★★★★★
good clues. the first clue was the hardest to figure out, as the “hint” made it even more difficult to understand.
★★★★★
we had such a great time exploring OGT!! we got to see parts of town we’ve never done before and it was a blast!!
★★★★★
We loved it!!! We had a blast!! My husband and I were on one team and my daughter, son, and his fiance were on another team. The parents won in points, but the kids were faster. lol. I hope there are more quests to come!! I would definitely do it again. Thanks for giving us something to do outside, that was super fun!! We played at 7 pm, when it was dark. We had an AWESOME time!!

One pass unlocks the whole group’s phones: the Duo covers 2, the Fellowship 5. From $8.60 per person, with no booking and no set time.
Two phones, two versions of the truth. Argue about the prime suspect over drinks afterwards.
A team of detectives, one accusation, live rankings. Cheaper than the escape room you couldn’t get a slot for, and the kids usually crack the puzzles faster than the adults.
