Interesting, educational, but still in need of improvement

4.00Good, but not yet mature. Starting point should be suggested as soon as possible due to the location exemption.
Doesn't add much.

2.00Offers few extras compared to the traditional free city walking map of the tourist info. Must be walked within 24 hours and costs €15.99 Unless you like childish questions, don't.
Scammed your hunt was fun

Could be made more creative

3.00Overall, the cuddly hunt was a bit shallow. Some forms of counting on the outside of the church was not so insightful now. And then the number was not to be determined correctly. Here I would have liked more creativity, passages through small alleys and genuine search for hidden surprises. The content should be revised again.
Disaster

4.00Beautiful city to walk and discover the new and old part of it. In the beginning, i did not expect it to be that much pretty for a small city close to hamburg.
Great experience

5.00A very good way to learn about the city and the history of the sights. It was a lot of fun!

5.00The capital of the Hanseatic League, Lübeck is an interesting city to visit at any time of the year! The city's Christmas market is famous and really nice! This time we were on a short visit in April and met spring with, among other things, blooming lilacs. We also strolled around and looked at beautiful historic buildings. Celebrated the birthday at Shiffergesellschaft, "the world's oldest pub" from the 16th century! Fantastic environment, but unfortunately the food was far from affordable.. my schnitzel cost 35 euros and then I got a big piece of veal and potatoes, -nothing more!.. On request I eventually got some brown sauce.. The other dishes were also disappointing! But there are other places in Lübeck until next time!
A great opportunity to get to know Lübeck!

4.00We were able to get to know Lübeck well with the help of the scavenger hunt. Unfortunately, the description explicitly stated that it starts at the castle gate. When we finally arrived at the castle gate and started the tour, we realized that we could have started from any station on the scavenger hunt. We had already walked past all the sights once. We would also have liked the app to navigate us directly along particularly beautiful paths and not via Google Maps, because, for example, a small detour along the river bank can be much nicer than a busy road. And one last suggestion or tip: the water steps were our personal highlight in Lübeck, but they don't have a place in the scavenger hunt.
