“I expected this to be a true scavenger hunt, searching for clues to progress. Instead, it felt more like a series of photo opportunities around town, accompanied by facts about each location. It might be enjoyable for families with young children, but it lacks the challenge that adults would look for.”— CarleyB814 on the Scavenger hunt through Columbus landmarks tour
