5.00Beautiful child-friendly walk through the city. We discovered some things that we would not have seen without this guide, even though we would have been standing in this place. Very exciting.

5.00It was so much fun, We got to see more of Copenhagen than we would have done just wondering around, 😂

1.00I downloaded everything before I left home as I was afraid I could not get it once there. When we were ready for the experience, we could not get it to work on our phones. We were unable to enjoy this as it just wasn't working.

5.00To get there, you can explore something from Copenhagen. To you suburb a bit badly described what you may or where exactly it goes
Scam tour

1.00It was scam! Why were there an option of adding tickets when only one game was played? I paid for two tickets to get "free admission tickets" to the places as described on the website. But guess what? There were no tickets to get inside them. I paid €15 to just walk by places that I could go by myself for free! Is this a new way to soak up people's money?
Not a tour- More like a scavenger hunt

3.00I'd you're looking for a scavenger hunt this is for you. Lots of history and you definitely cover alot of ground. However it took us nearly 3 hours to complete and only stopped once for short break.
Fantastic pleasant experience

5.00Really a fun and different little tour around Copenhagen, where you solve puzzles while walking around the city's beautiful landmarks. We used the trip as a nice after-work thing. But can also be recommended as a family or tourist. A really recommendable tour around beautiful Copenhagen
Misspellings throughout - ruined the experience!

1.00Gutted! This experience was terrible, spelling mistakes throughout. Asked to enter the answer Agnete, with a double tt - even though that’s not what is represented on the plaque. Not sure what four letter animal ends in a “d” either. No faith in the game by the, what a waste of time!!!

5.005 it is a nice app and good experience to visit the city in a different way. We arrived from the airport and straight to play. With the app you know things that I believe just waking the street you won’t find out. Highly Recomend the game
A great family moment

5.00Superb ride on the theme of the true story of the Little Mermaid. My 11 year old daughter got into the game and guided us over 4 km, the best way to see lots of well-known and little-known monuments in a fun way.
