internet is necessary to play this game. When I was able to connect the internet the game took you all over the place.I stopped playing after 2 items. The challenges did not make much sense. Here is an example: item 2 find a comfortable place to sleep in a new city. Find me then complete the following challenge. Snap a photo or video of a player, standing under a light as if coming up with a brilliant idea. If possible include the found item in the photo. It was a waste of money. Find something else to spend your time and money on.
