It was fun and challenging! - The hunt was very fun and challenging. I just wish we’d had more time to go into some of the buildings, but we were limited because we had added other plans. History buffs should make this an all day event! Thank you for helping us to see your beautiful city!

Great scavenger hunt! - Our family loved the scavenger hunt! We were able to see and tour historical Boston at our own pace and having fun along the way. Stopped when we wanted to stop and started back up when ready.

Family Fun - Really fun way to explore a part of the city! Kept my 2 kids interested the whole time! Would have been helpful to have had more information before I purchased, for example one of the sites closes at 5pm so we were not able to enter but did not learn this until after paying. Also, it should mention in the description that it can take up to 2 hours after purchase before you are able to access the app. We wanted to do it right away. Fortunately, Christie at Urban Adventure Quest was super friendly and helpful.

Fun experience, clunky site - The site is a little clunky and I think it's a shame to charge per person. There was no further effort on UAQ's side so charging for 4 people felt a bit icky. It was also difficult to navigate to the leaderboard with lots of broken links but we got there in the end. (When I tried to enter our team name nothing happened.) All that said, the tasks were well written and not too easy which was great. We had a fun afternoon.

I recommend setting up your account before you get to your destination. For our hunt, it turned out we also needed pen and paper.</p>
