Brought Genevan statues to life

Lalage_S, May 2024
This gave a real purpose to walking round geneva and we learned some interesting facts and historical stories. Much better than dry information read online. Loved it!

Response from Host, May 2024

We're thrilled you enjoyed exploring Geneva with our game! It's great to hear that it made your walk more engaging and informative. Thank you for your kind words!

location tracking was too sensitive - good idea but need to be able to bypass inaccurate mapping

Tracy_S, Mar 2024
So we bailed part way through and didn't finish. It was interesting to get to the first few sites and read the history we wouldn't get otherwise, but it wouldn't advance if it didn't detect you were at the next location. GPS was bouncing around and we got hung up. I also didn't like that it didn't tell you the next location (where Google maps might have helped) since it was trying to be mysterious. Just too glitchy in the end.
