★★★★★
We really enjoyed the experience, self guided, own pace, stopped when needed, etc.. One thing to note is some of the names of the places have changed so they need to be updated. The colour of the map was very hard to read, too dark and the letters were a pink/red, again, hard to read. The audio started / repeated much too quickly, a longer pause would be nice to differentiate the end of the audio / recording. The money / coins should be Canadian for Canadian cities These are just suggestions as we had a great time / fun!!!
★★★★
fun, but would have been fun to have more things with the ghost tour aspect
★★★★
it was a fun evening out but the map glitches a lot and makes it hard to find where your going
★★★★★
it was fun but I can’t feel my fingers also the map kinda sucks maybe fix that it’s very confusing
★★★★
lots of fun! great idea! even more clues using the surrounding landmarks would be even better!
