Nice way to get in your 10k steps and enjoy art. - We had a lot of fun playing this scavenger quest.
The directions were easy to follow and we saw some amazing street art.
We also learned about the message behind the art and something about the artists.

Awesome! Will take longer on foot. - I loved it! The 80min is definitely by bike though and NOT on foot. On foot I would count on 3h or so. Because it was much longer than expected, I didn't manage to finish it on scene, but I completed it by using Google street view xD
The support was really good, it is difficult to go from the support back to the game though.

Perfect date night activity - Such a unique experience for our monthly date night. My husband and I are always looking for inexpensive and out side the box outings and this treasure hunt style your of the down town Ottawa street art brought us around to a quaint cafe we had never seen and some off the path art installations. We enjoyed the scenery the puzzles and the app format. We hope to have more added in our city so we can take advantage of more nights out exploring and discovering.

A Great Outdoor Experience in Ottawa - This is a great way to explore Ottawa. Not only did we get to see various outdoor works of art, we also had fun reading the intriguing story and solving the clues. There was also interesting information provided about the artists and related historical events.
It is a lot of walking and we found that it took longer than expected. I would suggest wearing comfortable shoes and giving yourself lots of time to thoroughly enjoy the experience.

Very good - Fun experience. Enjoyed the stories. Definitely took much longer than stated. With a break for lunch and a coffee break (total about 45 minutes) it took 3.5 hours. I believe it was about 8km of walking.

Ottawa street art comes alive - This is a great way to see some amazing murals and street art in Ottawa. It was fun to solve the clues and enjoy a sunny afternoon. We would recommend good walking shoes and a fully-charged phone - we ended up going back to our car and driving the last 4 stops since we were worried our phone would die. This would be best on a bike or scooter. There was a bit of confusion on the mural with the petals in the woman's hair. We needed a clue, but there wasn't one.
We recommend stopping along Elgin for a drink and the breakfast sandwiches at Arlington Five are worth a pause. You could finish your day with dinner at Corner Peach in Chinatown or another restaurant on Preston.
I found the fictional story a little silly, but it's easy to skip over.
We're looking forward to trying more games.

Fun premise but too spread out - Unfortunately we did not have time to finish the game, it said it would take just over an hour to complete, but after over 2 hours, and having walked miles, we were still only up to stop 8 of 11, and we ran out of time. The street art on the tour is of variable quality and very spread out with long walks between stops. Also one of the stops no longer exists but we were able to guess the puzzle answer. I like the premise of the game but it's a bit too spread out to do on foot in a short time. At least we got to see plenty of the city!
