Spent a morning completing the scavenger hunt. All of the clues are fairly close to each other and it’s quite level so a very relaxing walk. Some of the clues were a bit cryptic but the there’s a hint button if you get stuck. Great fun !!
😊 Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed a relaxing morning exploring Basel, with the clues conveniently close together. We’re glad the hint button helped when some clues felt a little cryptic, while still keeping the game fun and engaging. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon! 🗺️
Very nice for families. Parking in a parking garage would still be good! Can't do it in 3 hours! Very nice texts for history lovers
😊 Vielen Dank für euer tolles Feedback! Schön, dass euch die Tour besonders als Familie gefallen hat und die Texte für Geschichtsinteressierte interessant waren. Danke auch für den Hinweis zum Parkhaus und zur benötigten Zeit. Wir hoffen, euch bald bei einem neuen Abenteuer in einer anderen Stadt wiederzusehen! 🗺️
It would be great if there was a way to at least copy out the text and have it read out through other apps. So there is a lot of text and you inevitably get out of flow
😊 Vielen Dank für euer hilfreiches Feedback! Wir verstehen gut, dass viel Text den Spielfluss unterbrechen kann. Die Möglichkeit, Texte zu kopieren oder vorlesen zu lassen, wäre sicherlich praktisch. Wir nehmen euren Vorschlag gerne mit, um die Nutzung noch angenehmer und flüssiger zu gestalten. 🗺️
The scavenger hunt is tricky (but easy to solve with the tips) and the distances are short. It leads a bit away from the hustle and bustle and yet the hustle and bustle is just around the corner. We had fun!
😊 Vielen Dank für eure tolle Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass euch die kniffligen, aber mit den Tipps gut lösbaren Rätsel Spaß gemacht haben. Schön, dass euch auch die kurzen Distanzen und die etwas ruhigeren Ecken abseits des Rummels gefallen haben! Wir hoffen, euch bald in einer anderen Stadt wiederzusehen! 🗺️
