Give yourself the time to explore

5.00We did this experience as a way to explore the city with a bit of structure, allowing us to get to know the layout of a city totally new to us. It was so much fun and highly recommend it! We really took our time exploring where our adventure took us and it actually took us almost a day (we took a midday nap halfway to beat the sun). We could have absolutely done this much faster if we wanted to, but enjoyed taking our time, wandering the city and going into some of the locations we were brought to. A fantastic way to explore!
Cool game

2.00Would have been great if it worked properly . Sadly the map links were wrong and therefore didn’t correspond with the clues. A real shame and both my daughter and I really enjoyed .
