I have the starting point...
I did not find the starting point and no one from support can be reached. Total rip-off. Please do not book
Operator response
Es tut mir wirklich leid zu hören, wie frustrierend die Suche nach dem Startpunkt war. Die Route startet direkt am Wiener Rathaus und wird über die Aktivierungsanleitung freigeschaltet, die direkt nach der Buchung per E-Mail verschickt wird. Wir möchten unbedingt mehr darüber erfahren, um das Problem für dich zu lösen. Bitte schreibe uns an explore@questoapp.com, damit wir der Sache nachgehen und dir eine kostenlose Quest anbieten können, um das Erlebnis noch einmal richtig auszuprobieren.

Interesting
It is a nice experience, even for locals, as you discover the history behind a lot of landmarks, which normally you wouldn't notice.

Fun way to see Vienna
Directions put us in the heart of Vienna. Great way to view the city and the amazing history. Sometimes the tracking was a bit confusing for the kids, but overall it’s a fun way to walk the city.

Disappointing in December
App loaded fine as did the ‘mission’. Started ok until we got to the second location where a Christmas market obscured what we could see. Then one of the clues was disappointing as needed a name repeated? Then the route was obstructed by gates blocked in a park necessitating a wide detour with no hope of meeting the time requirement…We also thought the clues were a bit simplistic- we successfully guessed a couple without going to stop point. On the plus side it was not expensive but we won’t be looking to do another from this company.
Operator response
hank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear the experience didn’t meet your expectations.
Seasonal events like Christmas markets and temporary park closures in December can unfortunately affect routes and visibility, and we clearly need to handle this better or communicate it more clearly in advance. We also appreciate your comments about the puzzles feeling too simple, this is helpful feedback for improving the experience.
Thank you for giving it a try, and for sharing your honest thoughts.

Fun way to discover Vienna!
Fun way to discover the city center and its history, imagining you're a spy. Play it as a couple and it's really worth your time. It includes most of the main historical attractions in Vienna's center.

Great spy trail
Great trail around Vienna city centre. The clues were tricky but not too hard. The route offered plenty of opportunities to pause for a drink or an ice cream - we lunched at the Naschmarkt.
