A great game with an eye for detail

This game -that took us around 90 minutes to complete - was on one hand a lot of fun with a very well written story and thought-out riddles and puzzles. On the other hand you will read a lot about Art Nouveau and the area. Worth playing.

Operator response

Good way to see the city

If you want to see beautiful Art Nouveau buildings in Riga and get to know their economic, social and cultural background, this quest is for you. A few riddles were quite complicated, but you can use a hint to solve them. Some distances between the points were too long, I would prefer to have them shorter. But overall experience was very good.

Operator response

Regarding the excursion in Nouveau with Questo, we appreciate you taking the time to express your gratitude. We appreciate you sharing your amazing experience with us. I'm hoping you'll come play with us soon.
