We were 16 persons. We splitted into 4 teams. We competed as 4 teams! It was a very nice experience ! The good point was that there is no time limit to finish the game so we did it at our own pace!

A good tour through Munich’s attractions and plazas. We liked that we could start just 2 minutes before and we didn’t schedule anything else. That way we had an almost free walking tour (25 euros in total) and we solved riddles, based on location which was something different for us.
