We did the Explorial trail in Aix-en-Provence as a family and absolutely loved it. Having played Explorial in other cities before, we already knew the concept, and this one definitely did not disappoint!It is a super fun, interactive, and engaging way to discover the beautiful streets and history of Aix-en-Provence at your own pace. The riddles were exciting, and it kept the whole family entertained throughout. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city!
Wow, thank you so much for this awesome review! So happy you and your familly loved exploring Aix-en-Provence with us. Discovering the city at your own pace while solving fun riddles is truly the best way to see the sights. Thanks again for the recommandation, we hope to see you on another Explorial soon!
Great for our two children, 12 and 15 years old, who could play along since the app is available in German. Great value for money! Highly recommended
Hallo Thomas, vielen Dank für die tolle Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihre beiden Kinder dank der deutschen Sprachversion selbst aktiv mitspielen konnten – genau das macht Explorial für Familien so besonders: Alle können gleichermaßen miträtseln, unabhängig vom Alter. Auch das Lob für das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis freut uns riesig. Vielen Dank für die Empfehlung – wir hoffen, wir sehen Sie und Ihre Familie bald wieder bei Explorial in einer anderen Stadt!

Hier ein Vorschlag auf Französisch: Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour ce merveilleux avis ! Nous sommes ravis que l'expérience vous ait plu, que ce soit en famille ou entre amis, et que le mélange entre jeu de piste et découverte culturelle vous ait permis d'explorer Aix-en-Provence à votre rythme, sans stress. Merci également d'avoir souligné le côté ludique des énigmes — c'est exactement l'équilibre que nous cherchons à créer avec Explorial. Merci encore pour votre recommandation, et à bientôt pour une nouvelle aventure Explorial dans une autre ville !
It was very inclusive for all people, and a fun way to learn about the city, both historically and modern times. Showed us parts of the city and details we might have overlooked if we were just wandering.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.
this experience is cheaper in the Explorial app. it mounted to 22€ because you can't reserve only for one person. the questions and instructions were too basic and taken out of Wikipedia. In general, too expensive for what it offers.

Practical and fun way to explore and learn about a place. My wife and I certainly learned a lot about the beautiful and historical town of Aix-en-Provence and 2 hours was just about right timing for the hunt. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
Being able to spot interesting details that you’d otherwise miss. You sometimes had to look hard to find the correct subject- good mental exercise!
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
We loved the app game and the tour through Aix!! Even our teenage kids were excited! Its self guided tour but we prefer to walk pur own path and not in large group or the tourist train.
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
It was a very funny experience going on Adventure in Aix following the app and Solvang the tasks. Lots of very interesting information which wasn’t possible to find in any tourist guide or online. It even consisted of gimmicks and humor. We were Wissing there would have been more locations to find, more photo-tasks and more information about the city. We missed that a little, and some of the stops were under restoration which made it difficult to solve.
Thank you so much for your review Anne! We are always looking for ways to improve our player experience. We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
Me and my partner did the trail together. We couldn’t ask for a better way to get to know this cute place! so much fun :)
Many thanks for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
