Summary: I was looking for a fun engaging outdoor activity to do with my teen son (14) and dog and came across this campus adventure. The 'scavenger hunt' style caper featured clues and directions that were just the right balance of challenging and solve-able. Along the way, we got to see the beautiful Stanford campus in a unique way on what proved to be a gorgeous day. We shared laughs and high-fives and had a great bonding experience. I'd definielty recommend this for families of all ages, couples, friends or anyone who wants to do a fun walk while solving a caper with fun clues.
