★★★★★
it was good to be out side and solving puzzles all at once but you walk a lot so for every one who likes that I soooooo recommend it
★★★★
We had lots of fun! However we felt the clues weren’t good enough to be able to accurately guess at the end.
★★★★
Construction all over city. Difficult to get to, fountain not there
★★★★
the first clue refers to a statue that is currently in storage during construction of the street.

One pass unlocks the whole group’s phones: the Duo covers 2, the Fellowship 5. From $8.40 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.
