Such a fun way to experience the city! The ghost tour mixed a great story with local history, and the walking format made it feel social and lively. We learned a lot, enjoyed plenty of laughs, and had an all-around great time. Perfect for a fun night out!

The clues take you to interesting spots within the Lincoln Park area. The little riddles were nicely put together and made you discover more about the areas you visit. There was a bit of backtracking between the zoo and the conservatory because the connecting gate has been closed. The area for the last chapter was blocked off, but we were able to get close enough to finish out the story. The conservatory requires a reservation ahead of time, but is free. So be wary when booking.
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the clues and riddles around Lincoln Park. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the backtracking and the blocked-off area. We'll review these issues for a smoother experience. Your insights help us improve, and we're glad you could complete the story despite the minor hurdles.
This was worth the little money it cost. The download and getting ready was a bit of a hassle still worth it. We really enjoyed all of it up until the last clue that was not accessible anymore. However the help menu and chat from the app let us know what happened at the end. Would probably liked a big finish. Still lots of interesting facts and places we would have missed on our trip. I did report the issue so hopefully others won’t get to the last chapter and not be able to complete it as well.
Thanks for sharing! We're glad you found value in the activity despite the initial hiccups. Your feedback helps us improve for the future. Let us know if you have any questions or further feedback, we're available 24/7 at care@questoapp.com or via chat.
