Mark– United Kingdom –
I really enjoyed it. Some of the puzzles were really simple and one of them I overthought so my fault. Locations are just an approximation. You need to find the exact place yourself. Would do another? Yes. Would I recommend this one? Yes

Netherlands –
De opdrachten waren erg wisselend in moeilijkheidsgraad. De eerste opdracht begrepen we niet. Ook de opdracht met wat ontbreekt er was lastig, omdat we wel zagen wat er ontbrak maar toen moest er een cijfer ingevuld worden.
Australia –
We got to see places we wouldn’t normally visit and had fun as a family solving the clues.
