Useless

Victoria_R, Jun 2025
I was completely unable to access this tour despite having downloaded the app. I am not proficient at using a mobile but my husband is and tried on my behalf with no success.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hi Victoria, for situations like, we have the customer support available 24/7. Sorry you couldn't play, but leaving a rating without experiencing our activity is not ideal. If you want to try playing in the future, please reach out.

An interesting and enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.

Garth_B, Jan 2025
Allow plenty of time if you think you might want to investigate any of the places of interest. We're going back to the Cathedral snd Strangers Hall another day. The history information and story on the app is interesting and really adds to the walk. The instructions are easy to follow though we did lose signal around the cathedral so downloading the instructions would have been a good idea.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Glad you had a great time and found the history interesting! Thanks for sharing your tips—downloading the instructions beforehand is definitely a good idea. Enjoy your next visit to the Cathedral and Strangers’ Hall!

Disappointed

Priya_I, Sep 2024
Unfortunately we were unable to access the app and few places were up for refurbishment and couldn’t go in. So just went around trying to visit some of the sites that were open and accessible

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Sorry to hear about your experience. While site access can sometimes vary due to refurbishments, we’d like to help resolve any app-related issues you encountered. Feel free to reach out to us via chat or at care@questoapp.com for assistance and support!

Fun but Glitchy

Emily_A, Jul 2024
A good way to see historic locations that are not destinations. Glitchy with maps and I had trouble finding some plaques that would have provided answers to the hunt questions. The castle stop requires you to enter the pay area, but I was going to do that anyway. It was a fun thing to do but it could use some improvements.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed discovering historic locations through our game. We’re sorry to learn about the issues with the maps and finding some plaques. Please note that our games are designed to be experienced outdoors, so internal access to buildings and establishments is not required. We appreciate your input and will use it to make improvements. If you have any additional suggestions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. We look forward to enhancing your experience in the future!

Still a good way to visit Norwich

Alan_S, Jul 2024
It was fun but often stopped. Also I did all the tasks but only showed 10 of 13 which is completely wrong
