We tried this in Houston for my husband’s birthday, and we abandoned it after the 3rd “challenge.”

Downtown Houston is way too dangerous for this game because you have to be staring at your phone instead of being aware of your surroundings. If you’re doing this in another city, check out the area ahead of time.

The game itself was poorly written, silly, and unfun. And by silly, I don’t mean cheesy. We were expecting good cheesy fun. I mean incomprehensible and dumb.

The “challenges” were weird and unrelated to the story line. For example, at a fountain with swordfish statues jumping out of it, the challenge question was, “What is jumping out of the fountain?” The answer was “fish.” But that word did not relate to the next stop or the next clue in any way.

Also, the payment system is confusing and misleading. You pay for charms that you use toward purchasing games. You have to buy more charms than what you need for the game. I don’t understand why you can’t just pay for a game.

I don’t normally give things 1 star, but I couldn’t find anything redeeming about this app.

The directions were terrible and misleading. We talked to a security guard at one building (where people were NOT supposed to go) who had been getting groups all night because the directions were so terrible. They asked me to write a review of their game and I did but then they filter the reviews you see. Mine is not up there.

I wrote to them to ask why my review wasn’t being shown and they didn’t get back to me.

I like the concept but they’re not putting any work into making it actually work.

Based on the description, I thought this would be an immersive Wizard of Oz experience in downtown Charleston. I was disappointed there weren’t any signs, decorations, people/characters working the route, or any way to tell who fellow players were unless they were in a certain location looking down at their phones. The stops weren’t thoughtfully picked & weren’t based on a landmark or park, or somewhere convenient to stand around & solve puzzles. Several of the stops were on busy streets with lots of pedestrians and you had to try to not be in their way as you solved the puzzles. With no signs about the Wizard of Oz, no one knew that’s why people were standing around on their phones or that’s the reason why some people were dressed up. The game is played individually, so it doesn’t matter if you have teammates or not; it would have been fun if it was tailored to the number of people playing.
This has an opportunity to be something really fun, with a lot of hype (if people knew it was going on) & it completely missed the mark. Paying $40 to solve 16 puzzles is steep & I expected more of an experience for that price. Unless something changes, I wouldn’t recommend doing this for $40.
