Nice walk, you pass beautiful parts of mainly East Berlin. The questions were relatively easy. Thought it was a pity that more information was not given about the cold war. Always short escape stories.
Bedankt voor je review en wat fijn dat je hebt genoten van de mooie wandeling door Oost-Berlijn! Ik neem je feedback over het toevoegen van meer historische informatie over de Koude Oorlog zeker mee om onze verhalen verder te verbeteren. We hopen dat je snel weer een andere stad met ons komt ontdekken!
The order worked smoothly and uncomplicated. You can start when you want and the story is quite appealing. Only the puzzles are rather poorly translated and only make sense with a little imagination. You can complete the puzzle in about 70 minutes, take breaks and the route is not too long for a family (about 4 km)
Vielen Dank für das tolle Feedback! Es freut mich sehr, dass Ihre Familie die Flexibilität und die Geschichte unseres Spiels zur Berliner Mauer genossen hat. Danke auch für den ehrlichen Hinweis zu den Rätseln. Es tut mir leid, dass die Übersetzung teilweise holprig war. Ich habe das direkt an unser Team weitergeleitet, um die deutschen Texte schnellstmöglich zu überprüfen und zu verbessern. Schreiben Sie uns gerne an explore@questoapp.com, damit wir Ihnen als kleines Dankeschön für Ihr hilfreiches Feedback ein kostenloses Spiel für Ihr nächstes Abenteuer anbieten können!
Nice thing, the escape stories to read between the puzzles are exciting. But overall more of a superficial scavenger hunt with little depth.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the escape stories! We understand that you were hoping for more from the overall experience. We’re always working to improve and your feedback helps guide us in making future experiences better. Thanks for sharing and we hope you'll still consider joining us for more adventures.
As a different kind of guided tour, we tryed this escapegame from Questo. During the game we saw touristplaces like the rest of The Wall, Checkpoint Charlie and Brandenburger Tor, and we learned about different more or less crazy and wild escapes from East to West Berlin. It was a very good experience and exiting for the whole family with two boys on 11 and 15 years of age.
Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our unique take on a guided tour and that it offered both educational and exciting moments for your whole family. It's great that you explored iconic landmarks and learned about the intriguing escapes from East to West Berlin. We're thrilled that it was a memorable adventure for everyone, including your two boys. We hope to have the pleasure of creating more exciting experiences for you in the future!
It was good. About 4km done, and 100min approx time. The riddles was easy, maybe to easy. But in overall it was like i wrote at first, good.
Thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the adventure overall, even if the riddles were a bit on the easy side. If you're up for more challenges in the future or have any suggestions for improvement, we're here for you. Happy exploring!
Really fun with older kids, lots of interesting tidbits. Gives another layer of context to neighborhoods already filled with tourists, and more flexible and less expensive than a paid waking tour.
Hey! Thanks for the awesome review! We're stoked you had a blast exploring with Questo. If you ever want to dive into more stories and hidden gems, we're here for it! Happy adventuring!
Good route for tourists, but unimaginative puzzles, poor translation into German, so that the translated texts pose the biggest puzzles. Guessing questions are one-dimensional. Perhaps there is a better puzzle tour for the sights from another provider
We're sorry to hear that the puzzles and translations didn't meet your expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and we're continuously working to enhance our tours. If you're open to it, we'd love to assist you in finding an experience that better aligns with your preferences. Feel free to reach out for further recommendations!
It was a very Nice trip around Berlin to do some seightseeing in a different Way :-) We went on this one to learn more about the Wall, and were pleasently surprised with the gameplay, and stories in the game.
Glad you had a nice trip around Berlin with our quest! Exploring in a different way can be quite enjoyable, and we're delighted that you found the gameplay and stories pleasant. If you decide to explore more cities, we're here to help you uncover their hidden gems too! 😊
An escape from East to West Berlin through all different places that played an important role. After each question a piece of history about real escapes, very nice job. Highly recommended if you are in the German capital with a group.
Hello! Thank you for sharing your feedback and experience with the game. We have a lot more city games waiting for you! :) Hope you can play again soon!
This was a fun and entertaining way to tour some of the sights of Berlin. I enjoyed searching for the clues and reading about the daring escapes over the wall that some people made.
We are happy that you have enjoyed Berlin's Wall: The Greatest Escapes Exploration Game. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you on your next game with us soon.
