“We had a little difficulty getting the app downloaded and ready to go, but once we did we had a lot of fun. Our group: My husband and I (50's) and niece (21). My niece was already familiar with the city as she had been there for about a month. She recognized several of the picture clues, but that didn't detract from the experience. We all enjoyed figuring out the puzzles and getting to know the city. My niece was hesitant at first about doing it, but indulged us, and ended up having a great time.

Explore Cologne’s cathedral, old town, and Chocolate Museum with a flexible self-guided puzzle walk for families and small groups.

Explore Hamburg’s Rathaus, Speicherstadt, Chilehaus, and St. Nikolai with a flexible app-based scavenger hunt for $9.62.
“You get 10 puzzle questions to solve via an app. Between the stations there is always about 10 minutes walk. The puzzles are easy to solve and there are tips if you don't know further. It is easier if each person has their own mobile phone to participate in. Overall made sweet, a pleasant route, we also saw things we would not otherwise have discovered. Overall a funny idea:)Auto-translated”
