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.

I really enjoyed it! yes it’s true that there are only 3 (optional) challenges that involve actually looking around and using your surroundings but the rest are all solving riddles once you arrive at a certain location. they were challenging but not overly hard. was a fun date night idea!

★★★★★

it was a fun walk with lots of little puzzles and word games. some easy and some kinda tricky. I wouldn't say it would be great for a toddler but anyone 12+ could probably have fun with this game as long as they like to do the 2 main things involved here (walking and words)
