Great way to experience DC sites! - The MLK Memorial was the highlight, but overall it was a good sampling of DC sites. Good amount of walking-enough, but not too much. A few glitches with the system counting our correct answers as wrong, but not a big deal.

Fantastic time - We did the scavenger hunt as part of a bachorette party activity and it was definitely fun and learnt new things along the way. Visited multiple war memorials, the lincoln memorial. Will be a good activity for children as well.

Nothing like a scavenger hunt. - Nothing like a scavenger hunt. We quit after the first few “clues”. Requesting my money back. The facts are interesting but we were just reading them on our phones the whole time, not actually interacting.
