A fun way to discover the biggest sights and learn about the history of Aachen
Bedankt Tessa! 😊 De grootste bezienswaardigheden ontdekken en meer leren over de geschiedenis van Aken — precies wat we willen bieden! We hopen u binnenkort te verwelkomen in een andere stad! 🗺️

Bedankt Kirsten! 😊 De geschiedenis van Aken op een leuke manier ontdekken — precies wat we willen bieden! We hopen u binnenkort te verwelkomen in een andere stad! 🗺️
We visited Aachen for a day and wanted something flexible , this scavenger hunt was just right. It guided us through the main sights and some hidden corners while letting us go at our own pace. The clues were enjoyable, not too hard, and the app worked smoothly. A great way to experience the city with a fun twist!
Thank you so much! 😊 Flexible, guiding you through main sights and hidden corners at your own pace with a fun twist — that's exactly the experience we want to create for a day trip! We're glad the app worked smoothly too. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
Visited the city for work and thought I'd try to do some exploring alone. The app was easy to use and it allowed me to have an exploring plan quickly without having to google for hours! Highly recommended
Thank you so much! 😊 Turning a solo work trip into a fun city exploration without hours of Googling — that's exactly the problem we want to solve! We're so glad Aachen delivered. We hope to join you on your next solo adventure in a different city! 🗺️
Wonderful city and excellent tour! We had a lot of fun with the puzzles and enjoyed the sightseeing information. Well made app!
Thank you so much! 😊 Wonderful city, excellent tour, fun puzzles and a well made app — that's everything we want to offer in one experience! We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
A rather simple puzzle tour. The puzzles are simple, even the way does not have to be discovered, but the next destination is named directly. No story behind it, just the sights. Okay to get started.
Vielen Dank für Ihr ehrliches Feedback! 😊 Wir nehmen Ihre Anmerkungen über den Schwierigkeitsgrad der Rätsel und die fehlende Story ernst — wir arbeiten kontinuierlich daran, unsere Inhalte mit mehr Tiefe und Spannung zu bereichern. Unsere Audio-Narration bietet bereits Geschichten und Legenden zu jedem Ort — wir hoffen, Sie in einer anderen Stadt mit einer noch reichhaltigeren Erfahrung begrüßen zu dürfen! 🗺️
The questions in the scavenger hunt were unclear. If you just walk through the city you will automatically pass all the highlights. Completely unnecessary.
Bedankt voor uw eerlijke feedback. Het spijt ons dat de vragen in Aken niet duidelijk genoeg waren en dat de ervaring niet aan uw verwachtingen voldeed. We nemen uw opmerkingen serieus en zullen de inhoud van deze route zorgvuldig herzien. Ons doel is altijd om een ervaring te bieden die verder gaat dan een gewone stadswandeling — met verhalen, context en uitdagingen die de stad op een nieuwe manier laten zien. We hopen u ooit te mogen verwelkomen in een andere stad waar we u kunnen verrassen! 🗺️
Interesting information, surprising anecdotes and nice observation games. Gives aims to reach and animates your visit of the city.
Thank you so much Erika! 😊 Interesting information, surprising anecdotes and observation games that give your city visit a real purpose — that's exactly what we want to create! We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
The questions weren't always clear. The stories about the museums, among others, were quite commercial, more of an advertisement. For children, the treasure hunt was boring.
😊 Bedankt voor jullie eerlijke feedback! Jammer dat sommige vragen niet duidelijk genoeg waren en dat de informatie over de musea te commercieel aanvoelde. Ook vinden we het jammer dat de speurtocht voor kinderen niet boeiend genoeg was. We nemen deze punten zeker mee om de ervaring te verbeteren. 🗺️
Great experience in Aachen! The riddles were fun and led us to some amazing spots around the city. A relaxed and unique way to explore cathedral and museums. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
