Great Intro to Portland

Meghan_W, Jan 2025

We wanted to know more about Portland and enjoy the various sites - it was great fun! It was a good hike around the city, we were able to sidetrack to shops and meet people. Absolutely worth it.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.

Was a good idea at first...

Maria_F, Aug 2024

Was a good idea at first but unfortunately couldn’t continue the tour as we felt a little unsafe in some of the areas.

It was overall fun...

Paul_E, Oct 2023

It was overall fun experience. However, we noticed that points given to correct answered differed. We wondered why that was. Also, I thought the price charged for this was a little high based on the minimum overhead involved.

Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!

Nice walk

I went on a business trip to Portland, and sometimes I get a bit bored in the weekend. So I thought I go for a city tour. it was a great experience with the app, simple but very smart. Thank you for breaking my boredom!

Mirella_B, May 2023

The city tour app with a scavenger hunt was a brilliant idea! It kept our family entertained and allowed us to discover the city in a whole new way. Top-notch experience!

Emfehlenswert

Lisa_S, May 2023

Tolle Tour! Die App ist einfach zu bedienen, auch wenn man kein "Handy-Spezialist" ist. Wir hatten grossen Spass beim Lösen der Aufgaben und haben viel über die Stadt erfahren. Ich kannte Explorial schon von Europa und auch hier war es wieder eine gute Erfahrung, ich kann es nur empfehlen.
