We had such a fun time exploring Cleveland and completing this murder mystery!! We did this as a family for my mom's birthday (all adults - though I think kids would have fun with this too). We loved that we were able to go at our own pace and take our time solving the clues. The instructions and guidance from Escapley were fabulous and they included hints that you could choose whether or not to use so the difficulty level was perfect and very flexible. This was a great way to spend an afternoon together and have a lot of fun!

We had a great time on Sunday afternoon, nice weather, a fun group of 2 families. Really nice game design! We especially enjoyed visiting parts of our own city we didn't know in detail. The first lock puzzle was hard 'Constant Letters'. We solved it after about an hour without help from hints.. My only comment is that it took us about 6 hours, not 1 or 2 ! We did take an hour for dinner, though. Very enjoyable!

Cute experience with good thoughtful clues. But definitely overpriced. Probably worth more around $25-30. I would have balked but paid $50. $75 - waaay too much.

This was a great family activity to do in Cleveland. You get to be outside, see the sites and use your brain as you go. The quality of this game is great and the box of supplies you get are very well thought out and add a lot to the gaming experience. The puzzles are challenging but not impossible and you can get clues to help you along the way. The route the game takes is good as well, and there are plenty of spots to stop and take a break at. It really was a great afternoon that we all enjoyed!

The five of us had a great time exploring Playhouse Square, discovering public art and figuring out the puzzles. The integration with the website is seamless and eliminates any possible frustration--when we weren't sure what to do or what to look for, the hints were super helpful. This was a great way for the family--with members aged 12 to 79--to spend time together and see the city.

Everyone had a lot of fun and saw interesting sights along the way! One of the buildings we had to search had changed ownership so had a different name but we managed to figure it out!
