5.00We really enjoyed this adventure. At first i thought it would not take the full 120 minutes but it did! It was fun to pay attention to the details around Gastown that normally we would not notice. We had dim sum nearby first then began the game. The clues were well presented but pay attention to the small details in these clues!
