Quest walk

It was a fun way to walk around the city and see the famous statues. It did take a couple of goes to work out that the timer started as soon as you read the clue so we made sure we walked all the way to the location before reading. Great to have the extra facts about the buildings as you go along to put them into context.

Operator response

Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed exploring the statues and learning the extra facts along the way. Good tip about the timer—it starts when the clue is opened, so walking to the spot first is the best approach. We’ll work on making that clearer for future players.

A little wasted

Fun way to do sightseeing with family. However, the battery died in her daughter's phone and then you could not continue on another device and had to start over. That's why we couldn't go through with the adventure.

Beklager at høre det. Bare for at afklare – i sådanne situationer kan du bruge en anden telefon, logge ind med din konto og fortsætte derfra. Vi håber at se jer spille igen snart!

Cool way to discover the city despite a bumpy storyline

Cool because you still discover different corners of Copenhagen in a playful way, especially small details that you had not seen before. From the story we found it confusing in parts, though, or at least we didn’t really see a logically gripping story from start to finish. If necessary, this is also due to one or the other somewhat bumpy translation (we played it in German). Against the background that the main goal was not a cool game but to discover the city, but basically a cool thing.

Operator response

Sightseeing with a backdrop story.

Very interesting tour of some of the major sights in Copenhagen spiced with a clever story that made us appreciate them even more. Some of the quizzes are quite challenging and one at the end requires that you followed the elaborate story line. Also one quiz is behind a paywall (read museum ticket fee) but you can guess the response within 4 tries.

Operator response
