“It was a great activity to do with our older kids and allowed us to participate together to solve the puzzles. The weather was super hot in Austin but appreciated that there was an indoor portion that allowed us to cool off. Would have liked to also see UT but understand that it may have been too far. Would definitely do it again in another city!”

“You pay money to download an app that is so complicated to use, then it asks you trivia questions that you can find for free on the internet. It doesn't even guide you where to go you just have to guess.. complete waste of money. Also it's a pay per person price which I didn't understand since it's one app..”
