### 5/5 — Family Fun in DC

*2021-10-15, version 1.0*

Great fun app to learn about monuments while in DC. Provides adventure and knowledge of monuments that one might not get just walking around alone.  Kids were entertained and interested in each clue.

### 5/5 — A must do!

*2021-10-15, version 1.0*

I was in DC with my family walking around the National Mall. We heard somebody talking about this and decided to try it… so much fun!! They were running from monument to monument looking for the answers (even got a little competitive!) to the riddles and didn’t realize they were learning along the way! Highly recommend!!

### 5/5 — So much fun!

*2021-10-13, version 1.0*

I had a great time completing the scavenger hunt with friends of all ages! It was full of adventure, history, and plenty of fun facts. Perfect activity for a nice day in DC!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-10-12, version 1.0*

A lot of fun for kids and tourists

### 5/5 — City Fun !!

*2021-10-12, version 1.0*

A great fun game for all ages . You can experience the DC history while learning many interesting unique facts about the Memorials. I would recommend for anyone who likes adventure. The length of the scavenger hunt was perfect !

### 5/5 — Family fun for all ages!

*2021-10-12, version 1.0*

I played with my husband and 3 kids (ages 4-8) and we all had a ball! It was great to see the monuments in new ways and discover exciting new details we had never noticed before. A great little adventure for all!

### 5/5 — Perfect Group Acticity

*2021-10-12, version 1.0*

This was such a fun activity to do with a group! As someone who grew up in the DC area, this scavenger hunt took me to places I’d never been before. It was a blast getting to walk around the national mall!

### 5/5 — Capital Clues is a fun way to learn about the National Mall with friends and family!

*2021-10-11, version 1.0*

Based on how easy the app is to use, the fun and interesting questions about the monuments, and the way you can compete against friends and families, I have to give Capital Clues 5 stars! Highly suggested for those interested in history or up for a challenge.

### 5/5 — What a great find!!

*2021-10-11, version 1.0*

What a great find! As someone who enjoys traveling, walking and seeing as much as possible in every new city, and learning something new whenever I can, this is the perfect DC game to mix those interests!

Great game to play with a group of friends or family and as someone that actually lives in DC I played with a group of friends and really enjoyed the friendly competition and exploration in the National Mall. It also seems like the creator is constantly making the game more fun. They introduced a new scoreboard feature that makes running around and exploring even more fun! Most try!!!

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2021-10-10, version 1.0*

If you go to the Capital. Yii oh I must play capital clues. You don’t have to be a historian or even that smart. If you like playing games and are a bit competitive. This is for you. Put on your walking shoes and have fun. My team didn’t win. Still a lot of fun. And you will learn things as you go without even knowing it

### 5/5 — Perfect for groups of all skill & size!

*2021-10-10, version 1.0*

It’s been a while since I’ve really explored the National Mall and DC sights and this was the PERFECT activity for my friends and family - we started out together through the scavenger hunt and clues and eventually made our own adventure throughout the mall. We loved the family-friendly (but still SO interesting!!) clues and challenges and especially enjoyed the fun sneaky clues/pictures throughout. Super easy to download & follow along. Definitely recommend for your next gathering!! I’d love to see this app in other cities.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-10-10, version 1.0*

Will definitely be using this app for monument tours with visiting friends and family!

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2021-10-10, version 1.0*

A great way to spend some time outside around the monuments and learn some fun facts. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Unexpected experience

*2021-10-10, version 1.0*

Went to DC with my family knowing a lot about American history, but wanting to learn more. This app was not only very informative, but also interactive. I highly recommend this app its family friendly, fun, and you visit the monuments in a timely manner! It’s a five star app!

### 5/5 — First trip to DC!

*2021-10-10, version 1.0*

Great idea! It was so much fun using the app to take a deeper look at the monuments and statues. There is a map for first timers (which helped a lot) and hints if you get stumped. Challenging, insightful, and an absolute must.  There is also a competitive aspect of the game where you can play with teams! Overall, 10/10 would recommend.

### 5/5 — A “must do” when in DC!

*2021-10-09, version 1.0*

My family and I had SO much fun solving all of these clues!! It felt almost like an outdoor escape room. A great way to see the mall and also learn a lot. I’ve lived here five years and didn’t know majority of the fun facts. Would definitely recommend!!!

### 5/5 — Great way to spend the afternoon

*2021-10-08, version 1.0*

I’ll admit, I was a skeptic at first — but our group of 16 had a blast doing this scavenger hunt. Learned lots of neat tidbits about the national mall in the process. 10/10 would recommend!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 4/5 — Fun way to explore with new eyes!

*2022-07-11, version 1.0*

Two DC friends and I did the Lincoln-to-Washington course today and it was a great way to look closely at lesser-known memorials and monuments and discover some surprising details at the famous ones we’ve passed a lot before. 
The app is still new and there’s room for improvement but it’s clever and enjoyable!

### 5/5 — Fun way to see a city!

*2026-07-13, version 1.0*

This was such a fun and active way to learn more about Brooklyn!! 

Finding out the history of my favorite sites was such a special treat! It’s the perfect length to keep you interested and engaged.

### 5/5 — Great Balance of Fun and Tricky

*2026-07-13, version 1.0*

### 5/5 — Great Scavenger Hunt!

*2025-05-05, version 1.0*

### 5/5 — Lots of fun

*2022-07-10, version 1.0*

I played with my two kids and we had a blast. The clues were challenging but not frustrating. We saw little parts of the memorials that we hadn’t noticed before. We can’t wait to do another hunt!

### 5/5 — Great activity!

*2022-07-10, version 1.0*

The hunt wasn’t too short or too long, there wasn’t an excessive amount of walking either. The questions weren’t too easy or too hard, but very well crafted and had you looking at new bits of information and learning new things! This was a great pastime and I recommend it to most everyone!

### 5/5 — Phenomenal Fun

*2022-05-26, version 1.0*

Found this app, when searching for something to do. And I gotta say it’s a great way to spend a weekend afternoon in the District. A lot of fun to do with family or a date. Furthermore, it’s a very user friendly app, that has had a lot more UI improvements since I first used it, and another course! It really feels like you’re in National Treasure as you’re walking the mall searching for clues. 10/10 would recommend.

### 5/5 — AMAZING GAME! A MUST DO IN DC!

*2022-05-22, version 1.0*

Such a great activity for friends and family. Very informative and great for exploring the DC area/monuments!

### 5/5 — Fun way to hang out with friends

Fun way to learn about the National mall and have fun with other people at the same time.
