Positives:
- Efficient and easy-to-use format (text/WhatsApp-based)
- Puzzles were suitably challenging for casual adult experience
- Even history buff in group learned something from facts
- Badge at end was fun addition
- Duration was appropriate (not too long, not too short as to be a rip-off)
Areas for improvement:
- Pirate theme felt mostly irrelevant, especially considering it was geared towards adults rather than younger children
- Would benefit from more puzzles/clues (at least twice as many) rather than long gaps of walking between puzzles (got a little tiresome)
- Orientated towards adults/much older kids - had a (usually engaged) 5 y.o. who had little-to-nothing she could contribute to clues and so interest quickly waned
- Would benefit from having two versions - current one for tourists and a longer, more challenging one for locals with more clues and history facts
