This was just really bad. Wasted time and money. You go a little here and there, but don't really need to go around to solve the task, you can just as well sit at home. Have done this in Copenhagen and it was very fun, so I had expected something more than what we got. Disappointed!

Good fun on a warm day. Tough to get to the start. Best part might be interacting with shop owner at the origination. Gave us some samples

We found it difficult and boring. It took a long time and involved a lot of walking. Very disappointed and not as much fun as we hoped.

This "Solve a Mystery" experience was a fantastic surprise included with our OsloPass! We explored the historic Akershus Fortress while cracking codes and piecing together a real-life crime that happened there long ago. It felt like we were playing Sherlock Holmes for an afternoon! Great way to learn some cool history and see the fortress in a new light. Highly recommend, especially if you're traveling with kids or anyone who enjoys a good puzzle. 🇳🇴
