Nice game to motivate kids to walk around in Venice.
The experience was nice, it mixes the story with real informations about Venice and makes it light ti explore the city with kids that get motivated by the game. The starting point could be explained slightly better, and the translation of the tour in Italian was quite bad considering that we’re in Italy, but apart from that we had quite some fun in solving it.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad the game made exploring Venice fun for your kids. We appreciate your feedback about the starting point and translation—we’ll work on improving both for future players. Hope to see you on another quest soon!

Pretty fun and very cheap short experience in Venice
I think that this was a fun little activity. We did it in a pair and we went around solving the little riddles and exploring the city. I think kids and families would enjoy this the most, becasue the story is entertaining and you also learn a little history by solving very easy puzzles.

Good & Inexpensive
A great way to see the city on your own schedule. Just make sure you have Wi-Fi on your phone, otherwise it is useless, even if you download it before hand. But for the money, it is definitely worth it.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing positive experience with Questo. We are grateful that you enjoyed the game. Hope to see you explore more games with us.

Sure I learnt a bit about the San Marco area. But a proper guided app /podcast is a better use of your time/money
This is an app based guide wrapped up in a childish story that is barely believable.
We anticipated something more challenging and adult.

Super game, not too hard
The game is well explained and the puzzles are easy to solve. Children can also be involved.
Especially in Venice with its many alleys we have nevertheless come to the next challenge without detours.

Something to try.
Different type of sightseeing, perfect for introverts as it doesn't require any human interaction. ;)
Nice story and riddles although it's hard to follow when accompanied by small children.
