Hele leuke route door de stad waardoor je in een keer alle highlights hebt gezien. De opdrachten maken dat je net naar andere dingen kijkt dan als je er gewoon langs loopt. Fijn dat je gewoon in eigen tempo kan lopen en evt tussenstops kan maken, maar toch zonder na te denken langs alle mooie dingen door Antwerpen loopt. Zeker een aanrader!

It’s overall good guide once you get the handle on how to navigate the app. The link took me to a webpage, not to download link for an app which threw me off a bit because the design is a bit wonky. I’d recommend a design change in order to make the experience more seamless and integrate the map function into the guide since that’s what I was expecting.

Hierbij onze terugblik op de leuke, succesvolle ervaring die we hadden in Antwerpen afgelopen weekend. We boekten de World City Trail speurtocht door Antwerpen. Het boeken ging erg makkelijk, we kregen snel de benodigde informatie via de mail om het spel te spelen. Vanaf het startpunt gingen we met z’n vieren op stap (2 volwassenen en 2 kinderen van 8 en 10 jaar). De puzzels waren uitdagend maar goed op te lossen. Vanwege de tijd hebben we de speurtocht in 2 delen gedaan, wat erg makkelijk was. Al met al een hele leuke uitdaging om op deze manier de stad te verkennen. We zijn al weer aan het kijken voor de volgende City Trail! Groet, Fam. Dessing
