It's a great way to explore Athens with friends, family, or even colleagues.

    We solved the puzzle and found the books!

    Omg! This was a fun experience that was interesting and had us all over Athens noticing all kinds of details we had t paid attention to before. So much fun and a great level of difficulty. It does take closer to 3+ hours though!

    Thank you so much for the review! We are glad to hear you had a fun experience! 😍 I love that it had you noticing details around Athens that you’d normally overlook. That is what we aim for! Hopefully you have the chance to play some of our other games in our other cities!

    Nicely done, my teenagers...

    Nicely done, my teenagers (13 & 15 years) had fun solving the tasks and navigating through Athens. For younger kids this might be hard one to solve. You get a map, a backpack with the items you need to solve the tasks and a QR code link to a chat to provide your answers. Took us around 2.5-3h to solve together. Very friendly & fun experience.

    Hi there, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re really happy to hear that you and your teenagers enjoyed solving the puzzles and exploring Athens together - it sounds like you made a great team 😊 You’re absolutely right that some of the challenges can be a bit tricky for younger players, which is why we usually recommend a bit of teamwork (and a few hints if needed!) to keep things fun for everyone. Thanks again for playing with us, and we hope to see you again in another city! Best wishes, Management

    Fun Family Day in Athens!

    Great experience! Perfect way to walk around the city and see the sights that the kids really enjoyed. Ages 4 & 11 was perfect for navigating and figuring out clues, etc. It advertises about 2hrs but it took us 5hrs. But we stopped multiple times to take breaks, eat lunch and take photos of course! Take lots of water and take your time. Very fun!
