It was a very good way of taking you around many of the landmarks in Venice. It was a bit of a shame that one or two of the clues were difficult because of scaffolding covering the parts you need to see! If you’re in a group doing it together just pay for one - we didn’t all need to have it downloaded as we were a team. Good fun though!

Fiz este jogo no 2o dia em Veneza com o meu filho de 11 anos. Este tipo de jogos são extremamente aliciantes para crianças e permite ficar com uma noção de percursos e atrações mais importantes no exterior. Se durante o percurso pretendermos entrar e visitar atrações, temos mesmo que contar com o dobro do tempo, mas é mais interessante. Vale a pena, não sendo visita guiada, é um percurso definido e que ajuda a passear com um propósito. Para crianças acima dos 10 é um passeio ideal.

Un modo simpatico per scoprire i punti salienti della città, ho fatto questo gioco con mia figlia di 11 anni, lo ha trovato divertente ma più che una caccia al tesoro possiamo definirlo un quiz, c'erano più che altro puzzle e giochi come trova le differenze, comunque adeguato al prezzo, un'esperienza alternativa!
