This was an OK experience but some of the questions were confusing and should be updated to clarify them.
Hello! We are talking about puzzles, of course they should be a bit confusing, this is the definition.
We went on a family treasure hunt in Syracuse, making the tour fun for everyone. I'll start over in Palermo.
