I am new to the platform but really enjoyed this kind of game / sightseeing. This was a great way of looking twice at memorials and art pieces which you usually just walk "through" on a daily basis. Linda's interactive journey was well explained and each stops were less than 5mn walk apart. The storyline built a bit of suspense and was very creative. I didn't expect to experience Jersey City like this but definetly recommend it! Thank you Linda :D

Exciting story line and clever riddles. I love how your guide's personal shared memories of the neighborhood invite you to explore and create memories of your own. Lots to see and beautiful places to relax.
