| - My girlfriend planned this activity after hearing that it was a good experience from her cousin, and wow, I am so glad that she took his advice! At first sight, it was kind of shady looking. It was in a rather deserted area away from the strip and it was in this little dinky building, but in the end it totally added to the ambiance of the experience.
When we first walked in the door, I was a bit skeptical because it was very small and nothing stood out too much and there were only two people running the establishment. After going through the rules (one of which includes 'no alcohol'), we met with the other group that would be joining us. The other group was a lot older than us (grandma/grandpa status) and I'm telling you this for a reason which I will explain soon.
After that, we headed out to various locations in a shuttle. The shuttle had a broken air conditioner which totally sucked because of the 100+ degree temperature at the time. However, I will not deduct this from the overall rating because it was totally bearable and the overall experience was much more gratifying. The shuttle was well equipped with some light snacks and Max, our 'tour guide,' made sure that we were always comfortable with our food and beverages. Max was always very attentive to the details of the story and world that they built around this adventure so he would always be able to answer questions in ways that didn't give TOO much away with the puzzles and secrets (most of the time anyway).
My word of advice for this activity is to play along and have fun. Don't be a killjoy and just not have fun because you'll ruin it for everyone else. Also, make sure you communicate with your ENTIRE group or else you might not be able to put some important pieces together. About my comment earlier about the older half of the group, they were totally fun to have along and we all served our individual purposes to solving the mystery and this was all because we had fun with one another and we communicated our findings.
In the end, they gave us a prize for our hard work (a choice of some DVDs or PC games) and to be honest, it wasn't such a great perk but I think we all would've been super happy even without this gift. I suggest this activity to everyone. It's a great group activity.
