An interesting way of seeing Nottingham. Ten clues would have been enough. My kids liked it despite having to learn stuff!
Response from Host, Apr 2026

We were a group of 7 family members. This app was great. Just the right amount of information at each stop, the right amount of challenge and fun. We had a great time.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
So glad your family group of 7 had a great time exploring Nottingham! It's wonderful to hear we struck the right balance between challenge and fun for everyone. Hope you'll all join us for another quest soon!

The challenges and facts about each spot were fun. The story narration was slightly cheesy and we skipped over it halfway through. Deducted a star for th very cumbersome booking process. Jus download the Questo app and buy it directly there instead of messing with getting codes through Viator.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for your honest feedback on our Nottingham adventure
Hello, and thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that despite the startup hurdles, you found the challenges and history facts fun!
We really appreciate your feedback regarding the booking process. We know that redeeming codes from third-party platforms can sometimes add an extra step compared to using the app directly, and we apologize for the inconvenience you faced getting started.
regarding the story—we aim for a theatrical Robin Hood vibe, but we completely understand that the style isn't for everyone. We are glad you could still enjoy the route and the riddles. Thank you for playing!

A good activity if you have kids. Too much text though. The experience needs audio. You spend too much time reading and not enough time looking at the landmarks.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the experience with your family. Thank you for your feedback. We are thinking about how to add audio, but don't prioritize it as we don't believe that exploring the world with headphones is ideal. Rather we focus on building the best routes, writing the best stories and creating the most fun games.

This is not a self guided tour as advertised. It is a game. I was refused a refund even though the only way I discovered this was not a self guided tour was by paying for it based on a false description. They should clearly describe this as for what it is. It may appeal to some but to those looking for a tour to follow if the city, it is entirely misleading and a waste of money. Very upsetting how it was handled by the company and that Viator did not take any responsibility for a correct description.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
We understand how frustrating it must have been to expect a traditional self-guided tour and find something different. Our experiences are interactive games designed to explore the city in a unique way, and we aim to describe them as clearly as possible. We appreciate your feedback and will review the listing to ensure expectations are set correctly. If you'd like to share more details, feel free to reach out to us at care@questoapp.com.

a bit tricky to access, having paid, but the experience was great fun and made us see parts of the city we may otherwise have missed, all while finding out about the legend of Robin Hood. We all really enjoyed it.
