Zelfgeleide speurtocht: Annapolis rode bakstenen en blauwe uitzichten

Nothing really memorable. Similar to many others but not as user friendly. When we arrived at our destination it never pickup that we were there. Always had to “check in anyways”.

The sign-up process is convoluted. 1. Buy experience from Trip Advisor and receive a redemption code. 2. Download the "Let's Roam" app and redeem the redemption code for virtual coins (in-app currency). 3. Purchase virtual tickets (another form of digital currency?!) with the coins. 4. Use the tickets to "reserve" a specific scavenger hunt There has to be a simpler way... The actual scavenger hunt was decent. I enjoyed walking around Annapolis and learning random facts and completing challenges. There were three things that prevented the scavenger hut from being great. 1. It was too easy. If you were at the site, the answers were essentially... "What is written on the sign". I would have appreciated more of of a mix of obvious and challenging questions that were not immediately obvious. 2. The app is supposed to "confirm" your group is at the site using your phone's location services. Despite literally being in touching distance of some of the landmarks, the app refused to confirm I was there. As a result, I had to "proceed anyway" which reduces the amount of points available for the challenge. 3. Several of the sites were closed when I was in Annapolis. The park at the dock was closed for a boat show, the rotunda at the State House was covered for renovations, and one of the buildings was surrounded by a fence because of renovations. Granted, none of this was in the control of "Let's Roam Annapolis", but it I had to guess the answer to some of the questions (and got them wrong).

The support staff in the office were excellent but many of the instructions on the ground were confusing and we went round in a few circles. Frustrating!
