DO IT

Rebecca_A, Jul 2023

This was my favorite thing we did in Quebec City. I love architecture and sight-seeing, my husband loves history, and we both love solving riddles and puzzles. This was the PERFECT was for us to see the city and this game took us to locations we might not have seen otherwise!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Your review has us jumping for joy! We're thrilled to hear that our quest in Quebec City topped your list of favorite activities. It's fantastic that the game perfectly aligned with your interests, blending architecture, sight-seeing, history, and puzzle-solving into a delightful experience. Not only did it allow you to explore the city, but it also took you to off-the-beaten-path locations. Thank you for your support, and get ready for more thrilling adventures with us in the future! Happy questing!

Frustrating Inaccuracies but Fun Exploration

Leah_H, Sep 2022

This game needs some updates and some fixes - a couple clues are outdated due to construction or other changes in the city (outdated by over a year), and some are just so poorly worded that they're actually wrong. If you're competitive (which my husband and I are) this can be kind of frustrating. However, I'd still recommend the game to others since it got us to explore new areas of the city.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Thank you for playing with Questo in Quebec and sharing your feedback. Our development team is working continuously giving you the best experience. Hope to see you explore more games with us.

Worth the Price

Stacie_B, Jul 2021

We had fun doing game while exploring Quebec City. We found it a bit challenging as well and needed hints a few times and learnt a few things we would not have known without game.

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Thank you Stacie! We're happy you had fun, and hope to see you play again soon!

N'a jamais fonctionné. Inutile, donc trop cher. En passant par la maison du tourisme à Québec, il y a le même service pour 5$ et qui fonctionne
