Entertaining story, but it should've been longer - It was my first time using the app, but everything went nicely. The story was good, took us all around the city, but somehow I wish it was longer. Also, some of the riddle solutions were hard to find (e.g. 10 solutions were in Romanian, 11th was in English. Why?).

Fun but why do I pay a premium as a solo traveller? - An effective bit of fun. Some of the puzzles really didn't work well at all, but overall the game was fun and informative enough to warrant four stars. Deducting one, though, for the absurd and exploitative policy of charging a solo-traveller premium. It's a game in an app, for goodness sake! What possible excuse is there for charging me more per-person than if I were with someone else?!

Lowkey a scam - The riddles are flawed, have wrong information (they claim the museum is free, it's not, it was super awkward), the directions are terrible and sometimes the pin is off, the story is weird, the riddles are pointless and boring
