1.00We did not enjoy this experience. There was a lot of walking and directions were not always clear. The app also crashed right at the end and we were never able to actually finish it
Fun way to see city and don't have to do it all at once

4.00It is a fun way to see the city. There is a story and you learn some science on the way. You go to places you might not otherwise see.
Not for the Relativity Literate

3.00I think this tour would be fun for families with kids, but it probably isn't right for science types who are seeking some Einstein biographical trivia (what I thought it would be). The puzzles were somewhat fun, but a little un-even. And engineers who want precisely defined relativity problems will be frustrated.
Fun way to explore. Never...

3.00Good walking path around the city in an interesting way- nothing spectacular though nor incredibly Einstein oriented with the locations you go to. Fun nonetheless!
