This was a fun way to see the highlights of Salzburg. My only complaint was the last two clues required a significant uphill hike. This would have been nice to know ahead of time, so we could determine whether we wanted to make the effort.

I recommend this game, it's a really wonderful way to explore the city. I had an absolutely amazing experience with my better half.

Took a lot of setup at the beginning, you have to download a separate app and setup an account. Once it got going it was fun to see some spots and get the history, but it is difficult sometimes to get to the exact location to make the story continue.

It is a waste of money as the gardens are closed and the snow hides most of the statues. Shouldn’t be sold in winter.

It was just a very different way of exploring the city and places from sound of music. Made it entertaining for our teenage kids.

A bit disappointing, the free Salzburg self walking guide was better. Wouldn't recommend, didn't really enjoy.

Very interesting and funny. Got to see large parts of Salzburg at the same time as we got exercise and history. Recommended when you want to discover Salzburg and the sound of music on your own. Unfortunately a little hard to find sometimes, even with clues, otherwise we were happy.

Half the places were closed, covered or otherwise inaccessible. Frustrating experience, not fun and entertaining that we signed up for
