This was a great way to acquaint ourselves with Hamburg and learn some history at our own pace. We had a large group with a wide age range, and this scavenger hunt kept everyone engaged. So much better than just wandering on your own!

Very nice, even if 2 young adults can discover the city in a fun way.
We booked the scavenger hunt as a team event. The adventure begins right from the journey; the handover of the equipment is a great start to the tour. If you love escape room games, this is the right place for you. In nice weather, the puzzles led us through HafenCity in all directions. We took several picnic breaks and were on the go for almost 3 hours. Overall, we had a lot of fun. Definitely worth recommending.
It was very funny and an exciting way to explore the harbor city. The puzzles are solvable and it is also fun to solve them, but they could be a little more challenging.
We did the scavenger hunt as a team event with colleagues. Even if there was no personal handover of the backpack everything worked out well. The information needed for the handover came via WhatsApp. The scavenger hunt went all over the Hafencity and on some points there was additional information. If you couldn't get anywhere with a riddle, you could look at solution notes. We finished in about 1.5 hours. The whole team enjoyed it a lot.
Good ideas, a little too long and demanding
Very entertaining tour in the style of an outdoor escape room event. The puzzles are neither too simple nor too heavy. We had a lot of fun guessing. Everything is well prepared. Along the way, we got to know some new places in the Hafencity.
Great thing! We had a lot of fun. We were there in November and had good weather. Have seen a lot and will definitely come back.
The tour was definitely worth the price. They had a great time decoding the locks and clues. They enjoyed the sights and puzzles. The surprise at the end was enjoyed by all.
It was really interesting, exciting and varied. You got to know neighborhoods that you didn't know yet. The puzzles were excitingly structured. Also the tips were very helpful. The scavenger hunt is highly recommended.
