Family Fun - My kids ENJOYED this. They enjoyed the story and solving the puzzles, and reading the map to direct us to the nxt location. This was a fun family activity.

Great Experience!!! - This was so much fun. My daughter was visiting and we needed to go out and celebrate. We thought about going out to a bar, etc. but then I thought we should do something different. Since we both love being outside, this worked. What a great evening. We got to stop in the middle to listen to a jazz / swing band, have wine and snacks and then proceed. The park was wonderful, the game not to hard and we had a great time together. Quality!

Interactive, engaging, and educational - 5/5 - The smartest way to teach a landmark's history. Had tons of fun, would definitely do it again, and I'll recommend it.

Exploration with an objective - This was a cool concept and we would do it again! It was easy to navigate and fun to figure out where we were going next. It was also a good opportunity to see parts of the park that we hadn’t seen or didn’t know much about.

Fun way to discover the park! - Loved that the game pauses to allow time at each place the game takes you. Loved the artist village, the gardens

Fun experience - It was a fun night out at Balbo Park. I like that we can just download the app and play on our own. And it took us all around the park. I wish there were better questions that required a little more thinking. Maybe like an adult version and a kids version.

Great experience could use scooters or bikes - We liked seeing all the different things, a lot of stuff to explore. However we didn’t like the fact that there weren’t any scooters, lots of walking endured, over 4.2 miles of walking.

Fell Flat - I think the idea of this is great but I would have liked it to be more like an amazing race. The game had a story line that made no sense and took aways from the challenges.
