Family scavenger hunt

Helen_E, Aug 2025

Great app with clear instructions. We had a range of children and some of the information pages were very long to read. We would have liked the tour to have included Anne franks house.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you so much Helen! 😊 We're glad the app and instructions worked well for the whole family in Amsterdam! We take your feedback about the length of some information pages seriously and are working on making them more concise. That's also a great suggestion about including Anne Frank House — we'll pass it to our route team. We hope to welcome you all on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️

Too easy

Lisa_M, Jul 2025

It was very basic, much easier than we were expecting. Completed within 1 hour. Could do with adding a few more or making it a little more interactive somehow

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for your feedback! Our activity is designed for ''holiday minds'' and does not focus 100% on satisfying puzzle solvers alone, but also to satisfy city explorers who want to explore a new city in a different way :)
