Fun, easy-paced & allowed our family (including our 7-year old) to participate. Sometimes there was a bit of walking between destinations, but the app made that clear ahead of time (overall the app was a good mix of informative and practical). Would have liked a couple more "additional" challenges texted to us, but what we did was good. A fun time :)

We had a great time doing the Philadelphia Hunt! I've recommended Big City Hunt to numerous people. We visit different cities throughout the year and will incorporate BCH when possible.
