4.00Useful app as I was only in Lille for a few hours. Main negative was not being able to go back in the app to previous stops on the route.

App didn't work properly

2.00We were completely unable to enter any text on the phone to answer the questions which was a shame. We could only go from one place to the next.
Fun way to explore

4.00Very good route of the city but complicated start. We couldn't create a team, everyone had to create one on their phone and we missed the beginning because we can't go back...
A fun way to learn while exploring

5.00I was surprised by how much we learned during this scavenger hunt! It felt like a mini history lesson disguised as a game. The questions were engaging — not too easy, but still fun — and we really enjoyed the interesting facts about the architecture, local art, and culture. Perfect for curious minds who enjoy exploring with purpose.

4.00Very nice experience, just a little different and yet seen a lot, you have all the time, in between nice sitting on terrace, doing puzzles well, sometimes better reading sometimes not too difficult thinking
A fresh perspective on a familiar city

5.00I've been living in Lille for a year, but when I did this scavenger hunt with visiting friends, I was surprised by how many new places we uncovered. The clues encouraged us to slow down and appreciate small architectural details we’d usually miss. It turned a familiar city into something exciting again — a great way to rediscover Lille.
Great experience with exit game character

4.00Really great experience! We had fun, gained great impressions and explored the city. At one point the order didn't make sense, but since the two places were so close together, that wasn't a problem. The puzzles were not too easy and not too hard where it was really fun. The only point that really bothered us was that it said that the start and end were the same. This was not the case. The two points were a good 1.5km apart, so we had to run a bit after that. This should be included in the planning. Otherwise everything worked out well for us. An offline option in the app for guidance would be desirable.
Annoying

1.00I installed the app and called up my route, I was sent a starting point, that's where I walked. But it was, too. I am at the starting point and have already contacted the provider, but they only sent standardized emails that do not help.
