Would Recommend! - I wasn’t too sure about this after seeing how few reviews there were and it being split between positive and negative ratings. I went ahead and booked it for a group of four anyways. We had a fun time and thought is was well worth it! It’s a cool way to explore the city and get some steps in, especially if you like learning about history. The price was very reasonable compared to other scavenger hunts in the city. The leaderboard added some competitive motivation, which was also fun — for us anyway (Go, Wrinkly Rolling Raisins!).

Puzzles - It was great wandering around the city finding new things to do on a later date. I am also very competitive and this puzzling adventure gave me motivation to really pay attention to what’s around me so I could get my goal time and score. It was a lot of fun!

Very fun and full of information - If you are a history buff or even someone that likes to know unique facts and see different sites of the places they visit, you should definitely do this adventure. It's only a couple of hours at the most. We had a great time.

Troubleshooting help would have made all the difference - The adventure itself was probably a 4. Lots of history and interesting facts about Lancaster, but nothing was extremely puzzling about finding those facts. The instructions were clear and simple. It was a nice way to walk around the city and notice things you don’t see when driving through. However, we had a horrible time getting started. While I clicked the link that was emailed to me, somehow the first clue sent us to Lancaster, California instead of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I have no idea what I did wrong but we wasted an hour trying to figure out what was wrong and how to get information we needed about a place that did not exist in our city. I’m sure I probably hit a wrong button somewhere, but there should be some way to restart if something goes wrong. Phone calls I made for help sent us to voicemail and we were very frustrated.

Confusing and Disappointing - Transparency: We stopped after 15 of 26 questions. Walking through Lancaster city the night before we did this activity, we were excited for the "Puzzling Adventure" to learn more about the beautiful and historic buildings and neighborhoods that we saw and "explore the city's gems." We participated in a self-guided walking tour in Bethlehem, PA and had a very positive experience, so we were looking forward to this. The tour started at a very unremarkable parking lot, and the directions to our first stop were unclear. As a result, the first three questions were a bit of a mess. Steinman Park was a gem, so we stuck with it. I would suggest starting at a clearly recognizable site (like the giant monument in the middle of the city) and leaving parking to individuals to figure out. Once we got our bearings the directions were pretty easy to follow, but they were out of date and took us through neighborhoods that were much like any other city. There were several times that the clues were inaccessible due to construction fences that were up around required stops. During the 15 stops that we made, we read many signs and plaques posted by historical societies, researched questions on Google and learned tidbits about individuals, but we learned very little about the city itself. Again, we did not complete the activity because it was frustrating and we lost interest, so there is a possibility that things improved a great deal during the last 11 questions.
