Great game - Great quest. Interesting places, good story. Fascinatingly. You will visit some places that you would most likely miss without this game. Recommend.

Longer than we expected but definitely worth it:) - The game is very interesting and we really enjoyed the experience and competition:) The only thing: it took 2.5 hours even with using a few hints, and it wasn't 3 km. It wasn't a problem but take this to the account.

Nice game - The game is very fun and also u learn history while playing, which makes it even better. On the way u might find hidden gems, which u can check out, if u not going for fast completion time, u might enjoy sometimes taking off the road the game rcommenda, and find cool things. One thing I think is good to know that there was construction work at the second or third task, but u could just skip it with the help of the app and the next one already was in an accessible area.

Clues Thworted by Building Works! - We were looking forward to this experience but it didn't end up working very well. Unfortunately after passing the first clue, we then found that all the building work that is taking place around the castle restricted the clues and we were unable to see them. We could not go to the areas it was suggesting - however I'm sure when the building work is complete this would all make sense again. We stopped doing this and just walked around instead.
