Best reward was my teenager’s smile 😃
The hunt had my teen quickly engaged while we worked the clues. Even though we got off track around the FBI building clue, we found our way back to continue on. For an adventure that keep my teen engaged, you get four stars. Minus one for typos through out the clues.

Inaccurate but Fun
There are many typos and inaccuracies throughout the tour (confusing 1858 with 1958, confusing teddy Roosevelt with fdr, cypher direction being outright inaccurate, some landmarks being removed), but they made us laugh really hard so we didn't care. If they decide to have the tour proofread, I'd love to help.

Minute clues, unsuccessful hunt
The scavenger hunt gave too many obscure clues. We were 2 adults and 2 young teens who had never been to DC before. I thought this would give us an overall view of the Mall. This hunt was for people familiar with DC. It was also freezing so we couldn’t spend a long time looking for clues.The man whom you called with questions was very helpful.

Fun times
Really enjoyed this self paced tour. 2.5 mile walking loop, just enough to leave us wanting more and tired out simultaneity.
