We were not able to get the second person’s portion of the game to work. Then, after we did the initial stop (with me narrating to my partner ????), we couldn’t get the narrative to continue. Total waste of time and money.

We definitely saw places we would not have otherwise discovered like the alley with the artsy gates and the 81/2 house. I’m glad we did it. The story was okay, but didn’t add much to the experience. The GPS was helpful. The hardest thing about it was the content was difficult to read as it was small, dark colored font. It was a sunny day. If I could have enlarged the font or lightened it, it would have been more enjoyable.

At first it wasn't clear as to what to do. But once I figured it out. It was a lot of fun. Thank you for the experience.❤️
