Had a great day with the city trail Rotterdam!
Had a great day with the city trail Rotterdam! You will get to places where you normally don't go so fast and through the questions and the explanations to the answers you will learn some of it! Clear route and space enough to have a nice coffee, lunch or a drink on the way.

Bedankt voor de fantastische review! Ik ben erg blij dat jullie een superleuke dag hadden in Rotterdam en dat de vragen jullie naar nieuwe, onbekende plekken hebben geleid. De route op eigen tempo lopen en onderweg genieten van een welverdiende koffiepauze is precies hoe wij de ervaring bedoeld hebben. Hopelijk ontdekken jullie snel weer een andere stad met ons!

Doesn't work. Money shredder
It's not working. Suport absolutely not fit for purpose. Then gave up eventually. It's too bad. Surely not again next time.

Skip this one.
Booked this for my son and his friend while they travel through Europe. It was not as described and although it was inexpensive, it should have been free. Pretty disappointing.
Operator response
Sorry this didn't meet your expectation. We'd appreciate if you could send us an e-mail at explore@questoapp.com where you could describe more about what you think we should improve. As for requesting it for free, I kindly invite you to use Google Maps, that's free.

Nice adventure!
Very nice adventure to discover the essential points of the city! You can take the time to discover each point because the time stops during discoveries. The stories are super well done and the explanation points are very understandable. For the little ones, the stories are too long but they love to follow the adventure. I advise the game from 10 years.
Operator response
Thank you for the lovely feedback! We're thrilled that you enjoyed discovering the city's highlights at your own pace. It's great to hear that the stories and explanations were engaging, even if a bit lengthy for the younger adventurers. Your recommendation for families with children aged 10 and up is much appreciated. We hope to see you on another adventure soon!

Not enjoyed the game
I didn't enjoy the game at all because I was misinformed. So I paid for nothing. The tourist service of the station gave us a map to visit.

Bad experience, won't recommend it to anyone
The game didn't open so we couldn't play it. I couldn't reach anyone in the Netherlands, and had to go to a foreign lady who couldn't help me either. So unfortunately very dissatisfied. I haven't got my money back yet either.

Fun and informative
Basically, I find this type of scavenger hunt innovative and interesting. What was annoying for me, however, was that when I wanted to pause, it wasn't possible. So the game was over before I reached the end.

Fun game, interesting story, good tour of Rotterdam
We enjoyed this "scavenger hunt" escape game as a way to explore Rotterdam. The story line was entertaining, and the clues led us to all kinds of interesting things to see. Some of the puzzle solutions were just a bit too obscure for us, but the hints helped solve them. We did have some trouble with crowds and construction sites, we were there on the King's Birthday holiday, and many streets were madhouses of vendors and people partying. Working our way through the crowds slowed us down and made some of the clues harder to find, on a different day it would be easier. I would like to see more information about route and distance to be traveled. As it turned out, we didn't have time to finish the game, which was a bit disappointing. The distances between targets were more than we expected, and we didn't hurry when we should have. What we did complete was fun and interesting, and we're going to investigate what other exploration games are available from Questo where we live.
