I didn’t enjoy the scavenger hunt. I wanted more information along the way. And the times when information was given it was a robot voice. I didn’t complete the tour.

Itinerary
Starting at the Spitalbastei, the mighty southern bastion, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and pass through the walls into the old town. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. The Plönlein soon appears — the tilted yellow house between two tower gates that launched a million postcards and, allegedly, a Disney sketch or two. The photo task is mandatory by moral law. At the Klingentorbastei, riddles patrol the northern defences, where wall, tower and waterworks combined into one clever fortress corner. Then the Stadtkirche St. Jakob delivers the finale: Tilman Riemenschneider's Holy Blood altar, carved so finely it seems to breathe. Around two hours inside the walls — after dark, the night watchman takes over. The leaderboard names the truest Rothenburger.

We spread our tour out over a few days, so it truly is go-at-your-own-pace. We were pleasantly distracted by a concert in the Marktplatz, meeting new friends, etc., but easily started the hunt again when back on track. It allowed us to leisurely make our way around this sweet little town and learn new facts. It was fun!
It was a great experience to keep our boys engaged. It took us several places around Rothenburg. Thanks!
Great tour to dig into the history of Rothenburg, entertaining tour with a good mix of individual tasks and team tasks. The determination of points based on time was also very successful in order to encourage every team member. All in all, highly recommended.
Saw places and stopped to enjoy spots in the town that we never would seen on our own. Good family fun 👍
We enjoyed the information on each stop of the scavenger hunt. It was a great way to see and get to know the city. I don't think the estimated time of completion is accurate as it took us 3 full hours and we did not even get to finish. I would suggest allowing for more time when doing the hunt.
The experience was amazing, a ton of fun with friends, and we did get to learn a lot of trivia just by playing and getting to take in the sights of the city. For a self-guided experience you end up feeling pretty well directed on where to go and what to do. Definitely playing again.
Awesome Scavenger Hunt !!! Was such a great way to get to know the city in a fun and interactive way... loved it !
The experience started well, but at a certain point, mobile coverage was lost for all phones (even having 4G and even 5G on some devices) and no matter how much we restarted, went out, came in, turned off, ... there was no way to resume the search because it could not reconnect ... bad ending for something that was being fun and entertaining. We were very disappointed... honestly, I cannot recommend it to anyone.
An entertaining way to get to know the city on your own with many details that we would have otherwise overlooked. It was really fun.
We did the scavenger hunt this week right near us. Despite the intense heat, we had an incredible amount of fun rediscovering Rothenburg in this playful way. An absolutely successful city tour that we can warmly recommend to everyone!
Ich lernte viel über Rothenburg und in der Gruppe machte es noch mehr Freude. Ebenfalls super fand ich die App. Sie ist leicht zu bedienen.
Kurzweilige selbstgeführte Tour durch Rothenburg. Die Stadt hat uns sehr überrascht, hat uns die App doch einige versteckte Orte gezeigt welche wir sonst nicht besucht hätten. Sehr empfehlenswert und für den Preis tiptop.
Rothenburg surpreendeu-me bastante! Que cidade incrível! A atividade correspondeu às expectativas e foi tranquilo passear calmamente e responder às perguntas. Giro
Vydali jsme se sem na doporučení přátel. Hezké místo, obklopené dochovaným středověkými hradbami, v plné výšce a vybaveným řadou věží a možností obejít město po podsebití. Brány města impozantní, dochované středověká architektura několika kostelů velmi zajímavá - město bylo ušetřil zásadních přestaveb a proto se toho dochovalo opravdu hodně. prošli jsme, co se dalo - od kaple štaufského hradu na ostrohu nad údolní nivou až po komplikované opevnění bran na druhém konci města. Zklamání však místní delikatesa - schneekugel. Chutná jako ztvrdlé zmuchlané široké nudle obalené v něčem (cukr, čokoláda …). Vyhozené peníze. Mrzely i zamčené kostely.
Spannende, kurzweilige Stadtführung! Man sucht Orte, löst da Rätsel und Wissensfragen und braucht für all das nur sein Handy. Hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Danke!
