Ratings and reviews

If you're going to invest the time to go to the Mall, this app could make your visit more worthwhile. It's inspiring to just be at these monuments. But I was surprised how much more I saw when it led me to actually LOOK at them. Trying to answer the questions, I began to appreciate how much these statues and structures have to say. Weeks later, I still remember the details it showed me. And the last answer at the first location ... no, I won't spoil it for you.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! What a wonderful experience with insightful and fun clues. l had a ton of fun and learned much!

It's super fun and is a great way to explore the monuments and memorials around the reflection pool!
