“We recently did the CityQuester tour as a team build in Prague. It was well received by the team who moved around the snowy city solving clues in an interactive way. Yaryna took care of the team during the event and she was great. Really appreciated the approach in organizing the event, the flexibility and communication. Would definitely recommend and do it again. Thank you”

Solve clues through Charleston’s historic streets in this flexible self-guided walking game, with churches, hidden corners, puzzles, and plenty of local character.
“We definitely saw places we would not have otherwise discovered like the alley with the artsy gates and the 81/2 house. I’m glad we did it. The story was okay, but didn’t add much to the experience. The GPS was helpful. The hardest thing about it was the content was difficult to read as it was small, dark colored font. It was a sunny day. If I could have enlarged the font or lightened it, it would have been more enjoyable.”
Explore nine Savannah landmarks with a self-guided app hunt featuring history, challenge photos, family fun, and flexible timing.
“The first red flag was the difficulty in following the instructions to download the app and enter the code since bought the tickets from a 3 rd party online. I ended up calling customer service to Viator who calmly walked me though it-she was great and very effective but without her help it would have been impossible. The tour itself was not interesting at all. There was little informative facts or info regarding the buildings we were sent to. The game seemed intent on earning coins and posting selfie’s not at all on giving historical information. The hunt just ran us around. Someone’s doing well charging what they do for…”
