Self-organized small city tour
A great idea to get to know the city of Nuremberg and solve a few puzzles at the same time. It is very practical that you can organize the tour however you like - both the order of the stops and the pace at which you want to travel or how long you want to linger at certain stops.
Operator response
Vielen Dank Romy! 😊 Die Reihenfolge der Stationen, das Tempo und die Verweildauer selbst bestimmen, während man Nürnberg kennenlernt und Rätsel löst, genau diese Flexibilität wollen wir bieten! Wir hoffen, Sie bald in einer anderen Stadt begrüßen zu dürfen! 🗺️

Nuremberg self guided tour
Nice way to see the City.
Quiz construction sometimes slightly vague, sometimes very easy.

Worth it
Some of the puzzles are easy, others are more difficult, but there are hints for those. As described, you don't need tickets, since all the puzzles are in freely accessible areas. It's fun, even in the rain!
Operator response
Vielen Dank! 😊 Eine gute Mischung aus einfachen und schwierigeren Rätseln mit Hinweisen zur Hilfe, und alles in frei zugänglichen Bereichen, sogar bei Regen, genau das wollen wir in Nürnberg bieten! Wir hoffen, Sie bald in einer anderen Stadt begrüßen zu dürfen! 🗺️

Entertaining walk
Absolutely recommended. Entertaining way to get to know the city on your own. The stations are well chosen and the puzzles are challenging but solvable. Had a nice day and learned a few interesting things.

Es freut uns, dass Sie einen schönen Tag hatten und einiges Wissenswertes gelernt haben. Wir hoffen, Sie bald in einer anderen Stadt begrüßen zu dürfen! 🗺️

Fun but a little easy
Very fun experience that really helped us get to many attractions in an interactive way! While we really enjoyed the puzzles/games some of them were pretty easy and didn't require enough thought to make it feel that fullfilling. Would still recommend though!! :D
Operator response

We take your feedback about the difficulty level seriously and continuously work on making our puzzles more challenging and rewarding.

Amusing scavenger hunt to all the sights of Nuremberg
The scavenger hunt took us to all the main sights of the city, had entertaining puzzles on board and provided us with additional information :)
The order of the stations is variable - we perceived this as very positive.

Very detailed, but time consuming!
The scavenger hunt will take you to places you probably wouldn't see in detail yourself. However, you should be good on foot and allow a lot of time. We've split them up into two days. Unfortunately, the Tief Brunnen near the Imperial Castle was no longer accessible in the evening, so we unfortunately could not answer the last question. Overall, you will get many interesting details about the sights of Nuremberg. But some puzzles cannot be solved without a hint....
In any case, we now know much more about Nuremberg!
Operator response
Vielen Dank für Ihre ausführliche Rückmeldung! 😊 Schön, dass Sie durch die Schnitzeljagd auch Orte und Details in Nürnberg entdeckt haben, die man sonst vielleicht übersehen würde, und dass Sie die Tour sogar auf zwei Tage aufteilen konnten. Es tut uns leid, dass der Tiefe Brunnen abends nicht mehr zugänglich war und eine Frage dadurch offenblieb. Auch Ihren Hinweis zu den Rätseln nehmen wir gerne mit, damit sie ohne zusätzliche Hinweise besser lösbar sind. Wir hoffen, Sie hatten trotz allem viel Freude beim Entdecken Nürnbergs und begrüßen Sie gerne wieder in einer anderen Stadt! 🗺️

Cool way to see Nurember
App was easy to use, directions and stories were interesting. Got to see lots of different parts of Nuremberg, which was neat. Some of the challenges were pretty tough and a couple more hints would have been helpful.
