Forget the unproductive dating apps. Forget the apathetic movie dates. Forget the boring dinner dates. I think you get my point...Let’s Roam is the best way to meet your true love!!!My date Michel suggested Let’s Roam for our first date, and I had no idea what would possibly happen during a scavenger hunt. I expected that we would have a typical treasure map where we found random things...in attempts to keep ourselves busy and avoid the awkwardness of a first date. BUT I was SO wrong! Michel and I learned so much about the city I had lived in for years (when I thought I had known it all) and laughed the entire time from reading the quirky messages after solving each mission. Also, the romantic photo challenges allowed us to be closer and re-enact cute scenarios, and I now have several adorable photos of us that I will cherish forever! In addition to lots of laughter and wonderful photos, the challenges throughout the hunt helped facilitate meaningful conversations that helped us really get to know each other...and made me realize that I have finally found the one!Let’s Roam really exceeded my expectations in all aspects, and I can’t wait to explore more of world with my honey using this app! :) I hope you all get a chance to try it as well! Maybe you’ll find a new love, strengthen the relationships you already have made, or more!

I am not sure I have ever left an app review, but I had to for this one. My husband got this for my birthday. While at dinner we all opened the app and tried to join. There is so much other junk on the app not related to the event that it is difficult to figure out where to go for what you need. Not user friendly at all. We finally join but then all of us had issues. My app crashed every time I clicked the event button. Another friend couldn’t join at all. My husband finally got the first bar so we walked over and got a drink. We decided to just do the challenges he was seeing since no one else could join, but the camera feature was horrible. It was grainy and super zoomed in when taking a selfie. It rejected every picture we tried to take as “not what they are looking for”. We finally called the help line. Spent 20 minutes of our time on the call with zero resolution except that she emailed my husband the list of bars and we completed the tour with no challenges (Which was kind of the point. We could have bar hopped on our own.) As for the bars, ours were all really close to each other, which was nice. One of them was shut down. They were all kind of the same style of bar, small, pub style. It would have been nice to have some variety. We walked right past a couple of bars that was super eclectic and fun and would have been neat to have on the list. As a whole, a complete waste of money though. Fun idea, very poorly executed.

I downloaded the app for a scavenger hunt in Detroit. We had 6 people in the team and everyone had loading issues, couldn’t upload photos or videos, and sometimes the app would just crash. The layout of the hunt was poorly done and felt like someone making it didn’t actually play it through, what was supposed to be 1 hour and 3 miles was 6 miles and 2 hours before we gave up. There was no guidance on where to go next and the locations were grouped in such a way that it didn’t make an actual circle. Just plot points on a map. If there was at least a numbering system or a recommended path that would helped significantly. The most frustrating part was every time we opened the map it went to Nigeria and we had to scroll and zoom until we got to Detroit. You couldn’t just pop up the map to find the next location without zooming and scrolling every time. Lastly there were some things that just no longer existed. The hunt was for murals but in Detroit they can be painted over at any time especially if someone buys the building, so we had to give up on a couple because they just didn’t exist, making us have to no complete the game. Overall I would say the app is okay but not great, the game is poorly planned and executed for Detroit, and it’s much too expensive for the overall experience.

Puzzles are too easy

We tried hard to love this experience but it was not what we are looking for. First off getting the team registered was painful, it worked easily on some phones and not at all with others. We ended up not getting everyone registered and just starting.For each location there are several puzzles, but they are SO easy, the answers are all in the question. For example, one question was about a year. Something like “in the 1870’s some event happened, add the digits of the building address to get the last digit in the year”. You have to enter the entire year, but the interface gives you only four numbers to choose from, and you know the first three are 1-8-7, so the remaining one is the last digit. You don’t even have to look for the building address. The only challenge is when it asks you to go to the next location, but it just gives you a building name and distance, so you either know the area or you don’t, no logic or puzzle to it. This had the potential to be SO fun. We bailed part way through. Some of the challenges are to take a photo of your team here, which are clearly meant to elicit social media posts for the app. Good thing for them I am only posting my experience here and not all over my social media.

We’ve enhanced event customization, added video uploads, and squashed a few bugs to make your experience better than ever.
