Small learning curve. The neighborhood was rough. The game ended up being tons of fun though. I'd like to see the ability to add a timer while taking the profile pic. We couldn't take a team picture, with the entire team. The spots were not design in a way that made walking to them easy. An example would be gated communities. One suspect would be inside the community, while others would be on the other side of the fenced community. Making the walking distance much longer and inconvenient.

Great idea, terrible execution. - There's no relationship at all between the locations you go to and the story in the app, so all the walking required is purely a way to pad the "game time" and adds nothing to the game experience. You're just running around looking at your phone. - The game happened in a part of town where I would not feel safe walking around with kids. I don't think the people who make the games actually scope out the location. - The "puzzles" are poorly written and most of them made no sense in the context of the game. - Most of the pre-selected questions you could ask witnesses were completely useless, and even the ones that seemed relevant rarely yielded useful information in their answers. Same for the Informants. Aside from a few inconsistencies in the narrative, the actual story was decent. Enough pieces scattered around in various interactions to give you several paths to find the answer without making it too obvious. Two stars for at least getting that part right.

Great idea, but absolutely HORRIBLE location services. GPS dot kept bouncing around by several blocks, making it impossible to get to some of the locations. Every team we talked to was frustrated by this and one quit (we were close to quitting too). Has to take time penalties to access some locations due to the poor location services
