Getting your bearings

Victoria_J, Feb 2026

A great way to get your bearings in a new city. Quite simple to follow, although the starting point was slightly wrong but we worked it out.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

I'm so glad the treasure hunt helped you get your bearings in Bucharest! It's great to hear you found the route simple to follow, but I appreciate the heads-up about the starting point being slightly off. We'll definitely double-check those coordinates to make sure they are perfectly accurate for future players. Hope you'll explore another new city with us soon!

The App doesn´t work :-(...

Iris_S, May 2025

The App doesn´t work :-( So we pay the Taxi to get there for nothing. The support was also not helpful. In the end it was waste of time and energy :-(

Response from Host, May 2025

Hello, the app works, you probably didn't read the e-mail with instructions on how to play. Please send us an e-mail at care@questoapp.com and we'll help you play.
