This was a super fun activity! We had a group of 5, 14-16yr olds. It was a nice difficulty that challenged them but wasn't too difficult. getting to explore a little bit of Cedar city was very cool. I want to go on more adventures like this in southern Utah.

My boyfriend surprised me with this for my birthday and I loved it! It was so much fun walking around and getting to explore the area! We did it at night to add the ominous effect and it was definitely giving! 10/10 recommend
