Great experience! Very nice game to discover the city. We wander through the streets and stop to solve puzzles. It just needs to be possible to choose other languages (French)

It was such a super fun experience, walking around the main attractions of Bilbao but with a different twist since we were guided by the story of the game. We also learned a lot of fun facts about the city (things that you usually don't find in your average city guide). I cannot recommended enough!
