I had high hopes for this but it just wasn’t worth it. Firstly, I had a terrible time downloading the actual game, as it kept telling me to rebuy it. Then, when I was finally able to download the actual game, the directions were poor and the story seemed to be missing pieces. It also kept making us backtrack to places we had already been, so we rotated around 2 square blocks for over an hour. It’s a cool concept, but the execution is poor.

Paid $10 to search for the initial building to start at, only to have zero further instructions on what to do or where to go. Extremely upset and disappointed and would love my money back

Desmond, sorry to hear about your issue. Unfortunately, you booked, but you didn't follow the instructions on how to play the game. We checked, and you received messages both by e-mail and in your TripAdvisor inbox. Sorry for this, and hope to see you some other time playing with us. In the meantime, we processed the refund.
