Clues were good. used hint once. Took 130 minutes including water breaks. Wear comfy shoes and bring water. Enjoyed seeing areas of the parks and getting the history of artists and pieces.

There were several interesting things to see, but we missed others. The instructions for how to get from one site to another were miserable. The "challenge" was full of silly questions - not worth the trouble of trying to figure them out.

Really good app that is a unique way to learn about the city. We live in Chicago but wanted something outside for kids (8 and 11 yo) over the long Thanksgiving weekend. Although reluctant at first, I let the kids run the quest - short of helping on a few of the riddles/clues they were able to complete in 90 mins - really enjoyed the quest. Only feedback is a couple the questions/instructions were not very clear and we had to get hints to sort out meaning. All in all really good and will look for quests in Chicago and other cities we visit.

Super easy and a great way to see Chicago with friends. I would definitely do it again if given the chance.

Directions to destination were tough to follow. Destinations and questions were good. Overall experience was average.

Bitsie H

So much fun! Easy to follow directions and yet someone within email reach if help is needed. Not only is the game fun and creative it led us to places / landmarks we would not have experienced and learned things we otherwise would not have learned. We will try to do this in every city we visit! Highly recommend.

The game is great as far as history of Chicago. Being from out of state and not know ANYTHING about the City made it more difficult than fun.
