This was such a fun activity to do as a couple to ride around downtown! The clues and puzzles were great along with the puzzle masters. The experience was exactly what was explained on the website.
Our Puzzle Heist adventure was the highlight of our trip! It was so much fun and engaging. The clues were challenging but not so hard it was impossible. Our driver, Shawna, was amazing!
