There was one point where we had to go back on ourselves, by a bit of a distance, the quest would have been better if we kept moving forwards.

instructions for the next locations were very vague and cryptic and required local knowledge and Google maps rather than actual puzzling. the puzzles at the locations were quite basic which wasn’t the most fun. the history and story was done very well though.
