    Das „Rätsellösen“ war witzig und hat den Stadtrundgang abwechslungsreich gestaltet. Wir hatten vor Jahren schon mal eine Stadtführung gemacht und haben mit der Schnitzeljagd trotzdem noch einiges andere erfahren. Die Infos (gut zu lesen, nicht zu umfangreich) und die Aufgaben wechseln sich ab. Über die App ist die Tour sehr flexibel handhabbar, nach eigenem Tempo, man kann Pausen machen, wie man möchte und nach Belieben die Schnitzeljagd fortführen.

    De activiteit was leuk en goed opgezet. Je kreeg veel uitleg over de bezienswaardigheden waar je bij stond of naartoe moest lopen. Vragen waren soms niet helemaal duidelijk, maar met een hint kwam je best ver. Zeker een aanrader als je een stad wilt gaan verkennen!

    Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Waren eine gr??ere Gruppe, wobei sich nur eine Person die Schnitzeljagd aufs Handy geladen hat, was uns ausgereicht hat. Man erf?hrt etwas ?ber die Sehensw?rdigkeiten und wird auf Sachen aufmerksam gemacht, die man so nicht gesehen oder gedeutet h?tte. Sehr interessant.

    Es war sch?n so Freiburg zu erkunden und Wissenswertes zu lesen. Allerdings w?rde ich nicht empfehlen vorher halt zu machen, sondern erst das Spiel zu Ende zu spielen. Auch nach den Informationen erst schauen, was im n?chsten R?tsel gefragt ist, das geh?rt nicht unbedingt immer zusammen.
