5.00Maelle was our game master and put us right in the game. From the concept, the content to the places the games took us to, my 9 year old and I absolutely loved it. If you don't want a guided tour, but want to learn about Athens through the centuries with a scavenger hunt/escape game twist, this is what you need! Maelle was one message away when we needed clues and offered a wealth of knowledge on local businesses as well as historical info. Merci Maelle! On a adoré le jeu, les recommandations et ton aide. 🤩🎉
Awesome

5.00Great time spent with family which is original and ideal to discover the history of Athens. We were with our 2 big children (17 and 19 years old) and we liked it very much all 4! I highly recommend, it is an unusual and informative activity. One of our best memories of our stay in Greece. Congratulations to Maëlle for carrying out this activity.
Great activity!

5.00Athens City Game: The Journey through Time. Fantastic game and a great way to see the city that you won't get from standard tours. Maelle was a great time travel guide who was always available over WhatsApp for clues when we got a bit stuck. The riddles and tasks were fun, engaging and varied. Maelle also gave us some great recommendations for food and drinks around the city. Fairly priced, would definitely recommend.
A highlight of our whole trip!

5.00My partner and I had such a fun time playing the "Escape Athens: A Journey Through Time" game last week. What an incredibly fun way to explore the city and learn about its history - aspects that were both expected and unexpected! The game was incredibly fun and provided an excellent balance of relaxed walking through the city with feeling the thrill of completing puzzles to challenge ourselves. Having fun while solving each clue was such a unique and memorable way to learn about the history of the city and Greece as a whole. I cannot recommend this enough. I will absolutely be checking out more games or tours through Culture Hunters the next time I go to Greece.
