🎯  HIT THE BULLSEYE

• I enjoyed exploring the lively town of Asakusa with fun puzzles. The game explained the culture and history of this area well. I enjoyed discovering and learning some new things that I did not know. Other than just solving puzzles, I liked that there were experiences that players could try in Asakusa.

• The game started by exploring Asakusa to gather information to solve puzzles. In the beginning, I felt the puzzle part was slow. Yet, I liked that Japanese culture was nicely introduced in the form of puzzles in this game. I really enjoyed them toward the end. The last part of the puzzles was memorable.

• It was convenient that the approximate estimated time and brief information about each chapter were given in the guidebook. It helped planning the journey on my own while playing this game.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• The game depends heavily on the website to play it by uploading photos at many places in Asakusa. I could see the intention, but I felt it was too much. Make sure your smartphone has a steady internet connection and enough battery!

• SCRAP is usually cautious in defining things used for puzzles. It is probably not a big deal for most people. However, I felt an explanation about one object was misleading when I solved a puzzle.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
