We had so much fun doing this city scavenger hunt! Even though we are locals, we saw the city in a way that we hadn’t before and we got to learn a lot of interesting facts along the way! We are excited to do another tour!

I was expecting the usual fare with this quest, but instead of repeating what we've all heard about Columbus and Ben Franklin, I was pleasantly surprised that it took me to Elfreth's Alley, Chinatown, and the Whispering Bells, among other fascinating locations. The quest is definitely a workout - plan for a couple hours of hiking around the city - but it keeps you near the same vicinity, which is fantastic. It's a brain workout, too. Some clues are easy, and some are downright challenging! All in all, it was a fun afternoon spent learning and pretending to be on an Indiana Jones-style mission.
