Over Durham
We (three friends) have previously done the York tour which we thought was great fun. Unfortunately the Durham tour did not match up - probably because it is a relatively new tour and hasn’t had all the glitches ironed out. We were quite frustrated at times! Having said that, Durham is a beautiful place and the sun was shining
Over Montevideo
Over Cambridge
We had a great time , it would be nice to see the correct answers to explain where we went wrong
Over Leeds
Over Bergen
Over Madeira
Sadly the Funchal escape had too many glitches and the final location is currently fenced off.
Over Londen
We liked the story and the concept but overall we didn't enjoy it. The context is that we were 4 people with our own time constraint (restaurant booked for 2 hours after the start) and it was a very cold day. We didn't do very well which was partly down to us partly due to the game. We do a lot of these type of games and we normally do fairly well at them. A few specific comments. I had expected that we could log in and use 2 phones but we could only log in to 1 which was quite limiting. I'm not sure if this is normal or an error on our part. The technology let us down on several occasions. It seemed to skip over a question/ location a few times. Sometimes we were told if we got it right or wrong with an explanation, sometimes we just got an "OK" message and moved on to the next question without knowing if we got it right or wrong. The straight "wrong answer" format seemed very harsh. It would have been nice to get a 'Try again' option, eg. a few lives to use up before we failed questions immediately or a time penalty for a second try. A straight 'wrong - next question' felt demoralising. I'd prefer the option of having a second chance. A lot of games offer this. I didn't personally like the 'divide one answer by another and multiple by a third one' format. I like maths quizzes but I don't see any value in adding maths to an escape game, especially if your standing in the cold working something out when you have all the individual answers correctly. Why not just type in the individual answers? Similarly why request a coded answer eg. E3 or C1 when we could just type in eg. 'Gandhi'? I don't see the point personally and it doesn't add anything to the experience. You can build in multiple spellings. A couple of the questions seemed to be badly designed eg. the spot the difference one, although it was cleverly done. If I had got all 4 I would have spent ages having to recheck the picture in detail to make sure there weren't 5 which seems unnecessary. We got the Trafalgar square question wrong. You had 6 mermaids but there were only two. There were also two 'mermen' and two children who could have been boy or girl but they were not mermaids. A mermaid is ver specifically a female character. I was strangely annoyed about this, especailly as we'd worked the rest out correctly, even the numerical value of the National Gallery. On that point I don't see why we had to combine answers into a single answer. I meant that if we got 1 out of 4 things wrong we got the whole question wrong which is not a good experience. The silver plaque on the Embankment had been removed or covered up. I'm convinced it wasn't there. There were a few other points but I'll leave it there. I hope these are useful. I do like the phone/location based concept and building a story around it. I think we struggled because we had only one phone, it was cold and we didn't have long to get round. Having said that, we made some basic mistakes which were entirely our fault. It may well have been different in the summer. Good luck with your future games. It's good to have people producing them. They a normally great fun. Thanks, Jeff
Over Cannes
The escape visit for Cannes is thoroughly entertaining and we covered a lot of the area in front of the port and in the old town. It caused us to look at things more closely. We wished we’d taken a pen and paper to help with some of the maths though! We did ours on Jan 1 2025 when a couple of items needed updating at the start of play.
Over Canterbury
ok, so we are not great with technology but found it pretty easy to set up on the phone. We all liked the satnav to place, sort out clues then move on. We got one wrong because we were stupid, got the next one wrong because something had changed locally but cannot see where we are meant to notifiy the people running it. Overall it was a very good experience and one we will repeat at other locations
Over Den Haag
The idea is really nice and gets you to do a walk you woudn´t do other way, but the clues are difficult to catch and not really clear described. The plot of the background story is good but not much interesting things learned. Too expensive for what it really is.
Over Londen
Great activity for both smaller and larger groups, prompts team working. Good for work team building or having fun in private groups. Entertaining stroll in central London's streets - you'll see a lot of city's landmarks. Assignments are at good level of difficulty (not easy but you can figure out); few tasks are described a bit too vague hence it's more of a guessing rather than figuring out a task. You need a day time and a good weather! Such fun!
Over Berlijn
Tranlation was bad. Answers were wrong. Many of them didnt make sense.
Over Hasselt (België)
Het is best even zoeken op de locaties, waardoor er halverwege wel behoefte is aan een pauze. Je zou dan de tijd even stil moeten kunnen zetten. De opdrachten zijn leuk. Maar ook best moeilijk.
Over Amsterdam
I was generally really disappointed, the story was not good and had no relation to the places where we we're. The assignments where extremely basic and not challenging and no historic facts we're included. Price quality ratio was very low. I regret having payed and we didn't finish the game. Would absolutely not recommend
Over Leicester
The tour could be really enjoyable and has a good range of questions. Some of the questions could have been correct for us if the question was asked correctly because we knew the answer but answered the question asked. Some of Leicester had works in progress so inscriptions and facades needed to solve the quiz couldn't be accessed due to being fenced off which made it frustrating and seemed unfair
Over Oxford
The Oxford city escape got a little tedious towards the middle to end. The clues / tasks were somewhat misaligned with the reality of what was in front of us. The app drained my phone battery to the point that my phone died whilst playing the game, I was so disappointed! So, it is wise for more than one person to download the app just in case. This escape game is not for anyone who may need reasonable adjustments, who has poor stamina, who cannot walk or for long etc.
Over Groningen
We did this as a large group. It was fun, but there were several tasks that did not rely on solving a clue, but rather just knowing an answer to a random question (that only a Dutch person would know). There was also one task that was out-dated and could not be solved. Overall, I like the concept, but I think it needs some work.
Over Athene
Over Londen
The map feature works well and there are some imaginative questions, although these are sometimes repeated e.g. spot the difference and not all answers were satisfactory. We worked and walked quickly with no breaks but could not complete this in 2 hours.
Over Edinburgh
Over Brugge
I really enjoyed it, but was disappointed to not escape. I was pretty confident I went to the right place, I just couldn't get the app to load it. Overall good, I think it could do with slightly more help options
Over Stockholm
Over Mechelen
I don’t recommend if you are not Belgian. The English version is not well translated and it is never clear if you are supposed to answer in English or Dutch (we got some answers wrong because of this). Also the app malfunctioned and didn’t stop the clock when we finished. Overall we were quite disappointed and will not purchase again.
Over Palma de Mallorca
There is no better way to discover cities with children.
Over Newcastle
This was the worst ‘escape’ task I’ve ever done. I do not recommend this experience. Ensure that you speak the language of the experience (our city was in England but the experience language was Dutch, which we couldn’t change). Please ensure that you have an additional power pack for you phone as the constant tracking kills the battery. If I could give a negative score I would…
Over Manchester
Excellent and informative way to spend a couple (well three in our case!) of hours solving the mystery around the streets and sights of Manchester. Don't worry if you get some clues wrong as you get a nother chance at the end to get any missing letters. Enjoy!
Over Alkmaar
Echt naar ons zin gehad! Echt een aanrader om een nieuwe stad op een leuke manier te leren kennen.
