Seattle Space Needle: Time Travel Puzzle Quest

Difficulty finding the instructions once we signed up - they were not clear, and we just kept being sent to the same page, essentially going in circles for about an hour. Customer service was great - they were prompt and helpful. That's about the only positive I have to share. When my partner went to download the trip instructions, they wanted all his information, rather than mine (I was the one who signed up/paid). He chose not to have it on his phone, because they wanted too much info. So we just used the one phone (we paid for two, which it turns out we didn't need to). The path on which we were directed had outdated information - there was a point where we would have had to pay $40 each to get close enough to the point where we could unlock the next destination, because the ticket booths had been moved to a gate outside of a building that we would have had to go inside. (Customer service helped us bypass, but we never did see the item we were searching for). The directions were not clear in some stages. They had us walking down a path, and stopping at a sculpture. Then the instructions said to keep walking. Turns out instead of continuing on in the direction we had been walking, we actually had to turn back. There was a LOT of backtracking. The tour was supposed to take 60-90 minutes. I'm not a fast walker, so we allowed ourselves about 2 - 2 1/4 hours. no. It took us over 4 hours from start to finish, what with all the stopping for customer service, backtracking, problem solving, etc. We saw nothing new on the tour that we could not have seen without the tour - nothing. We were highly disappointed.

It was alright. You certainly get what you pay for. 100% my fault, but I've done self-guided tours like this in the past and expected something more based on the history and culture of the city. It's more (as it states) like a variety of puzzles and riddles that take you to some nice places in Downtown. I still had a lot of fun with it, and the app lets you get hints or directions if you need them. Since I was in a bit of a hurry, this came in handy as it helped me avoid taking too much time. One thing that made me feel uncomfortable was that one of the locales asked me to walk right into the center of a children's playground. As a 35 year old male with no kids...that felt inappropriate. The hint luckily helped me solve this part without having to walk into the playground and I get that it's tough designing a tour that works for everyone though. Overall, if you've got an hour or two to kill, it's a nice time-killer, especially for the price.

This was a delightful way to learn about how the 1962 Worlds Fair impacted Seattle and how the impacts are lasting to this day. There are many stops along this tour that will make you want to enjoy other attractions (and feel free to do so). We decided to complete the walk and make notes of things we would love to do for our next Seattle trip. All of the puzzles are easy to understand and manage. This really takes as long as you want it to depending on your walking speed, ingenuity and puzzle-solving prowess, and willingness to continue. A very fun way to spend some time outdoors with family, friends, or solo and explore such a beautiful city.

Well organized. Good exercise if both mind and body. The game creators have chosen landmarks and plaques that are permanent and easy to find but not as easy to solve.

We really enjoyed walking about the city of Seattle while using your walking tour app. We found things in the city we may not have discovered. I would highly recommend your app if you are unsure of what to do upon arrival in a new destination. We plan to return to some of the places to relax/explore further during our stay. The price to use the self-guided walking tour was well worth the journey.

A great activity to visit and learn more about the city. The duration is perfect not too long. The questions are a mixture of observation and intelligence.

We enjoyed this walking tour a lot - it gave a great overview of the area with plenty of knowledge to be learned. Found some hidden gems too which would have remained hidden if we hadn’t done the tour! The clues were a bit tricky at times, but the option to get a hint usually solved it! You can go at your own pace and it took us about an hour and a half. Will definitely do another as these appear to be in lots of cities.

We had a blast the clues were imaginative and just tricky enough to give us a pause. Very fun. Learned some cool stuff and some hidden points of interest I really hadn't noticed before.

This tour was delightful. The visited sites were beautiful and historically significant. Layout and route was well thought out. The storyline, clues, and games were a perfect balance of whimsical fun and satisfying information. Well done. Still smiling.
