This was really awesome. We enjoyed ourselves. It was fun and it gave us great exercise and it was nice to get the opportunity to solve some things together and work together.

I don't think the tips to get where you were going was confusing, but typing the answers in could be, especially when words were spaced in the clue but there was no spaces when entering your answer (like the artist's name for the last puzzle). If you do not know Mandarin, you may not know what the issue is. Also wish it wasn't so much back and forth walking, it could be a little more in a complete circle to save people like me who were already tired from walking elsewhere. Overall nice to learn about Chinatown this way though! I liked learned the facts and seeing the beautiful architecture through this lense instead of just going to look on my own.
