5.00Very easy to use. Walk in Ghent with a tall 16-year-old who also enjoyed it, it energizes the walk while allowing to admire old buildings. We can skip the historical paragraphs if we want, but they're fine.
Fun activity for families with teenagers

4.002 families with children between 11 and 15. The fun thing about the game is that you get to interesting locations and get some background information. Nice to make the teenagers walk without it feeling like walking. The app works well, the participants are alternately designated as group leaders so that everyone is involved. We really enjoyed it.

3.00Nice route and nice story, but took a bit too long. Different missions mixed up was sometimes confusing. Then we would have done something and the progress remained at the same percentage. We didn't finish the game either.
Long story few assignments

3.00It was a rather lengthy story with only a few assignments in between. City itself and route through the city are very nice but ourselves we had hoped for more assignments and less storyline along the way.
Fun sightseeing with a game element

4.00Nice relaxing way to discover the city and see all the highlights. The assignments are fairly easy to complete. It's quite a bit of walking. If you wish, you can read more about the history of each attraction.
Nice day in Ghent

5.00A super cool way to learn more about the buildings in Ghent and the history of Ghent while playing. It is exciting to solve all the riddles against the clock. Unfortunately we had very bad weather, but that didn't deprive us of the fun of the game, maybe just a few moments of delay. We will definitely do this again and try out the other routes. Highly recommended for friends or family to do.
