★★★★

It was fun, and a good excuse to walk! some puzzles could be harder, and it would be nice to have more local backgeound other than only visual cues. But fun experience overall!

★★★★

very cool idea- the game aesthetic doesn’t make it clear if it’s modern day or historical. the puzzles were fun, but the murderer felt a bit too sign posted. the motive was a bit weak, but everything pointed at them being the murderer from the start.

★★★★★

it was a fun experience. I have done scavenger hunts before but this had a bonus of a storyline to keep you engaged. could have had more interaction with the environment but it was cool the few interactions we did have. took us to the main spots of the city but could have been more expansive. fun story line.
