Explore Ghent.

It’s a good way to explore parts of Ghent. A little boring at times. Also, little obscure. I must admit at one point we decided not to complete the course because we wanted to do other things and find that interesting.

Bedankt voor je feedback! 😊 Fijn om te horen dat de trail jullie langs verschillende delen van Gent heeft geleid en heeft geholpen om de stad te verkennen. We waarderen het ook dat je eerlijk aangeeft dat sommige onderdelen voor jullie wat minder boeiend aanvoelden. Iedereen beleeft een stad en een trail op zijn eigen manier, en we begrijpen dat er soms andere interessante activiteiten lonken tijdens een bezoek aan zo'n prachtige stad. Bedankt voor het delen van jullie ervaring; dit helpt ons om onze trails verder te verbeteren. We hopen dat jullie ondanks alles een fijne tijd hebben gehad in Gent en mooie herinneringen hebben meegenomen! 🎉

Nice family outing!

The City Trial was a lot of fun. We walked from place to place on not busy roads and passed places we didn't know yet. Highly recommended!

Nice search through Ghent

We made a nice search in Ghent and came to a few places where we had not been yet. The facts we got were interesting. It was fun and worth repeating, possibly with a few grandchildren.

Operator response

Wat leuk om te horen dat jullie zo’n fijne zoektocht hebben gehad in Gent! 😊 Mooi dat jullie zelfs als (deels) bekende bezoekers nog nieuwe plekjes hebben ontdekt en de weetjes interessant vonden. Dat maakt het extra bijzonder! En wat een gezellig idee om het een volgende keer met de kleinkinderen te doen dat maakt het plezier alleen maar groter. We hopen jullie snel weer te mogen verwelkomen! ✨

Disappointing price/quality ratio

There was no coherence between the questions and information about the location. The wrong login was sent, and no one could be reached via chat/mail. Very unclear instructions to start, and some questions/answers were no longer correct/current. The website for the guide was quite user unfriendly. Overall really bad price/quality ratio unfortunately...

Not to be done with the French version!

Seeing all the positive feedback, we chose this track game to celebrate our dad’s birthday as a family. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. We had opted for the French version, but the translation was catastrophic: the sentences were often incomprehensible, making the puzzles very difficult to follow. We quickly lost track of the game. In addition, one of the questions referred to an element of the set that no longer exists, making the answer untraceable. This gives the impression that the course is not maintained or updated regularly. We are very frustrated that we have paid 31 euros for an activity that seemed botched and unfinished. It’s a shame, because the concept is interesting and the city of Ghent lends itself well. Updating content and quality translation would be essential to provide a better experience.
