Athens Quest: The Minotaur Code (Greek Mythology Game)
Description
Every year, fourteen young Athenians are sent to Crete to face the Minotaur. This year, one of them is the daughter of Demokritos, a desperate Athenian merchant. He has reached out to you: "The place where she's being held is a secret. Will you find her before it's too late?" This self-guided game takes you on a 90-minute walking adventure through the heart of Athens. Using the Questo app on your smartphone, you follow divine clues from the Panathenaic Stadium to the Temple of Zeus, through Plaka's winding streets, up to the Areopagus hill, and all the way to the Academy of Athens. Solve puzzles at iconic landmarks, unravel riddles left by the gods, and piece together a story rooted in ancient Greek mythology. No guide, no fixed schedule. Start whenever you like and explore Athens' most atmospheric streets entirely at your own pace. Perfect for couples, families, and friends looking for a memorable way to explore the city. No prior knowledge of mythology needed.

A fantastic experience. Fun from beginning to end. The hosts are great. Highly recommended for all ages.
Thanks so much for playing and for the high recommendation! I am thrilled to hear you had a fantastic time and enjoyed the great hosts during your Athens adventure. We hope to see you exploring another city with Questo very soon!
I couldn’t get the game to start. I downloaded the app and it said it was unlocked but nowhere to start it in the app.
Hey, Avene. For situations like this, we have the 24/7 chat support in the app. You can still play the quest, just reach out either directly in the app or by sending us an e-mail to explore@questoapp.com
Fun game, great way to explore and learn about all the ancient sites not on the Acropolis. Very happy we did this. Note you must sign into the app with a google acct not an apple acct for the app to work.
We're delighted to hear that you had a fun and enlightening experience exploring the ancient sites of Athens with Questo! Your tip about signing in with a Google account is also valuable information for fellow explorers. Thank you for choosing Questo, and we hope you continue to enjoy many more adventures with us in the future. Happy exploring! 🏛️🌟😊
Really enjoyed the start of the route and the opportunity to pause at each site to take photos and learn a bit more about its history. Directions were sometimes muddled between left and right and the directions to pnyx was way off. Should have just followed the actual signs instead of the app’s directions because ended up going the wrong way (by about 20 mins into the scrub) and because it was such a hot day had to give up on the entire thing when we were only half way through because of how hot and bothered everyone was!
We appreciate your positive feedback on the start of the route and the educational aspects. We apologize for any confusion caused by the directions. Your feedback will help us improve the accuracy of our app's directions. We understand the frustration caused by the heat, we would encourage you to pause the game for breaks at any time. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Cool experience, questions are not difficult and it helps you experience the city in better way than doing it yourself.

I took the Questo tour around Athens. Was nice, but the English can be improved toget easier to the locations. But was a nice walk around the city with bites of history. I recommend it, as well using the Maps.
