A poor replica of a Sherlock Holmes… fairies and invisibility… not a Holmes line! Absurd. Made for small children with an adult not Holmes focussed adults waste of money. Seemed like it was a non UK version… they were always the worst Sherlock interpretations and this is no different.
I am really sorry that the fantasy elements in our Sherlock Holmes game missed the mark and felt unauthentic to you. We want to learn more about your thoughts to help us improve our storylines for true fans, so please reach out to us at explore@questoapp.com. I would love to offer you a free quest so you can try another one of our adventures that might be a better fit!
excellent time with family. It is a nice way of looking at the history and solve puzzles. Looking forward for further puzzles games in future
Thank you for your review! We’re thrilled you had an excellent time with your family. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the mix of history and puzzles. We’re working on more adventures, and we’d love to have you join another one soon!
This activity was incredibly fun and engaging! I thoroughly enjoyed it. The experience is perfectly suited for both solo adventurers and groups. Highly recommended for anyone looking to combine a bit of mystery-solving with exploring London uniquely!
Thank you for the great review! We're glad you enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes adventure and found it fun and engaging. Hope to see you on another case soon!
The app worked great (except for the “Take a photo” option, that kinda crashes the app), the story was good and the texts well written. It was nice to notice things in the area that I would have otherwise overlooked. Very enjoyable!
hank you for your thoughtful review and for playing the Sherlock Holmes adventure in London. We're glad you enjoyed the story and discovered new details along the way—that’s exactly what we aim for. We appreciate your feedback about the photo feature and will look into that issue to make sure the experience runs smoothly for everyone. Hope to see you on another quest soon.
There were some weird questions, some were really hard and I always had to use help because they made no sense at all. Would recommend some update... At least the walking part was nice
Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that some of the questions felt unclear or too difficult. We're always working to improve the experience, so we’ll definitely review this quest and look into updating those parts. Glad to hear you still enjoyed the walking route, and we hope your next Questo adventure will be a smoother one.
It was a fun adventure. We did lots of walking and we took lots of photos. Highly recommended as a thing to do in London. An excuse to dine out after building up an appetite!
Sounds like a fantastic way to explore London! Plenty of walking, great photo spots, and a well-earned meal afterward—what’s not to love? Glad you had a great time!
A very enjoyable, fun and interesting experience, I learnt a lot ! I would recommend this to others.
So glad you had a fun and interesting time! We love that you learned a lot during your adventure. We can't wait to see you again for more exciting experiences!
Poor night. The play was incomprehensible to my wife who speaks fluent Russian, Spanish , English and passable Italian. I could only grasp segments. It needs a better and more skillful director. They also say arrive early , why , nothing happens until 7.30 , maybe so you can sit around and buy expensive drinks. Food tasty but simple 2nd year cookery school level and the drinks pricy. The night excluding travel/ accommodation was £450 , equivalent to a weekend in Madrid , Prague etc, or good theatre tickets or concert , take your choice. Very dissapointed.
We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. It sounds like there were several aspects that were disappointing, and we’ll take your feedback seriously. However, it seems there may have been some confusion, as our game is designed to be experienced entirely through the app and does not include aspects such as food, drinks, or accommodations. If you have any specific issues related to the game itself, please let us know so we can address them appropriately. Feel free to reach out to us at care@questoapp.com with more details. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve.
Pretty fun way to explore London. Generally easy to understand for the puzzles but sometimes need to put a lot of thought into them. Would recommend.
Thanks for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that you found Questo to be a fun way to explore London. It's great to know that while some puzzles required extra thought, overall, they were understandable. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to see you on more Questo adventures in the future!
A fun 1 hour and a chance to explorer parts of London we hadn't seen. As per other review comments, some errors in the questions which I hope the app developer is able to fix soon.
Thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed exploring London with us. Please send us more details about the errors at care@Questoapp.com to ensure a smoother experience for everyone. Appreciate your feedback!
