Brilliant! I've been living in LA for more than 23 years, but I learned so much I didn't know about so many of Hollywood's fascinating (and tragic) history. And the plot was based on actual events and people - and genuinely heartbreaking. Bravo agian, Questo!
Thank you so much for the brilliant review! I am thrilled that we could share some new and fascinating pieces of Hollywood's history with you, even after living in LA for 23 years. I'm glad the heartbreaking plot and true events resonated with you so deeply. We hope you will explore another city with Questo soon!
I got to see all the famous Hollywood sights and play a fun and challenging game. It was a great time with just the right amount of spookiness!
We are happy to know that you had a great experience. Thanks for your review. Please share Questo to your family and friends. :)
We did have fun, we get enjoy Hollywood on our vacation. This game took quite a while almost 4 hours. Also ends in a weird location. Although the story was really cool. We kept doubting the game wasn't updated enough. It was! Every time! Lots of work.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We are happy to see that you had a great time playing Ghosts of Hollywood: Haunting Stories Exploration Game. Would love to see you playing more games with us soon.
The concept is spot on but the execution needs work. The clues definitely need an update. We didn't finish the game and had to contact support several times. I wish I could've got my money back.
We would like to apologize for your negative experience and would like to thank you for providing your feedback and rest assured we will take a look on this and will give you an update. We look forward to seeing you play a new game with us.
Great way to see LA from a different perspective. Probably works best at nighttime, thus saving you the walking under the summer’s scorching sun!
Thank you for your review, Callum. We love to see you had a great time playing with us, and can't wait to see you explore more games soon.
I was nice doing a night visit for a change, and this tour provided the perfect support for it. Very pleasant experience!
Super happy to hear that, Miguel! Glad to see you enjoyed our Questo game!
This was a very surprizing experience. I did not expect visiting a city can be so fun and exciting:) will definitely use this app to discover more cities I visit
Hello, thank you for your good words! We're planning to make Questo better and better, so stick around and we hope to see you play more quests!
I really enjoyed the combination of exploring the story within the game and the city at the same time. Cool concept!
Thanks a lot, Angie, for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the experience and look forward to having you play Questo again!
