Overall the experience is fun - you see things you would never generally find without the hunt showing you! We only got 1/2 way through when we decided to shop instead :-), no fault to the hunt. Getting the website up and running was a bit challenging, but the support team was fantastic and helped us tremendously. There were a few errors with the hunt (should have said the item was between two streets but said it was after the two streets, said to count diamonds on a building, but should have said first floor of the building, etc), but nonetheless, the game was fun and we recommend.
