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!

Great game! loved that the distance wasn’t too far apart. It’s the perfect way to explore the city and get your steps in on a nice day. Questions we’re definitely challenging

★★★★★

fun walk through Noblesville, for the price this was a reasonable quest but some of the clues were triple the difficulty of previous ones which doesn't make a lot of sense
