There’s a few rules to the games and the local partner will remind you of them before playing, but just so you know: every riddle is made up of (cryptic) directions and a question. To answer the question, you can try as many answers as you like. If you’re stuck, you can ask for a hint or skip a riddle

It was fun. The riddles were a nice mix of easy enough not to stump you for too long but hard enough to keep you interested. We got to explore Munich a different way and got to see a lot of random things along the way that I’m not I would’ve seen if we just walked aimlessly

The game was a lot of fun. We walked a lot and in the end we were able to solve all the puzzles (sometimes with tips). It was impractical that some places / sights are packed in the winter with wood / in construction sites, which was not considered. The game was in English, we wanted to play it in German, which did not work.

Overall, very fun, if a bit exhausting

We thought it was a shame that the tour was in English, although I remember choosing to speak German somewhere, luckily we all spoke English and it did not matter. A formulation in the fourth puzzle we found somewhat misleading. All in all, we had a lot of fun and would book a comparable tour at any time!
