I took the Riddle Route challenge starting my quest in Carlsbad, totally unsure what the experience would be like. Suggested teams are 2-4 people, so we double-dated and made it a team of 4. The routes are designed to be about 2 miles of walking, 2 hours of time with 22 stops. You purchase the package online for $38 (this fee covers the whole team), which I feel is very reasonable and certainly less expensive than going to a movie. Once you pay you are given a link to access your route, using your smartphone to get your clues.
The whole thing was put together very cleverly, and you can tell the
designers of Riddle Routes are teachers. Let’s just say I was thankful
for the help of my teammates when the riddle involved math!
As you go from point to point you are looking for specific things,
solving riddles and problems and doing a lot of teamwork. We saw some
points of interest that we knew about and others that we were learning
about for the first time. After you get to each destination and solve
your riddle, you’ll learn some fun facts about that specific location or
business. So, with Riddle Routes you are having fun, exercising and
getting fresh air, working with others, using your brains and learning
new things about the area you are in.
We all agreed that it was a lot of fun and interesting as well. I would wholeheartedly recommend that everyone do this with their family or friends. It was a great day followed by a nice dinner in The Village. I did not take pictures (whaaat?) as I don’t want to give away the route. I want it all to be new and fresh when you give it a try.
