it was fun to do, but the puzzles were often times really easy, and at other times unfindable because of construction causing us to lose quite a few points. the stories were fine.
It was really good

Friendly occupation for the Halloween evening that allowed us to explore and have a good time. Watch out for some pictures that are not in order, and a clue that I think no longer appears on the door of the house-ivy 🤷

There were some problems with the location of the fountain but other than that it was very fun. Also it would have been nice if we could see pictures of the people

There is a download function. However, the game closed while I was taking a photo and I couldn't open it again without internet. What a pity!

We had great fun exploring the city of Budapest, while learning about long-forgotten stories of some buildings or its tenants. The cool part were the tasks or questions that you would not be able to answer via a simple Google search, you have to go and look in person! It was overall a great experience!
Something different again!

Funny to walk through the city this way. While puzzling and reading lots of fun facts. However, few highlights of Budapest itself are discussed. That would have made it even more fun.
