An entertaining way to get to know the city on your own with many details that we would have otherwise overlooked. It was really fun.
Hallo vielen Dank für das schöne Feedback! Genau darum gehts – die kleinen Details entdecken, an denen man sonst einfach vorbeiläuft. Rothenburg steckt ja voller versteckter Schätze. Schön, dass ihr so viel Spaß hattet! Liebe Grüße und bis zur nächsten Tour, Euer gesamtes Explorial Team
We did the scavenger hunt this week right near us. Despite the intense heat, we had an incredible amount of fun rediscovering Rothenburg in this playful way. An absolutely successful city tour that we can warmly recommend to everyone!
Vielen Dank für diese tolle Bewertung! Wir freuen uns riessig, dass ihr trotz der Hitze so viel Spass hattet und Rothenburg auf spielerrische Weise neu entdeckt habt. Danke für die wärmste Empfelung, wir hoffen euch bald auf einem neuen Explorial-Abenteuer wiederzusehen!
We spread our tour out over a few days, so it truly is go-at-your-own-pace. We were pleasantly distracted by a concert in the Marktplatz, meeting new friends, etc., but easily started the hunt again when back on track. It allowed us to leisurely make our way around this sweet little town and learn new facts. It was fun!
Thank you so much for this wonderfull review! We love that you took your time. Go-at-your-own-pace is exactly the idea. We're so happy you enjoyed the concert at the Marktplatz to. Thank you for sharing your fun experiance with us. We hope to see you again soon!
It was a great experience to keep our boys engaged. It took us several places around Rothenburg. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.
Great tour to dig into the history of Rothenburg, entertaining tour with a good mix of individual tasks and team tasks. The determination of points based on time was also very successful in order to encourage every team member. All in all, highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your great review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in another city and having a great time with family or friends! All the best, from Explorial Team
Saw places and stopped to enjoy spots in the town that we never would seen on our own. Good family fun 👍
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
We enjoyed the information on each stop of the scavenger hunt. It was a great way to see and get to know the city. I don't think the estimated time of completion is accurate as it took us 3 full hours and we did not even get to finish. I would suggest allowing for more time when doing the hunt.
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! Regarding your experience, we apologise if you feel like you didn't make the most of it. Our experiences last around 1-2 hours average, but there is no time limit or the need to do it all at once, as you can always pick up where you left off. We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
The experience was amazing, a ton of fun with friends, and we did get to learn a lot of trivia just by playing and getting to take in the sights of the city. For a self-guided experience you end up feeling pretty well directed on where to go and what to do. Definitely playing again.
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
