Turned sightseeing into a game (and I loved it)

5.00Loved this Paris tour app! Solving riddles at each stop made us actually notice details we'd normally walk past, and the points system was oddly addictive. We discovered hidden corners of the city and learned real history along the way. Fun, clever, and so much better than a standard walking tour. Highly recommend!

5.00My friends and I had such a great time playing this scavenger hunt tour in Lille, so we decided to give it a go in Paris. We were not disappointed! The clues led us to some off-the-beaten-path locations that we never would have found otherwise.
