Fun way to explore the city - Funny way to get to know the city! Recommended 😊 You can take it when you want it, you can take breaks and control yourself. Questen offers tasks that are sometimes a bit demanding, but mostly okay to solve. Also tells facts about Bologna, which are not found in the usual tourist guide.

Couples quest, in hot July - Very beautiful, but unfortunately there was some construction work but other than that, it was pretty easy to get around.

Fantastic game - Fantastic Questo game around Bologna. We just loved it and went to so many places off the beaten track. I just love Auesto games and have used them all over Italy.

Make it a sequel! - Nice way to discover part of the city with our adolescenten children. Would be nice to expand the area, in a sequel, maybe?

I’d recommend this game to those who like to walk the city - This game was a neat way to learn about the city. We walked around and received history lessons about things we would have never taken notice of. We got lost a couple of times, but we were able to figure it out quickly. The story (“mystery”) didn’t totally make sense, but I’d still suggest this game to others because it was a nice way to spend an hour or so.

A different way to explore a city. - Good idea. Although the story is not very challenging, you can see some beautiful sights of Bologna. You could also like them all. But it was fine for the money. Only: those who have difficulties with orientation definitely need more than the specified 100 minutes. It was still fun.

Too expensive - I learned some new anecdotes about Bologna, but the riddles were too simple and the tour too expensive compared to what it offers
