Three of the quests were...

Laura_D, Apr 2025
Three of the quests were impossible to solve, 2 of them because the plaques weren't there anymore and the other one because the shop was closed. The idea is very nice but the enigmas weren't really challenging, we got bored fast.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience — and we're really sorry to hear about the issues you faced. Sometimes, real-world locations do change unexpectedly (like missing plaques or closed shops), and we do our best to update quests as soon as we’re aware of these changes. Your feedback helps us spot and fix these faster — so thank you. As for the challenge level, our quests vary widely in style and difficulty. Some are light and fun, while others are more complex — we’d love to recommend a more challenging one if that’s what you’re looking for. We really hope you’ll give Questo another shot — and feel free to reach out so we can guide you to a better fit.

The question were hard...

The question were hard and we got lost. Couldn’t find a plaque. We didn’t finish the quest. Great idea. Some interesting places.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thanks for your feedback! 😊🏙️ Sorry to hear some questions were too tough and that you got lost. We always aim for a balance of challenge and fun, so we’ll take this into account. Glad you still found some interesting places! 🚀🧩 Hope you’ll give another quest a try!
