This was challenging and fun. Would do it again in other cities. It's a great idea to explore Houston on your own

Was nice to get a tour around the city that we've never been to. Did have to use a map a few times. Not scary but fun

We tried to play this game for my husband’s birthday, and we abandoned it after the first few “challenges.” First of all, Downtown Houston is way too dangerous to be playing a game like this. You should not be staring at your phone in Downtown Houston but should instead be keeping an eye on your surroundings. This is true in the day and in the night. Second of all, the game was poorly written, not at all fun, and silly. And by silly I don’t mean cheesy. We were hoping for cheesy. I mean incomprehensible and dumb. The “challenges” were uninteresting and did not relate to the game or story as a whole. For example, at a fountain with swordfish jumping out of it, the challenge question was “What is jumping out of the fountain?” The answer was “fish.” But that word did not relate to the next stop or the next challenge in any way. Don’t do this activity, both for safety reasons and for the fact that it is not worth the money.
