“On a recommendation, we did the self-guided scavenger hunt through Strasbourg as part of our team trip as part of our team trip. The possibility to start and pause flexibly for lunch and coffee was great. Since we had German- and English-speaking participants it would have been more sensible in retrospect to have them booked separately, as the booking for several people can unfortunately only be used in one language even on different terminals. Here an individual choice on the end devices would be better!Auto-translated”

“Really 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…”

We all enjoyed figuring out the puzzles and getting to know the city. My niece was hesitant at first about doing it, but indulged us, and ended up having a great time.
