I live near Zurich but don't know the city well, and we had family visiting from abroad. This was a great way guide us through the city, where I could point out and talk about the places I knew as well as find a few that I didn't. The puzzles were a good difficulty: Not too challenging, but not trivial, and with some interesting twists. I can imagine that it would be perfect for a couple of families to do together: The children can focus on the puzzles and the parents can talk and view the sights. The fact that there is no time pressure means that you can look around the area, take a little detour, stop in a shop, or grab a bite to eat along the way. A nice addition would be for the printout you carry with you to have a short paragraph or two next to the end-point of each clue that describes the significance of where you are. People can always skip reading it if they're not interested, but it would add to the appreciation of the city and the route. There was also one clue where you had to get down on your knees and reach into a somewhat grubby area; not everyone might appreciate that.
