There were some weird questions, some were really hard and I always had to use help because they made no sense at all. Would recommend some update... At least the walking part was nice

Pretty Good

Joe_S, Apr 2024
Pretty fun way to explore London. Generally easy to understand for the puzzles but sometimes need to put a lot of thought into them. Would recommend.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thanks for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that you found Questo to be a fun way to explore London. It's great to know that while some puzzles required extra thought, overall, they were understandable. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to see you on more Questo adventures in the future!

Disappointing

Jonathan_B, Nov 2023
Generally good, but needs cleaning up: (1) first clue of boy holding flute on statue on building by All Souls Church is covered in tarp, (2) game answer of clue with rams above door says four rams, but there are 10 rams across the three sides of that entryway, and (3) game is missing directions from Sherlock Mews to the Sherlock statue — had to guess it would be near Baker Street

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Sorry to read about this. Please be informed that the game creator got your suggestions and already fixed the game. We'd love to make up for the poor experience. Please contact us at explore@questoapp.com and we'll offer you a free game.

Leuke extra

Siggy_L, Feb 2024
Leuke wandeling met fijne wist je datjes tijdens het spel. De opgaves zijn redelijk makkelijk maar het houdt het wel luchtig en vlot.

Response from Host, Feb 2024
