★★★★★
Nice tour of the downtown core with fun along the way.
★★★★
some clues were hard to read, but overall pretty good!
★★★★
first time playing. fun clues but most of them were not linked to nearby surroundings. would have enjoyed if majority of the clues incorporated landmarks etc vs just looking at the phone
★★★★
The quest was fun, I love murder mystery themes, so I enjoyed the storyline a lot. Route was stroller friendly, which made for a nice day out with my boyfriend and our baby. Puzzles were intermediate in difficulty, which makes it suitable for many skill levels. Only thing I'd say is that it's not hard enough if you're looking for a real challenging one, but definitely worth a try if you're looking for something fun to do for an hour or so while being outdoors. 😊
Like an escape room. The room is Brantford.
