Summary:
The overall event was fun. The hosts were interactive and supportive over WhatsApp. This gets 4 instead of 5 stars because two locations on this hunt are no longer present (a piece of art that has been removed and a shop that is permanently closed). This experience needs an update.

Summary:
A fun outdoor adventure. Park near the Mem Union and spend the next few hours on foot, in and out of various venues in the heart of Madison. Follow the quest provided at the start time for some video and knowledge challenges. You receive destinations but there are always options so you can make the time your own. We did this in winter and dressed appropriately it was a terrific way to enjoy the season and sites.
