I chose this game because I was curious to see what the adventure pack was like and how they made use of an outdoor public space. the puzzles were fun and the course was well laid out. my friend would have liked the AR components to be stronger, but I was happy with them as they were. If you're looking for a very tense high pressure immersion experience, this is not the game for you. if you want a pleasant journey with some fun puzzles, absolutely do this.
Gameplay
the adventure pack was a fun thing to have with us on our journey, and the course flowed well over the terrain.
Atmosphere
since it's an outdoor game, the atmosphere is whatever it is. the props we carried were fun and well-designed.
Customer service
the staff and home space were very welcoming. since the game itself was outside, we did not have contact with a GM.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
most of the games I design are for outdoor spaces, so it was extremely interesting to play an outdoor game played on a very public field.
Story
Difficulty
Medium
part of the difficulty was just in navigation over a large space, which raises the difficulty significantly for people with mobility challenges.
Game tech
High tech
use of AR makes the "unseen world" seen. fun.
Ideal number of players
2
we played with two, but it would have been fun solo, or with a small group. it's hard to find a game that would be fun (or possible) solo, so it's nice to have this choice.
Scary
Not scary
Minimum age
9
most of the game would be suitable for young children, but one or two of the puzzles require attention span and reading comprehension, so if the group expectation is the youngest one can solve all the things, don't bring little ones. If your little ones are just happy to be on an adventure, bring 'em.

lots of walking on easy but uneven terrain, as described.
Accessibility
I have limited mobility on foot. I knew there would be walking ahead of time, and planned for it. it was challenging for me, but doable and satisfying. This would MOSTLY be possible for a person in a wheelchair but take a lot longer on account of needing to keep to pavement. if I recall correctly, one stop requires more than a few steps onto grass, so a standard chair probably wouldn't reach that puzzle. Some of the props and tech would be difficult for low vision people, especially on sunny days.
Easy to find location
Yes
Parking
Limited
downtown Boston. 'nuff sed.
