My mum and I did the Hobart Scavenger Hunt on our holiday and it felt like being on The Amazing Race TV Show. The app was really easy to use and the challenges were great. It was a fun way to see the city and solve puzzles at the same time. Also we started our hunt in the morning but hadn't finished it as we had another engagement to go to in the afternoon and we were able to pause the hunt and restart it again from where we left off a few hours later and completed the hunt which was great.
