Curiosity sparked - It starts at Union station and ends at the waterfront. My CuriosityBased team of 4 did it from one phone. Really educational and interesting. One station had outdated information. It was good value

Fun, Fun, Fun! - Was so much fun. We learned a lot about Seattle and got in some good exercise. Time went so fast. Would do this in other cities.

A few missing pieces but still enjoyable - We couldn’t find a few of the points of interest including the totem poles at Elliot point which have been removed, so that made things interesting. Cute story though and some of the puzzles were fun; the history was the best part and those blurbs were interesting.

A fun afternoon of exploring! - This was a fun way to explore the downtown area. We wish there were more than 10 spots! The only negatives were that 2 of the spots (art museum and park at Virginia St) the items to be used to solve the clues aren’t there due to construction. For one of the we were able to use the hint given, the other we had to spend a few minutes Googling to find a picture to solve it. I’d recommend updating the picture hint for the Virgina St stop.

Fun family time. - Fun little adventure in and around downtown Seattle. Completed this past weekend with our family of 6. Great clues and educational too. It took us a little more than an hour to do.

Needs Improvement - We never could find whatever we were supposed to find in front of the art museum. And the totem poles at the waterfront are gone at the moment, off getting refurbished, so we had to guess at that one. The route it takes you through is intended to pad the time and the story narration hops out of present tense and into past tense a few times.

Counting your steps. - Finding the glue pot and deciphering the code was intriguing. It was fun working with new people to problem solve.

Wasted time, wasted money. - We could not get any of it to work. Don’t waste your money!! Horribly disappointed. We won’t ever do this again.

Never got to play game - Had a very hard time accessing the game. Of course I tried to use my Apple account as a short cut to setting up a new account in the new app I had to download. So it didn’t work. User error. All my fault so I’m the loser. Also time consuming and frustrating.

Take a mirror to read some of the clues. - "It could be more engaging," said the 14 year old. Online support staff was great unraveling an error in logon info, but it took1.5 hours to do so. You need to download an app, so only those in your group with an app should need to pay. For 1 adult and 4 kids, $45, was way too much and we quit after 5 of the 10 clues. We liked the starting point. A national park in downtown Seattle! They offer a free 1 hour wallking tour. We were disappointed.
