Was cadeau voor zoon en kleinzoon. Ze vonden het geweldig en hebben meteen de volgende alweer in de planning staan. Vooral de hints vonden ze heel fijn.

Wij hebben een leuke tocht langs de mooiste plekken van Amersfoort gedaan. Duidelijke route hoe je moet lopen, bijzondere wetenswaardigheden en we hebben de dief gevonden 😀 Erg leuk om te doen.

    Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is. We vonden het heel leuk om te doen! We waren met 4 volwassenen en 2 kinderen. De puzzels waren niet echt moeilijk; de kinderen konden ze meestal wel goed oplossen. We kenden Utrecht al behoorlijk goed, maar je komt toch op andere plekken en je kijkt toch weer anders naar de stad.

    Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is. Leuk spel waardoor je de stad / plaats beter leert kennen. Niet bedoeld om de spelfanaten aan hun trekken te laten komen, maar wel bedoeld om spelenderwijs mooie, leuke, wetenswaardige plekken van de locatie te zien. Heel leuk gedaan! Ook de tweede was erg leuk te doen. Het is op een speelse wijze de stad leren kennen. We hebben nu ook de derde stad gedaan. Ondanks dat we de stad al eens bezochten, zie je heel veel leuke en nieuwe dingen waardoor de stad leuker is.

    Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is. Het was een erg leuke middag. We hebben een moordenaar in Eindhoven ontmaskerd. Tijdens onze tocht leerden we veel over dingen in de stad die we nog nooit bewust gezien hadden. Hele leuke toevoeging. We hadden ruim 2,5 uur nodig om de klus te klaren. Enkele vragen waren echte notenkrakers. Éen keer hebben we assistentie gevraagd. We hebben er van genoten. Net geen 5 sterren omdat we een paar vragen te onduidelijk vonden, maar de tocht is absoluut de moeite waard.

    Geverifieerd Leuke route met opdrachten die goed te doen waren Leuke route met opdrachten die goed te doen waren. De route kwam langs een aantal rustigere en minder bekende plekken in de stad dus even weg van de toeristische hotspots. Heel leuk ook om de weetjes te lezen.
