We loved this! 😍 We enjoyed the clues & it was a great opportunity to explore the city & learn more about Melbourne city. & we loved the story too.
I'm so glad you loved the story and the gothic atmosphere! It is wonderful to hear that the clues gave you a great chance to explore and learn more about Melbourne. We hope you'll join us for another adventure soon!
It was super fun. Gifted it as a kk present for someone who was new to Melbourne and wanted to explore Melbourne. We all enjoyed it, as such a great price too. I feel we should do it with more people next time and I’ll do with visitors that come from overseas. I did feel like the story line was too long and Would be nice with more hands on Experiences such as a photo at each destination haha.
Thanks so much for the great review! We’re glad you all had fun exploring Melbourne. Love the idea of making it a group adventure next time! We’ll also look into your suggestion about adding more hands-on experiences. Hope to see you on another quest soon!
As a tourist, I liked that it toured us around the city to nice places we didnt know was just walking distance. However, me and the group of people playing did not bother to read the stories.. We just wanted to answer the puzzles and discover new places. Maybe the app can ask for a choice if player wants a reward at the end (higher price) to offer a reward at the end, like a bottle of beer? or discount at some restaurant, or 5$ voucher off? It would make the game definitely more rewarding as players look forward to the prize
Thank you for your review and insightful feedback! We're glad you enjoyed discovering new places. Your suggestion for reward choices is fantastic and will be considered for future enhancements. We look forward to welcoming you back for more thrilling adventures!
We loved the exciting nature of the game. The quiz questions were also fun and made you think. This would be a good game for those that are interested in Melbourne's history.
Hello! We are glad that you had a good time playing the game and learned new things about the city. Hope you can try our other city games soon!
We picked this for something different than our usual date night - we were also trying to avoid the pub for a change! It was an amazing way to learn some history, see different locations and get our steps in all in one! Cannot wait to do another in a different city <3
Thank you for your feedback we are very happy that you guys enjoyed exploring the City and learned new things about Melbourne we can't wait to see you too play more games :) have fun!
Super fun! I like how you can go at your own pace and the history behind the locations. The story of the vampire was also interesting and kept us entertained.
Thank you for sharing positive experience with Questo. We are grateful that you enjoyed the game. Hope to see you explore more games with us.
My husband and I found the app Questo through this purchase and fell in love. It is so much fun, and a great way to see new areas of a city, whilst also learning. We were able to stop when we found things that interested us (for a beer or coffee) and continue at our own pace.
Hello! Thank you very much for your feedback and sharing your thoughts about the game. We are so happy that you have enjoyed the game with your husband. Hope to see you play your next game soon! :)
After paying for this experience we downloaded the app as asked which then said we needed gems to complete the experience? This was not outlined that there would be further costs after purchasing the initial tour. We tried many things to get past this and in the end just gave up. Trying to navigate your site to get someone to talk to about this was a nightmare and same in the end just gave up. Really disappointed
Thank you for taking time to give us your feedback. We are sorry that you had a negative experience. Our goal is the total satisfaction of our customers and to provide positive experience. We can see that you never started the quest. You can still play the quest since there's no expiration date or you may request for a refund and we will be happy to process it. You may send us an email to care@questoapp.com or you can contact us at https://www.tidio.com/talk/questo. Thank you
Really enjoyed the information provided about buildings and areas in Melbourne. It was an easy walk and the clues were quite simple but fun.
We really appreciate your feedback thank you for sharing your experience with Questo and we hope to see you explore more cities with us :) have a lovely day!
The tour itself was fine but after paying for four individual tickets, the three links that I shared with my family did not work.
Duncan, sorry to hear that not all in your group could play. We will proceed with a refund for unused tickets now. Sorry for the inconvenience. Would've loved to help you play if you would've contacted us through the customer support chat in the app.
