Very good activity to do, it usually changes and we discovered places we would not have seen otherwise.

On holiday with a couple of female friends, and we wanted a light-hearted evening activity. Didn’t want an organised ghost walk as we’d already done a walking tour. We all enjoy geocaching so this seemed like a perfect compromise. The clues were challenging enough to keep us focussed, but achievable,and we got to explore part of the city that we might not have otherwise seen.
Thanks for choosing us for your friends' night out! I am so glad the ghost quest was the perfect geocaching alternative and that you enjoyed the challenging clues while discovering new parts of Budapest. We hope you and your friends will explore another city with Questo soon!
We tried Questo in Budapest and were really excited. Downloading and unlocking the tour worked without any problems, and it was super convenient that you could play the game on two devices in parallel. The tour itself was really well done: exciting puzzles, interesting information and you get to places that you might otherwise have missed. We were traveling a lot in Budapest and discovered new things — just like it should be. The app ran stable, the navigation was clear and everything worked smoothly. It was fun, entertaining and informative at the same time.
Vielen Dank für das fantastische Feedback! Es freut mich riesig, dass alles so reibungslos funktioniert hat – vom Herunterladen bis zum parallelen Spielen auf zwei Geräten. Dass ihr durch die Rätsel selbst als Budapest-Kenner noch neue und versteckte Orte entdecken konntet, ist für uns das allergrößte Kompliment. Wir freuen uns schon sehr darauf, euch bei eurem nächsten Abenteuer in einer neuen Stadt wieder begleiten zu dürfen!
it was fun to do, but the puzzles were often times really easy, and at other times unfindable because of construction causing us to lose quite a few points. the stories were fine.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you had fun overall, and we appreciate your thoughts on the puzzle difficulty and construction issues. We’ll look into how we can improve the experience and make it more consistent.
It was really exciting, we enjoyed it a lot. We explored beautiful sights, got to know the city. The quests and the stories were also interesting.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the ghost quest and discovered Budapest in a fun and exciting way. Hope to see you on another adventure soon!
Friendly occupation for the Halloween evening that allowed us to explore and have a good time. Watch out for some pictures that are not in order, and a clue that I think no longer appears on the door of the house-ivy 🤷
Thanks for your feedback! We’re glad you had a great time exploring and making the most of Halloween night. We’ll take note of the photo order and clue issue to improve the experience for future adventurers. We hope to be part of your next adventure soon!
There were some problems with the location of the fountain but other than that it was very fun. Also it would have been nice if we could see pictures of the people

We had great fun exploring the city of Budapest, while learning about long-forgotten stories of some buildings or its tenants. The cool part were the tasks or questions that you would not be able to answer via a simple Google search, you have to go and look in person! It was overall a great experience!
