We had just 8 hours in Hamburg, so this seemed like a good thing to do. However, opened the app and it stuck on the instructions page. It only allowed us to start the activity the following day, but by that time we were in Berlin. Will ask for my money back...

Really interesting way to see Hamburg main attractions and get the history behind. Only issue was the some of the persons in the group had to log-in every time we got to a new site.
Great way to visit, informatively, around a new city. Good fun with easy challenges whilst also visiting shops and architecture.
We loved doing this hunt. It took us around the city seeing things we wouldn’t have normally seen. Be sure to select walk on the map and not drive! Our first mistake. Have fun and be sure to get some chocolate from the chocolate museum in route!
Interesting tour with lovely riddles. The riddles were advanced but manageable. A good opportunity to walk around in Hamburgs City centre and learn astonishing facts about the city
Last month, I went on a scavenger hunt in Hamburg with my friends. It was so much fun! We walked around the city and learned about its history. We even found some cool hidden spots that we wouldn't have seen otherwise. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hamburg.
Great family event to explore the city and also receive exciting information. Absolutely recommended!
Quite good as a guide for sights - route selection rather confusing. Some "puzzles" are rather very poorly explained. And completed stations are not displayed differently on the map - there are always checkmarks everywhere. In terms of time, a solid 3 hours without a break. But for $4 per person, then 5 stars. In terms of satisfaction and recommendation, rather 3-4.
With this treasure hunt, we looked at the buildings we encountered on the way in the city with different eyes. Nice that you can pause whenever and wherever you want and do everything at your own pace and time.
We had a great time, the audio guide was simple to understand and had a lot of information. If you have children, it is very simple and interactive.
It was a very nice trip. You come to places you would never go yourself. In short, a nice way to discover the place
Very good for discovering with the family but you have to plan time to enjoy it
Great experience and interestingly designed.
A good idea to explore the city. The spoken texts from the AI are annoying and could be more creative. There are repeated content throughout the course. The path was good, but the informational content was rather meager. Not comparable to a city tour. Very unfortunate. Otherwise, a rally that is easy to solve. Overall, rather disappointing.
It was super fun. We did the tour as a couple (mother 53/daughter 18) We would not have explored some sights otherwise (ascending to the tower of St. Peter's Church) or would have passed the St. Nicholas Church only from a distance. In the last puzzle, the hint might be a bit more clear that you have to start counting all over again. Otherwise, a nice tour that can be done in 2.5 hours without sightseeing. Switching to route guidance via Googlemaps is also easy and great between stations. Would book in other cities immediately again!!
Very entertaining way to discover hamburg! very complete and the best thing is that it suited our times. We finished it in two days and were very happy with everything we did!
You get 10 puzzle questions to solve via an app. Between the stations there is always about 10 minutes walk. The puzzles are easy to solve and there are tips if you don't know further. It is easier if each person has their own mobile phone to participate in. Overall made sweet, a pleasant route, we also saw things we would not otherwise have discovered. Overall a funny idea:)
It was a nice scavenger hunt, tasks were varied and sometimes required thinking around the corner. Thank you again.
It was fun and the tasks were easy to solve. Probably wouldn't have passed all places without this tour!
