Karin– Germany –
Hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht, die Kölner Sehenswürdigkeiten auf diese Weise zu erreichen und zu erkunden 😉 Die Rätsel waren (bis auf das erste, das zum Reinkommen ins Spiel ned ganz so toll war) ned zu schwierig und durchaus alle lösbar. Wenn es in der App noch die Möglichkeit gegeben hätte, für nicht zugängliche Orte (zu unserer Zeit war eine Baustelle rund ums Rathaus) zumindest ein Bild zu bekommen, um damit auf die Lösung zu kommen, wären es volle 5 Sterne geworden 😉

Navigation in der App wäre schön, damit man nicht immer zu Google maps switchen muss
