So much fun! - We had so much fun doing this city scavenger hunt! Even though we are locals, we saw the city in a way that we hadn’t before and we got to learn a lot of interesting facts along the way! We are excited to do another tour!

Not like other history quests! - I was expecting the usual fare with this quest, but instead of repeating what we've all heard about Columbus and Ben Franklin, I was pleasantly surprised that it took me to Elfreth's Alley, Chinatown, and the Whispering Bells, among other fascinating locations. The quest is definitely a workout - plan for a couple hours of hiking around the city - but it keeps you near the same vicinity, which is fantastic. It's a brain workout, too. Some clues are easy, and some are downright challenging! All in all, it was a fun afternoon spent learning and pretending to be on an Indiana Jones-style mission.

Disappointed this visitor to Philly. Might have been better for locals. - This was such a disappointment. I love escape games, & as first-time visitors to Philadelphia with limited time to sight-see, I thought this would be a novel & efficient way to see some of the highlights. Unfortunately, after 6 of the 13 stops, we hadn’t seen anything we’d hoped to see, my frustrated husband completely checked out, & we abandoned the game without finishing. While playing, we found some of the directional clues to be confusing — the one after the 6th stop got us completely lost. The game touted that you could play without internet access, but if you needed to click on the help button for directions, you were out of luck without an internet connection. This might have been a cool outdoor escape game for locals, but for tourists, this was not a good option. Plus it was way more walking & time-consuming than we were led to believe. I gave this two stars instead of one because the customer service team WAS readily available to chat, though when I told them what a disappointment this was, they offered me “a few gems toward a future adventure.” Considering our massive disappointment, I would have appreciated a partial refund much more. This just failed us on too many levels.
