A good way to discover the main buildings of the city. Especially for children who adhere to the principle of treasure hunting. Still, the puzzles are hard to figure out and solve without a clue. In addition, the explanations given are more intended for adults.

We started right away when we arrived. This led you through the city to learn everything about the sights. Along the way you will also see the shops and restaurants, which is ideal for the evening. Nice impressions and questions, things you would otherwise walk past. Good shoes are definitely recommended.

A fun, interactive and educational experience! Always walk a bit (never longer than 10 minutes) and then solve another puzzle. The puzzles were challenging but the hints were good to use. Good to do with a group, on one telephone, provided it is not too busy (because then you have to bring a box otherwise you will no longer understand the stories).
