Friends’ night out

5.00On holiday with a couple of female friends, and we wanted a light-hearted evening activity. Didn’t want an organised ghost walk as we’d already done a walking tour. We all enjoy geocaching so this seemed like a perfect compromise. The clues were challenging enough to keep us focussed, but achievable,and we got to explore part of the city that we might not have otherwise seen.
We will definitely use Questo again — a great way to explore a city in a playful way

4.00We tried Questo in Budapest and were really excited. Downloading and unlocking the tour worked without any problems, and it was super convenient that you could play the game on two devices in parallel. The tour itself was really well done: exciting puzzles, interesting information and you get to places that you might otherwise have missed. We were traveling a lot in Budapest and discovered new things — just like it should be. The app ran stable, the navigation was clear and everything worked smoothly. It was fun, entertaining and informative at the same time.
good for the price

3.00it 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

4.00Friendly 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 🤷

4.00There 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

2.00There 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!

3.00It was nice, map is not 100% accurate. We missed one spot as couldn't find it at all. Use a lot of battery so sadly couldn't find it
Had lots of fun while strolling the city

5.00We 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!

4.00Funny 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.
