### 1/5 — Avoid at all costs!

*2026-08-09, version 15.5.0*

Super buggy and borderline scammy. Started a hunt with colleagues, wanted to add another colleague. Went round in circles in the app, and eventually found that I needed to buy an additional ticket to assign to a new user. Bought the ticket, when attempting to assign was shown ‘undefined’ for the share code. Reached out to support and was told the ticket I had purchased could not be used for this. Asked for the ticket to be refunded multiple times and have been ignored. They do not follow the Apple Developer guidelines and process payments outside of the Apple flow, therefore Apple are declining to provide any support. Aside from this, and the many other bugs within the app, the hunt experience was definitely lacking, and seemed to be heavily team photo based, which isn’t particularly helpful with a camera shy team

### 1/5 — Fraudulent practices

*2026-08-06, version 15.5.0*

This company is dismal… they make it virtually impossible to cancel “membership”.

### 3/5 — Fun but…

*2026-08-05, version 15.5.0*

As soon as I opened the app, it started asking me to buy more tickets. I hadn’t even begun to head for the area we were going to start in and it was asking me to buy more tickets. 

And then it would ask for a rating every time I change screens. It honestly could use a little more accuracy on the locations but overall it was a lot of fun and a great way to explore the area you are headed to or find yourself in. 

It appears the only way I’m going to be able to turn it completely off. Is to remove it because it’ll be a while before I use it again.

### 2/5 — South Haven Let’s Roam

*2026-07-25, version 15.5.0*

First, the app is terrible.   Hard to find where you are supposed to go. For many of the questions  you are supposed to answer, half of the words are cut off.  Starting place was a made up address.  It took us 45 minutes to actually get started and the first stop was a store.  Why?  One of the stops was permanently closed and looked like it had been for a while.  I think you get the idea.  
I gave it one extra star because we did it with my 7 year old grandson and he had fun, although I will take credit for a lot of that because we were enthusiastic and I brought prizes.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-23, version 15.5.0*

Doesn’t work at all. Avoid.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-07-20, version 15.5.0*

After you have paid the high price and clicked on the hundreds of popups / adverts and actually started the tour it’s not very good. Probably AI generated or a least written by someone who has never been to the location. Questions are dull and pins are in the wrong places.

### 5/5 — Scavenger hunts

*2026-07-18, version 15.5.0*

Brilliant fun to make a day out even greater

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-13, version 15.5.0*

AVOID!!!! It’s a bait and switch. You think you’re getting something for $12.99, but then they upsell the whole time to the point where you end up paying 4x the price and the actual scavenger hunt is disappointing. And they see impossible with refunds. Terrible!!

### 1/5 — UNEXPECTED CHARGE

*2026-07-11, version 15.5.0*

Tried this app out with a free trial (did not even finish the scavenger hunt) and asked to cancel the membership. Agent said I would not be charged and then charged me a week later.

### 3/5 — Disappointed

*2026-06-27, version 15.5.0*

Some points on the hunts are not updated.  Understandable but some of the wrong clues have been changed or missing for a long time.  

They need to change the map so hunts completed are easily identified.  For example, change the color  or use some easily recognized marker.
