★★★★★

great day to explore this part of Jax with fun clues and riddles to solve
Rhashaunda Jones · Dec 27, 2025

★★★★

Cool to walk around and explore an area and follow the storyline. The surroundings being interactive was a huge plus!! It was advertised to start at 8 pm minimum, so walking through residential areas at night time was kinda weird

★★★★

this was really fun for me and my girlfriend on a Tuesday evening! the history cards were all the same, we wished they were different but maybe it's a glitch. otherwise a really nice way to spend an evening outside exploring San Marco
