Fun way to explore the city

Patrycja_B, Jun 2025
The game is a great way to explore the city, visit major landmarks and learn about their history while also solving a fun mystery. Would highly recommend it!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thanks so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed exploring Venice through the mystery and landmarks. Appreciate the recommendation!

Aucune adaptabilité, pas pratique : très décevant

Virginie_B, Mar 2024
Très mal fait. Besoin d’internet pour se localiser et avancer dans l’aventure, ce n’est pas pratique lorsqu’on est étranger… On doit se mettre à quelques mètres de chaque monument pour débloquer les énigmes : impossible lorsqu’il y a du monde ou les Aqua alta !!! Nous avons été définitivement bloqués et avons du abandonner le jeu lorsque nous n’avons pas pu accéder à un des lieux à cause de travaux…. De plus, les questions ne sont pas toujours claires. Pas du tout optimisé ni adaptable à chaque situation donc.

Escape game

Florence_B, Apr 2023
Très bonne idée pour découvrir une partie de Venise. Malheureusement, la traduction est peu exacte et la localisation des lieux est difficile à trouver.

Response from Host, Apr 2023
