This hunt involves finding various historic locations within a mile or so radius of downtown Glenwood Springs, and answering trivia questions or completing photo challenges at each site. (Let's Roam will try to tell you to pay $20 for each person participating, but you definitely don't need to do that. One phone per team will do just fine.)
The answers to the questions are all things clearly visible or written on the location. Distances were easily walkable. My group had assumed there would be navigation to lead us to the next stop, but there isn't -- you are just given a general vicinity and a picture of the building you're trying to find. However, walking around looking for the location ended up being our favorite part! It made it feel more like a hunt, especially since the "challenges" are quite easy. One of the buildings looked slightly different than the provided picture, and the description of the location of one of the plaques wasn't accurate, but we mostly didn't have trouble finding things.
However, the app itself is just... not great in some ways? It's not always intuitively designed and is glitchy at times. Here are the issues we noticed.
1: The app wouldn't allow us to "check in" at each location, even when we were standing on the sidewalk in front of the building and literally couldn't have gotten any closer. It kept saying we hadn't arrived, and we had to pick the "Check in anyway" option for fewer points. This was fine for us as a group of three pals doing some casual exploring, but if you were doing this hunt competitively with multiple teams, it could get pretty annoying to be constantly taking an undeserved points penalty.
2: The description/fun facts section for the Hotel Colorado listing is cut off mid-sentence, with no Read More or Expand option. I guess we'll never know what Al Capone used his secret passage for!
3: Some challenges require you to type in a multi-word answer into the supplied letter blanks. However, the text wrapping puts line breaks in the middle of words at times, making it appear that there are more words in an answer than there actually are. A little confusing, until we figured out it was just a quirk of the formatting.
Overall, we had a nice time using this hunt for a kind of guided wander around downtown Glenwood, but the app has some issues that would be especially annoying for competitive play.
