Worth it! - We loved this game. It was easy to use and showed us new places that we would not have even noticed if not for this. We were able to have a drink in the oldest operating pub in the U.S. We highly recommend it and will definitely use it again in a different city!

Great time - The game was neither too easy nor too hard. I thought the amount of walking was just right. I was happy to learn more about Boston. I would skip ot change the story elements and add the option to try food/experiences from local proprietors like I did to inhanse my experience.

Meh. It was just fine. - It was just meh. I wish the clues were more clever - were a group of smart people, but needed hints for a few and even with clues we needed to guess. (The park street t station and union oyster house). I’m glad it was so cheap, but it was super disappointing
