Each pavilion is an independent adventure, you can do as many or as few as you like, and in any order. Each phone goes on its own adventure, so if you want to play together you will want to share a phone, if you want to go separately you can use separate phones.
The last time we participated, you could check in at a kiosk and choose where to start. Now, you use a website to start the adventure. As noted above, each pavilion has its own adventure, so you can spend a little time doing one adventure, or continue on with another after you finish the first one. We have found it a good way to spend time in the pavilions, where we normally might rush through in search of attractions or food.
Although you can do any pavilion you want to, once you’re playing, the clues go in a certain order. While it can take a half hour or even longer, you can also blast through them in 10 minutes if you skip the story and just activate the secret special effects.
Some of the best countries are Japan, Germany and the UK. One of the special effects in Japan wasn’t functioning, so if I had it all to do over again, I’d get on Liners chat forum and ask if anyone knows about broken special effects, to avoid the disappointment and/.or wasted time. It was still fun, though!
