So fun! - So fun!! Had a great getting to walk around and solve all the clues! It was a beautiful day in Charleston when we did ours as well. Difficult to get everyone to read if they want to skip ahead but still a great time.

Fun family activity - This was a great way to see the city at your own pace. If only one person is going to view the directions, clues, and story you don’t need to pay for multiplayers.

Good experience - We really liked this! I would call it a scavenger hunt more than an escape game, but either way it was fun and gave us a good tour of a lot of Charleston’s great historic spots on the peninsula. My one caveat is to let people know that occasionally the puzzle questions were either vague or a bit too obtuse, leaving us having to guess a little too hard what the puzzle creator was going for in the answer. Also, you have to type the answers exactly correct in order for the game to register your answer as right (i.e. if they’re looking for the answer “post” and you write “sign post”, the game will register your answer as incorrect until you write only “post” in the answer field). We found this feature to be a bit annoying but not enough to give the game a lower rating. Above all, a good value for experience.

Great fun! - It was fun and got to see some of the Charleston highlights in a different way. Would have nice if the waterfront could have been worked in somehow.
