En lisant le descriptif et les commentaires, je pensais qu’il fallait découvrir le lieu suivant en résolvant l’énigme. En réalité, tous les lieux que nous allons voir apparaissent dès le début. C’est vraiment décevant. On n’a plus l’effet de surprise. Les énigmes sont simples mais intéressantes. L’itinéraire entre chaque point est bien indiqué. J’aurai plaisir à découvrir cette activité sur d’autres villes.

Super activité qui permet de découvrir Paris sans devoir organiser le parcours à l’avance. Les énigmes permettent de s’attarder davantage sur les points de passage, même s’il est parfois plus difficile de comprendre l’énigme que d’y répondre ! On peut faire des pauses et changer d’itinéraire pour reprendre le parcours plus tard. Pour 2 personnes, 1 téléphone suffit.

Pas mal mais si j’avais su je n’aurai pas payé pour les 9 personnes que nous étions car tout se passe sur votre téléphone que vous soyez seul ou 15. L’activité peut être améliorée par des explications en lien avec les monuments visités ce qui n’est pas toujours le cas.

Schöne Tour durch Paris über Sehenswürdigkeiten, die wir nach drei Tagen noch nicht alle gesehen bzw. wahrgenommen hatten. Nicht alle Beschreibungen waren korrekt (eine Brücke hatte keine Statuen, die im Text aber genannt wurden). Die Vorlesestimme war nicht erträglich (viiiiel zu langsam). Die Kinder hatten aber Spass abwechselnd zu lesen, daher nicht so schlimm.

Ich habe die App genutzt um spontan einen Stadtrundgang durch Paris zu finden ohne mich vorher vorzubereiten oder einen Reiseführer zu benutzen. Dies gelang gut und das Spiel selbst hat auch Spaß gemacht. Allerdings mussten wir den Weg von Station zu Station selber googlen über Maps, da keine Wegbeschreibung zum nächsten Ziel integriert ist. Daher nur 4 statt 5 Sterne.

Was a great way to keep the kids motivated while walking to tourist attractions. A few longer stretches between sites, but generally not too far, although all up we did 9.5km on the scav hunt (plus more visiting sites). Was a fun way to see Paris.
