Exploring Gastown - What a great way to spend a few hours exploring Gastown and its history! My daughter and I had a blast interpreting the clues...some more criptic than others, but would highly recommend to locals and tourists alike.

A BIG thumbs up!! - If you are not great at solving the riddle or question it is OK, there are hints and when needed hit the “skip” button and get the answer, easy peasy. It was a great way to explore the attractions at our own pace and learn about the history and culture, a big thumbs up!

Best Day Ever! - We loved the clues to get around the city and learn about many buildings in Gastown. Had the best day ever for cheap. My only critique is that the story became confusing at parts! We ended up ditching the story at the end and just read the clues and history!

fun and challenging! - Getting the app to work properly was frustrating getting started. Once we figured that out, this was a fabulous way to spend an afternoon learning about the history of the area and solving the riddles. I hope to find more locations to experience like this!

Fun for the whole family on a budget! - It took a minute to figure it out but once I had that done, it was fun and informative. I saw some parts and buildings of the Vancouver area that I would not have seen otherwise. It was a fun way to see the city on a limited time schedule and budget!

Fun and interesting - We enjoyed the stories associated with each of the landmarks and the encouragement to look more closely at the architecture. The clues were fun (some pretty challenging). At the price, it's hard to go wrong

Fun for a few hours - This was a fun way to check out GasTown in Vancouver. We had a bit of trouble downloading the game onto more than one phone so we all had to share. Also, we got hung up on one clue and there was no way to continue. But still fun for a few hours of exploring.
