Really enjoyed the game but sadly not pushchair accessible as advertised as there's a lot of stairs near the end

I couldn't make the game because I found the system confusing.................................
Siento mucho que el sistema te resultara confuso y no pudieras realizar el juego. Queremos entender mejor qué ocurrió para hacerlo más intuitivo. Por favor, escríbenos a explore@questoapp.com; nos encantaría ofrecerte una quest gratuita para que lo intentes de nuevo.
Ideal with family or friends to discover the city in a fun way. This game is very well done and allows us to mobilize.
Merci pour ce super retour ! Je suis ravi que vous ayez apprécié cette découverte ludique d'Alicante, que ce soit en famille ou entre amis. C'est génial de savoir que le jeu vous a bien mobilisés. J'espère que vous explorerez une autre ville avec nous bientôt !
We enjoyed this adventure through old town Alicante, and a great way to learn the history also. It passed the morning for us & encourages teamwork! The helpful hints were great for the trickier riddles. One or two tickets are fine for 3 people, we had 2 which worked well, giving value for money. We took our time, visiting the churches etc… We highly recommend.
Thank you for exploring the Old Town with us! Hello! Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Alicante Secret Society game. It sounds like you played exactly how we intended—taking your time to visit the beautiful churches and absorbing the history while solving the riddles! We are also glad the hints system helped keep the momentum going without frustration. Your tip regarding the number of tickets for a group of three is very helpful for future travelers, too. Thanks again for your high recommendation!
We didnt realise you had to play a chapter before getting the next map but after chatting to the help team we understood. It took us 3 hours with a few stops, towards the end there were a lot of steep steps so would not suit the less mobile. We saw parts of the city we had never seen before and things that you never usually noticed so well worth doing.
Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience. We are glad to hear you enjoyed discovering new parts of Alicante and noticing details you might otherwise have missed. Thank you as well for highlighting the chapter-based map progression and the steep steps toward the end. This kind of feedback helps set clearer expectations for future players, especially those with limited mobility. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and are happy to hear you found the experience worthwhile overall.
Very good experience, even with Audio and Mood Music. We knew details we might not have seen otherwise! I had simpler "missions" and more complicated ones, but they are super family friendly!
Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de la experiencia, de las misiones y de la música que acompaña el recorrido. Nuestra idea es justamente esa: descubrir rincones y detalles que muchas veces pasan desapercibidos, de una forma divertida para todas las edades. Esperamos que vuelvan pronto a vivir otra aventura con nosotros en Alicante o en cualquiera de nuestras ciudades.
