Longer than we expected but definitely worth it:)

The game is very interesting and we really enjoyed the experience and competition:) The only thing: it took 2.5 hours even with using a few hints, and it wasn't 3 km. It wasn't a problem but take this to the account.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Hello Yulia! It is so amazing that you enjoyed the game in Budapest. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We hope we can see you again play more games with us.
