As a guided walking tour, I’d give it a 4/5. It was a fun way to explore the North End and provided some interesting narration about the locations and the area’s history. (Note that despite the mafia theme, the route covers more general history and sights in the neighborhood.) As a puzzle game, I’d give it a 3/5. A few of the clues and directions need updates, but we were able to find our way in the end. The puzzles were mostly fairly straightforward, but we ended up stumped by the last one and gave up. After seeing the answer, I’m not sure if it was another case of things being out of date or if we were supposed to somehow know pre-Roman Italian history. The story was fine, but I think it was left a bit unresolved. Or maybe we missed something in our failure to solve the last puzzle. Sadly it was a disappointing way to end an otherwise enjoyable and informative little tour.

Great way to see Interesting quirky places in the city…love it, Took away one star because some of the clues were difficult. Some of the signs were a different color, so it made it a tad frustrating at times. Other than that it was amazing fun. Would definitely recommend it.!!
