Das Spiel hat uns in verschiedene Bezirke rund um die Akropolis geführt. Die Rätsel waren gut und lösbar-gibt auch Tips. Was uns besonders gefallen hat waren die Infos zu den Rätseln - so macht Geschichte Spaß. Die Schnitzeljagd ist auch für Familien sehr gut geeignet ❤️👍

Die Schnitzeljagd hat Spaß gemacht. Die meisten Rätsel waren lösbar. Es wäre sinnvoll eine Streckenlänge anzugeben, damit man in etwa weiß, wie lange man einplanen muss. Wir haben ca. 3h gebraucht. Für kleine Kinder ist die Schnitzeljagd nicht empfehlenswert, erst ab 12 Jahren.
