"Had a great time with my daughter. The clue writer is awesome. "
"It was an awesome time! Very entertaining and a good activity to get everyone out of the house. Interested in doing one of the treasure quests!"
"We did this one with my 13 yr old son and 18 yr old son who was in from college for the weekend and had a blast. The youngest had the most fun when he was able to take the phone and lead us around the park to find each of the clues. We love to get out and hunt for geocaches and this was a great way to stay outside and mix things up a bit. The whole thing is well put together and well thought out. Thank you to whomever took the time to put this together; we're looking forward to participating in many more."
