Nice idea, you can guide yourself through the city and explore the sights, funny little riddles, Often you have to look up the information for the sights separately. Interesting ghoststories an facta popp up after a riddle, even they aren't linked to the sight you are visiting at the moment or the next sight We can still absolutely recommend this game :)

This was quite a fun and engaging way of walking round the old town. There could have been a little more contextual history.
