Ratings and reviews

This experience was so much fun. I've seen a lot of "gamified" museum companions, but this is the first one that's really impressed me. I didn't quite "catch em all", but I enjoyed every minute.

I can barely catch it even when I'm aiming right at it. I do not recommend. Sometimes its very blurry too.

The arrows only work in some areas. In other areas it doesn't match up with what is in front of you at all. Likewise in some areas it's a little bit easier to place your net where you intend to. In other places it drops right beneath you or way behind you. It seems like it would be a really neat experience if it worked better.
