You definitely come across...

You definitely get around well in Nuremberg. There is a lot of history before the puzzles, and the puzzles are relatively short. If the puzzles were a bit longer, I believe it would be even more fun.

Operator response

Vielen Dank für das tolle Feedback! Es freut mich, dass du durch das Spiel viel von Nürnberg sehen konntest. Deinen Hinweis zu den Rätseln und dem Geschichtsanteil nehme ich gerne mit auf, um die Balance für zukünftige Quests noch besser zu machen. Hoffentlich bist du bald wieder bei einem unserer Abenteuer dabei!

The questions were quite...

The questions were quite hard to answer so I suggest you click to the question quickly so the time counts down as you admire the site. Good for getting around to see different areas in the city! We did have to use our phone gps to assist in finding the areas as the map on the app did give us some difficulty!

Operator response

Hi Rhonda, Thanks so much for playing and for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear you enjoyed exploring the city — that's exactly what we hope to inspire with every quest. We appreciate your tip about checking the question early — smart move! Some puzzles can definitely be tricky, and we're always working to strike the right balance between challenge and fun. Also, thank you for the feedback on the map. We're currently working on some improvements to make navigation even smoother in future updates. Hope to see you on another Questo adventure soon — maybe in a new city next time!

Some of the challenges didn’t give a lot of context, but it did share some near history of Nuremberg. You get to see lots of different historical sites around the city.

Great experience despite not finding one of the locations

Overall great experience, although a couple of clues were not very well explained, and one, we couldn't find the location at all! Maybe it was removed? All in all it was worth it though, really fun way to explore a city.

The game was very interesting and allowed us to discover many places in the city. The application is very easy to use and the Help function is very useful when you cannot find the answer to the puzzles.

A fun and different type of tour

It's definitely a fun and different way to see the sights in the city. There's a fun story that feels you become immersed in the puzzles, which worked well. What didn't work as well was the odd glitches and strangely written clues. For example, giving an answer to a decimal place resulted in being told it was wrong - it wanted the answer as a whole number, rounded. Or another clue we simply weren't able to figure out how they got to the answer they did, even after skipping it. With those little bugs worked out, it would be absolutely brilliant - I hope the developer takes note.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm glad to hear that you found the game fun and enjoyed the immersive story. Your feedback about the glitches and clues is valuable, and I appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Please reach out to us at care@questoapp.com with more details so that we can address them. If you decide to embark on more adventures or explore other cities, I hope you have a fantastic time! 🌟🕵️‍♂️🗺️

Good fun.

It was easy to book and navigate, it was an unusual and unique way to see the city. One of the clues had the wrong numbers of letters, bit other than that, it was a good way to take a tour around with some good historical explanations and detail.
