    Cute little adventure
    It was alright. You certainly get what you pay for. 100% my fault, but I've done self-guided tours like this in the past and expected something more based on the history and culture of the city. It's more (as it states) like a variety of puzzles and riddles that take you to some nice places in Downtown. I still had a lot of fun with it, and the app lets you get hints or directions if you need them. Since I was in a bit of a hurry, this came in handy as it helped me avoid taking too much time. One thing that made me feel uncomfortable was that one of the locales asked me to walk right into the center of a children's playground. As a 35 year old male with no kids...that felt inappropriate. The hint luckily helped me solve this part without having to walk into the playground and I get that it's tough designing a tour that works for everyone though. Overall, if you've got an hour or two to kill, it's a nice time-killer, especially for the price.

    Very fun tour!
    This was a delightful way to learn about how the 1962 Worlds Fair impacted Seattle and how the impacts are lasting to this day. There are many stops along this tour that will make you want to enjoy other attractions (and feel free to do so). We decided to complete the walk and make notes of things we would love to do for our next Seattle trip. All of the puzzles are easy to understand and manage. This really takes as long as you want it to depending on your walking speed, ingenuity and puzzle-solving prowess, and willingness to continue. A very fun way to spend some time outdoors with family, friends, or solo and explore such a beautiful city.

    Scavenger hunt on a rainy Seattle day
    Well organized. Good exercise if both mind and body. The game creators have chosen landmarks and plaques that are permanent and easy to find but not as easy to solve.

    Amazingly Fun Time
    We really enjoyed walking about the city of Seattle while using your walking tour app. We found things in the city we may not have discovered. I would highly recommend your app if you are unsure of what to do upon arrival in a new destination. We plan to return to some of the places to relax/explore further during our stay. The price to use the self-guided walking tour was well worth the journey.

    Gives a great overview of the area
    We enjoyed this walking tour a lot - it gave a great overview of the area with plenty of knowledge to be learned. Found some hidden gems too which would have remained hidden if we hadn’t done the tour! The clues were a bit tricky at times, but the option to get a hint usually solved it! You can go at your own pace and it took us about an hour and a half. Will definitely do another as these appear to be in lots of cities.

    Self guided tour worth the time
    We had a blast the clues were imaginative and just tricky enough to give us a pause. Very fun. Learned some cool stuff and some hidden points of interest I really hadn't noticed before.

    This tour was delightful. The visited sites were beautiful and historically significant. Layout and route was well thought out. The storyline, clues, and games were a perfect balance of whimsical fun and satisfying information. Well done. Still smiling.

"It could be more engaging," said the 14 year old.
Online support staff was great unraveling an error in logon info, but it took1.5 hours to do so.
You need to download an app, so only those in your group with an app should need to pay. For 1 adult and 4 kids, $45, was way too much and we quit after 5 of the 10 clues.
We liked the starting point. A national park in downtown Seattle! They offer a free 1 hour wallking tour.
We were disappointed.

Allow extra time at the first station for Questo to unlock the app. It took the operator over 15 min to do this in my case. The concept of the game is good. You need to have clear sense of directions as in north east south west before you can folllow the directions. I enjoyed it but took over 2 hours to complete.

This is a leisurely walk through downtown Seattle as directed via instructions on your mobile device. The biggest challenge was getting to the starting point - it was a gorgeous day and we decided to walk. Google map instructions are not as clear as the ones provided in the game. We got exercise, enjoyed an absolutely gorgeous day and learned a little more about Seattle. As an added bonus, about halfway through the tour, there is an Irish pub to take a break and enjoy a pint before finishing your journey. There are a couple of others here and many more worldwide that we most definitely will do if we find ourselves with some time in those cities.

The Sky View Observatory is awesome. Higher then the Space Needle. The Pike Place could use more vendors selling crafts then selling food. Love it thou. Places close down way too early like at 7pm for some reason.

This was a fun and inexpensive way to experience the city and learn more about Seattle history along the way. A few stops were more challenging then others and required the use of extra clues, but we enjoyed the adventure.

A great way to see a city on your own time. We had a good time puzzling out the clues which ranged from easy to pretty hard. I will definitely be trying this app in another city.

Fun little adventure in and around downtown Seattle. Completed this past weekend with our family of 6. Great clues and educational too. It took us a little more than an hour to do.
