Don’t waste your money

1.00A complete waste of money! Thought it would be a good way to see the main sights of Annecy but was so complicated with no clear instructions it took an hour to get the info on one site so we gave up. Annecy is very busy so difficult to follow the route - and beware pickpockets if you’re distracted trying to work the App - husband’s wallet stolen from a zipped bag!

4.00This was so fun! The challenges were a bit tricky (some warm up challenges might get us in the mode better). We loved learning about Annecy and it's lore while solving challenges. A fun way to learn!

5.00An incredible experience that helped me get to know the sights of the city with my teenage children who are usually not very excited about walking around the city. They got so excited that they already want to do it again in the nearby cities.

4.00Generally it was good fun and absorbing but navigating the app and using the maps to go from one location to another was confusing at first. A decent mobile signal was essential to as occasionally we were stuck until the signal came back.
Not for December

4.00Good fun but not for December. The Christmas Market meant lots of the attractions were difficult to get to or unaccessible. Also some of the map names were different to how it was listed on the game
