★★★★

really cool I liked how right where it drops you is right where the questions are but it still wasn't completely obvious. does the real world quest right there at the beginning involving James Brown the entire James Brown Park was under construction and everything was tore down from what we could tell so we didn't know from the surroundings what that was

Like an escape room. The room is Augusta.

Escape rooms are genuinely good. They also want a slot booked days ahead and a fixed hour. This is the version you can decide on at 7pm: outdoors, across 2.4 km of Augusta.
