Het was een fijne wandeling. Soms redelijk lang wandelen (20min) tussen de verschillende plaatsen, vooral aan het begin van de tocht. Mooie plaatsen gezien!

Die Idee ist super und die meisten R?tsel auch gut l?sbar. Bei anderen r?t man allerdings ziemlich lange rum, weil die Aufgabe nicht eindeutig ist bzw es ist nicht klar was man als L?sung eingeben soll. Konkrete Fragestellungen w?rden helfen.

Het was enorm leuk om Brussel zo eens van een andere kant te ontdekken. Sommige plaatsen hadden we anders nooit gezien! De antwoorden op sommige vragen waren wel onbegrijpelijk, andere weer te voor de hand liggend.

We liked very much that you don’t have to just search things and find trivia answers, but you really have to think and understand some of the riddles! Some of them were very easy, some of them a bit hard but with the use of the hints it was ok!

Some of the riddles are challenging, some of them easier. It is a game of a mix difficulty. The app worked properly and in general the walk we made is amazing! We took many photos!

Really nice way to explore the city! We started from Triumphal arch and ended somewhere close to Grand place. After that we went for lunch. The whole party agreed that this was a very nice activity. Also very smart riddles 🙂
