It was a pretty neat idea, executed a little poorly. On the positive side, it was fun hanging out in Philadelphia in the middle of the night seeing some sites and learning some things I didn't know. The game / pizzle format is a great idea, and a couple of the puzzles were fun to solve. On the negative side, the walking directions were a bit hard to follow and had us walking in circles but it would have been more fun if we had a place to get to. The instructions felt like they had been written by AI and maybe not play tested or edited for clarity. Most of the puzzles were kind of weak, silly, or outright random in terms of solution. Also, the back story about running away from Ben Franklin's enemies seemed pretty stupid, and the educational sections were a bit too verbose. Would have been nice if there were more group problem solving elements as it felt like we were basically all doing the puzzles by ourselves. For $8 though it was a reasonably good deal and I like that it was self service so you can do it anytime. I'd do this type of game again but only if the actual puzzles and writing were quite a bit better. Feels like a definite 3/5 for me all told.

Make it clearer that a mirror may be needed for some puzzles. Also one clue with Benjamin franklin’s boat has been moved- is no longer in Thomas Jefferson’s garden. Otherwise this was a great game - I wanted my daughter to enjoy visiting the historical sites and experience them more fully and this game helped with that. She has ADHD and visiting these things are usually unbearably boring for her but the game aspect made her excited to go from site to site.

Great game. We only had a couple hours to visit Philadelphia and got some good information while playing this game which took us about 1 hour. It was also a lot of fun for a couple teenagers with us. Overall great experience. Only regret is not having more time In Philadelphia, we must go back for a longer visit.

Cool and fun game where you read clues and give responses to the atmosphere around you and it moves you forward and through Independence Park and all the history there. Fun for solos, for couples and families
