solo as you're walking around the city and viewing various historical sites, interacting with the different locations you encounter in one way or another. One of the stops along the way is the Smith Tower and be sure to budget time to stop and take the tour! We were lucky enough to catch the end of their weekend brunch. I am so glad we did this as it is such an amazing way to have fun, see the city, and be outdoors without spending an arm and a leg.

Fun Seattle Historical Walking Tour. - We had a blast! It was fun finding the clues and walking through the city. We learned some interesting facts about Seattle’s history during the early years. We had a few glitches initially but seemed more user error. I would recommend this walking tour.

A fun afternoon of exploring! - This was a fun way to explore the downtown area. We wish there were more than 10 spots! The only negatives were that 2 of the spots (art museum and park at Virginia St) the items to be used to solve the clues aren’t there due to construction. For one of the we were able to use the hint given, the other we had to spend a few minutes Googling to find a picture to solve it. I’d recommend updating the picture hint for the Virgina St stop.

Fun family time. - Fun little adventure in and around downtown Seattle. Completed this past weekend with our family of 6. Great clues and educational too. It took us a little more than an hour to do.

Counting your steps. - Finding the glue pot and deciphering the code was intriguing. It was fun working with new people to problem solve.

Wasted time, wasted money. - We could not get any of it to work. Don’t waste your money!! Horribly disappointed. We won’t ever do this again.

Never got to play game - Had a very hard time accessing the game. Of course I tried to use my Apple account as a short cut to setting up a new account in the new app I had to download. So it didn’t work. User error. All my fault so I’m the loser. Also time consuming and frustrating.

Take a mirror to read some of the clues. - "It could be more engaging," said the 14 year old. Online support staff was great unraveling an error in logon info, but it took1.5 hours to do so. You need to download an app, so only those in your group with an app should need to pay. For 1 adult and 4 kids, $45, was way too much and we quit after 5 of the 10 clues. We liked the starting point. A national park in downtown Seattle! They offer a free 1 hour wallking tour. We were disappointed.

SCAM - It was horrible and a waste of my money. There were other fees to be paid so that you could play the game (purchase gems; $19.99) that was not disclosed before booking. Then the app did not take me to any of the destinations but rather walked me around the block which I could have done on my own without having paid for this “guided tour”. It’s the worst and a scam. I’d like ALL of my money back
