Beautiful child-friendly walk through the city. We discovered some things that we would not have seen without this guide, even though we would have been standing in this place. Very exciting.
Vielen Dank für die tolle Rückmeldung! Es freut uns sehr, dass euch der Spaziergang gefallen hat und ihr durch die Tour neue Ecken von Kopenhagen entdecken konntet. Genau dafür ist sie gemacht!
It was so much fun, We got to see more of Copenhagen than we would have done just wondering around, 😂
Great to hear you had such a fun time! Exploring a city with a purpose makes all the difference and it’s awesome that you got to see more than expected. Hope you’ll join us for another adventure soon!
I downloaded everything before I left home as I was afraid I could not get it once there. When we were ready for the experience, we could not get it to work on our phones. We were unable to enjoy this as it just wasn't working.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re sorry to hear the app didn’t work as you had hoped. If you encounter issues like this in the future, please reach out to us via chat, available 24/7, or email us at care@questoapp.com for assistance. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll consider giving us another try for your next adventure!
To get there, you can explore something from Copenhagen. To you suburb a bit badly described what you may or where exactly it goes
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear that exploring Copenhagen was part of the fun. It sounds like some of the on-site descriptions could have been clearer, and we'll keep that feedback in mind. We hope you still enjoyed discovering the city's hidden gems during your adventure!
It was scam! Why were there an option of adding tickets when only one game was played? I paid for two tickets to get "free admission tickets" to the places as described on the website. But guess what? There were no tickets to get inside them. I paid €15 to just walk by places that I could go by myself for free! Is this a new way to soak up people's money?
We're very sorry to hear about your experience and apologize for any confusion or frustration caused. It seems there was a misunderstanding about the admission tickets. Our games do not include entrance fees because you will not be required internal access to buildings and establishments. We regret that this was not clearer. Please reach out to us at care@questoapp.com so we can address your concerns directly and assist you further. Your feedback is important to us, and we aim to ensure a better experience for all our customers.
I'd you're looking for a scavenger hunt this is for you. Lots of history and you definitely cover alot of ground. However it took us nearly 3 hours to complete and only stopped once for short break.
Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the historical elements and the extensive exploration. However, we're sorry that the duration of the activity was longer than expected. We will report this to our team to better balance the experience. If you have any further details or suggestions, please email us at care@questoapp.com.
Really a fun and different little tour around Copenhagen, where you solve puzzles while walking around the city's beautiful landmarks. We used the trip as a nice after-work thing. But can also be recommended as a family or tourist. A really recommendable tour around beautiful Copenhagen
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear you had such a positive experience. It's fantastic to know that our tour provided a unique way to enjoy Copenhagen. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated!
Gutted! This experience was terrible, spelling mistakes throughout. Asked to enter the answer Agnete, with a double tt - even though that’s not what is represented on the plaque. Not sure what four letter animal ends in a “d” either. No faith in the game by the, what a waste of time!!!
Hey, this is Alex from Questo. Sorry to read your comment, but as much as we feel bad for your experience, we must give a reply. The answer was Agnette, and that's the correct version. And second, the 4 letter animal was a bird. If you would've used the hint feature in the app, you could've easily solved this.
5 it is a nice app and good experience to visit the city in a different way. We arrived from the airport and straight to play. With the app you know things that I believe just waking the street you won’t find out. Highly Recomend the game
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad you enjoyed the app and exploring the city in a new way right after arriving. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
Superb ride on the theme of the true story of the Little Mermaid. My 11 year old daughter got into the game and guided us over 4 km, the best way to see lots of well-known and little-known monuments in a fun way.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled your 11-year-old daughter enjoyed guiding you through the Little Mermaid story. It's wonderful to hear that the walk provided an engaging way to explore famous monuments. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to more adventures with you both!
