Waste of time and money

Guide/quiz makes no sense. We dropped to follow the route after 4 stops, because 3 of the stops were so poorly made/made no sense in neither the "in game" timeframe or "real life" timeframe, that we just had to give up. Examples: the answer to a question were equal to number of floors on the tallest building in a square. Answer was 6. The tallest modern building was actually 9 floors, and the tallest building in the time setting of the game was 4. No coherence...

Great...until the end

We enjoyed this a lot, visited some great bars we otherwise wouldn't have seen and tried a variety of beers. However, the final location is in the woods, down a deep ditch. At the statue and around the immediate area, was lots of rubbish, used condoms and drunk, homeless people hanging about. It was still light and we were a group of men so didn't feel too unsafe, however based on this I wouldn't recommend this, or at the very least I would recommend skipping the final clue.

fun couple of hours in Brussels

Great way to explore the city, especially if, like me, you're interested in Belgian beer. Having said that, this would be also worthwhile for those who don't care about beer, because the game is filled with fun facts and original storytelling. I've been to Brussels before, but still discovered new things.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your review, Tom! We are very glad to know that you enjoyed playing Brussels with Questo. We'll do our best to build many more quests around the world as our mission is to turn every place into a game. Hope to see you again playing more games :)
