If it is cold and dark and you do not know the area it is difficult because we did not know the area
Hi there! Thank you for the review of the North End Boston Mafia tour. We are sorry to hear the weather and darkness made things difficult! ❄️ Navigating a brand new area in the cold can definitely be a challenge. We appreciate you braving the elements to give it a try, and we hope you get the chance to experience another quest on a warmer, sunnier day. Thanks for choosing Questo!
The North End is an old favorite area of Boston for me and my sweetheart. We enjoy taking a break from our Questo adventure to try new pastries and eat some classic Italian dishes. We always make a day of it when we go into a city and play a Questo game. We have done 6 different adventures and repeat our favorites. I love keeping my mins sharp with puzzles, staying fit walking around the city and using fun voices to read aloud the characters. My weekend adventures feel more complete with Questo!

We are delighted that the North End Mafia Quest and your other adventures have become a favorite way to explore, stay active, and have fun together.

Very good concept. Mostly good implementation of a scavenger hunt. There were inaccuracies regarding a couple of the "quests." Other than that, a mostly entertaining few hours.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We're glad you enjoyed the concept and found the experience entertaining. We appreciate your feedback on the quest inaccuracies—it's valuable for refining our future games. If you have any other comments or suggestions, feel free to reach out.
we’ve been to Boston many times because we live 22 miles away but this exploration game was so unique and fun and we found out new things about this city that we love so much! We enjoyed it even more than we thought we would! Very cool experience

We explored much more of the North End than ever before. Getting the QR code, email link/address and downloading/configuring the Questo app wasn’t as smooth as I had hoped.

As a guided walking tour, I’d give it a 4/5. It was a fun way to explore the North End and provided some interesting narration about the locations and the area’s history. (Note that despite the mafia theme, the route covers more general history and sights in the neighborhood.) As a puzzle game, I’d give it a 3/5. A few of the clues and directions need updates, but we were able to find our way in the end. The puzzles were mostly fairly straightforward, but we ended up stumped by the last one and gave up. After seeing the answer, I’m not sure if it was another case of things being out of date or if we were supposed to somehow know pre-Roman Italian history. The story was fine, but I think it was left a bit unresolved. Or maybe we missed something in our failure to solve the last puzzle. Sadly it was a disappointing way to end an otherwise enjoyable and informative little tour.
Great fun!! Interesting sights along the way!!! Some clues were difficult to solve but overall we loved it!!!! You’ll thoroughly enjoy this game.

Great way to see Interesting quirky places in the city…love it, Took away one star because some of the clues were difficult. Some of the signs were a different color, so it made it a tad frustrating at times. Other than that it was amazing fun. Would definitely recommend it.!!
