What Playa del Carmen players say
★★★★★
my husband and I needed a date day and this was perfect! Fun to solve the puzzles and loved how it added some elements from the area into the search!
★★★★★
initial sign was taken down all over the Byward market, had to ask and only remaining sign was in sticker form in front of bakery beside Starbucks
★★★★★
Enjoyed this on Halloween and it was really fun. The puzzles aren’t too hard so it’s enjoyable. Also, not from here so we got to explore the town.
