We shared the quiz as a family which worked well, took 2 hours with a reasonable amount of walking. Enjoyed the quiz which had the right level of challenging questions and information. My only negative comment would be that the walk had a section along unattractive main road which seemed unnecessary as there are so many nicer buildings along smaller streets. As a whole I would recommend
You do need to allocate time and have patience especially regarding directions for the start of the quest. It is essentially a self-guided tour exploring the city which is great. It allows you to get out of the Old Town and see what Riga is really like. We enjoyed the challenges but some we could not do. Use the map feature for guidance and ensure you have the correct building. Worth doing. Art Nouveau here is stunning.
Funny little story accompanied the interesting and relevant information about the architecture and time era in generel. The trip turned out to be much longer than descriped, we walked more than 11 km, which was tough for some in our group
I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the fun story and the architecture details, but I'm truly sorry the walking distance was far longer and tougher than described. We want to look into this route and fix the distance information right away. Please email us at explore@questoapp.com so we can investigate and offer you a free quest to try on your next trip
It was really Great! We had fun and found everything. The houses were beautyful! I like this kind of experience. Do it!!!
Thanks for the enthusiastic recommendation! I'm so glad you had fun discovering those beautiful Art Nouveau houses in Riga. Hope you'll join us for another experience soon!
Went with my daughter. It could have been a bit closer between some of the spots. But orherwise very nice and interesting.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you and your daughter enjoyed discovering Riga’s Art Nouveau treasures. We appreciate your note about the spacing between locations, and we’ll take this into consideration as we continue to improve the route. We’re happy you still found the experience interesting, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure soon.
This game -that took us around 90 minutes to complete - was on one hand a lot of fun with a very well written story and thought-out riddles and puzzles. On the other hand you will read a lot about Art Nouveau and the area. Worth playing.
We're thrilled to hear that you had a great time playing the game and enjoyed the well-crafted story and challenging puzzles. Exploring while learning about Art Nouveau sounds like a fantastic way to spend your time. Thanks for sharing your experience. Happy gaming and exploring! 🎉🕵️♀️🏛️
Great way to explore the city and - entertaining and educational at the same time. Be aware that it covers quite a distance though
Hello! Thanks for sharing your review and we are happy that you have enjoyed the game. Looking forward with your next game with Questo. :)
If you want to see beautiful Art Nouveau buildings in Riga and get to know their economic, social and cultural background, this quest is for you. A few riddles were quite complicated, but you can use a hint to solve them. Some distances between the points were too long, I would prefer to have them shorter. But overall experience was very good.
Regarding the excursion in Nouveau with Questo, we appreciate you taking the time to express your gratitude. We appreciate you sharing your amazing experience with us. I'm hoping you'll come play with us soon.
Even though we are locals, this game showed us details we had never noticed before. Perfect for a walk for couples!
We appreciate your kind words and thank you. Thank you for telling us about your experience. We hope you will tell your family and friends about this and join us for more games in the future.
