Three of the quests were...

Three of the quests were impossible to solve, 2 of them because the plaques weren't there anymore and the other one because the shop was closed. The idea is very nice but the enigmas weren't really challenging, we got bored fast.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience — and we're really sorry to hear about the issues you faced. Sometimes, real-world locations do change unexpectedly (like missing plaques or closed shops), and we do our best to update quests as soon as we’re aware of these changes. Your feedback helps us spot and fix these faster — so thank you. As for the challenge level, our quests vary widely in style and difficulty. Some are light and fun, while others are more complex — we’d love to recommend a more challenging one if that’s what you’re looking for. We really hope you’ll give Questo another shot — and feel free to reach out so we can guide you to a better fit.

Definitely a game worth doing

I've done this game previously but didn't remember the clues or where we went. I've done a few of these and personally think this is one of the best. Clues are not too difficult that you have to struggle to get them and the information on the app is great so you learn something you didn't previously know about the rock'n'roll era. Everyone really enjoyed doing it

Operator response

Thanks for sharing your experience with us! 🌟 It's awesome to hear that you found our game to be one of the best in your book. We're glad the clues hit that sweet spot where they're not too challenging but still keep the excitement flowing. And isn't it cool when you stumble upon new information and stories from the rock 'n' roll era? 🎸🎤 We're over the moon that everyone had a blast and enjoyed the adventure. Here's to more unforgettable journeys and musical discoveries ahead! 🗺️🎶🎉

Rock n roll 🙂

We had great fun. The game took us to Soho. We were doing the game at dark which makes a challenge harder but still managable with hints. Very informative. We could have some insight what we did not know before.
