An unforgettable trip. - Exploring Montreal without a guide is a huge mistake. An experienced tour guide is essential to hear and witness the hidden details.

Easy and accessible activity - I did the quest with a friend during a monthly appointment, we liked the experience that made us observe and learn a little more about our hometown. I liked the concept and during a trip I shared the experience with my family. As there are in many cities, it is worth looking at when you move!

Nice excuse to go for a long walk, challenge our brains while learning about the story of prohibition in Montreal. - Although the first location didn’t seem to be accurately indicated on the map, we were able to find it as I was familiar with the area and the description of what we were looking for. This was our first experience and we liked it. It gave us an excuse to take a nice long walk in the city, while learning more about the history of some buildings and area. It took us around and hour and a half to complete, which was just perfect for us. We needed to use a few hints, which were not that easy to figure out, but were able to complete all the tasks and enjoyed ourselves.

Fun and interesting - This was fun and interesting. This was our first escape game of this nature so it took a little bit to get the hang of the riddles. We’ll do one again in another city.

Directions not clear - The directions to get from one place to the next were very vague and hard to follow. It would have been helpful to include more street names.

Forced to pay more in apps to start - First, in order to start the game (AFTER buying from viator) they forced you to add more "gems" (points in game) because my gems is too LITTLE to start the game! And the starting point is in a very sketchy area where homeless people sleep/ hang out. And when I got in the 3rd location, I realized my battery is getting low.. so I tried to download the game from my other point. And they directly log me out from the game altogether and took it as finished! I was unable to continue the game. I felt scammed. Such a pity I have to end my trip in Montreal in a sucky way... I hope you guys be careful, esp if you have girls trip.
