Rallye needs quality control and updates

I really like the idea and concept. Unfortunately, many answers were not findable anymore, also there was a mistake in a riddle and we had a few mistakes I believe because we were using the French version.

So by the end, it was getting a little frustrating to get many mistakes accounted although we had the correct answers.

Rallye: Trois-Rivières, Québec, Canada

Bonjour Jonathan, quel circuit avec vous complété afin qu'on puisse le réviser?
Merci pour la précision. Nos circuits sont identiques en français et en anglais, testés et mis à jour en même temps. Nous allons revoir à nouveau ce circuit, que nous avons pourtant testé l'été passé.

It was fun

We had a lot of fun to do the Scavenger Hunt. We were 7 people and it was a wonderful way to experience Toronto. It reminded a bit on those days when we were kids and young.

Discovery and learning

Having worked in and visited Toronto for obverse 20 years, I found, saw and learned things I didn't know that I didn't know.
It was an excellent way for my wife and I to spend a couple of hours on an afternoon.

Great way to tour Sydney, NS!

It was a great way to tour Sydney, NS and discover some of its past. When we went in September 2023, the streets are being torn up for major construction, and some sidewalks were marked closed, (even when they weren't!), so it was a bit difficult to navigate some if the directions in the hunt. We did go astray, but managed to figure it out. The first question seems obscure, because we couldn't find the name of the author of the quote on the signage or by Google, but perhaps we should have been looking elsewhere?

Such a fun family experience!

We loved this! So great for all ages! Loved the way we could learn all about the area while navigating and exploring! Would absolutely do something from them again.

Good concept, poor execution

Old Quebec City Tour: Indications were unclear, answers had to be entered twice before they registered as correct, two of the buildings that were supposed to hold a clue have been torn down… we went about a third of the way before giving up because honestly we weren’t having fun.

May we ask which tour you were on so we can look into correcting it?

FUN BUT NEEDS UPDATES

It was fun but the questions need to be updated. A mural that was once painted on the side of a building has been painted over! A newspaper company no longer occupies a building it did when the questions were made. The name of the first Moncton mayor was entered incorrectly into the game so when we entered his name correctly, it said we were wrong! Other than the activity needing to be updated, it was a fun experience! This company sells scavenger hunts for various cities. This experience makes me wonder how many if the other hunts may need updates too!

Great variation on a self-guided tour

Two of us did the Chelsea, New York, hunt. This is a great variation on a self guided tour. The directions are clear, and the app does a great job of giving context and history on the sights. I especially enjoyed that photo taking was integrated and I didn’t have to access my camera app separately. The “scavenger hunt” doesn’t add a lot - it’s mostly “what are you looking at?” via “what words do you see” or “how many X are there?” but it DOES make you pay closer attention and notice some things you might otherwise not. I’ve done similar walks/“hunts” from other companies and I thought this one was the most well done.

Fun, great way to explore the city

Fun, great way to explore the city. I would have liked to see more details or links to information for the things on the hunt. I ended up doing that myself once I found an objective

Out of date clues

Hollywood LA tour: The hunt has not been updated for a few years. At least 3 locations were no longer accessible or in business.

Cool Idea for a Day in the City

This was a really cool idea for a way to spend the day in the city. Learned some history and learned to navigate the area. Takes you around all the hot spots, and shows you things you might not have noticed.

There were just a lot of stops and it was a hot day, so near the end we skipped past some. I recommend taking a break at Bridgehead when it comes up in the hunt. Sometimes the directions weren't super clear in the instructions and we found ourselves backtracking or finding another way to get to where we were told.

Directionally Challenged

While the weather contributed to our doomed day, this app was terrible compared to others in the same space. There were no GPS coordinates, the written guidance was bad (not even N/S/E/W or Left/Right style direction), I can't imagine trying to complete this when the sidewalks were crowded! We bailed on the whole thing after 8 stops (of 49). It should be fun, not frustrating.

Thank you for your feedback. Can you specify which tour this was for so we can make it better? We endeavour to always use N/S/E/W and Left/Right relative to a building or monument in our directions.
Update - Thanks for specifying. We've now reviewed and updated all directions on this tour for others to enjoy.
