★★★★★
This was fun and a unique experience! Being gamers, it’s refreshing to do mystery solving games outdoors. Also made us explore and appreciate our downtown better. October is def a great time to do this!
★★★★★
it was fun. the stompbox question was unnecessarily misleading, other than that it was a great time. my gf and i had a great time walking around laughing and connecting with each other.
★★★★★
We loved exploring downtown Waterloo! The story was mostly engaging though we weren't able to fully grasp why the murderer was who it was. Still, this was a great outdoor activity!
