A great treasure hunt in Carcassonne - A great treasure hunt around Carcassonne. It was just the right length and not too difficult. The ghost story is combined with historical facts so you learn a lot in a fun way.

Loved finding out Carcassonne - Loved walking around Carcassonne looking for clues and learning history. The story was a bit naff but I really enjoyed the experience.
Had a bit of difficulty downloading the details but on- line chat soon sorted me out. From then it was plain sailing.

Great way to explore Carcassonne with kids - It took us 2 hrs (with some short breaks) to complete the game. Overall, a great experience and the best way to introduce some history to the kids. We ended up visiting places that we would have otherwise missed, including the lower town, mostly neglected by the tourists. Even inside the castle we were led to the various parts of it, e.g. gates, walls, that related to the ancient history of the Carcassonne. Otherwise, I think we'd have ended up just browsing through the shops and restaurants in the middle of the old castle, like most tourists. I could do away with the ghost story though, but would have enjoyed more historic facts and it'd be nice if the clues summed up to a big sentence/ fact/ word at the end.

A must-do in Carcassonne - A discovery of the entire Carcassonne. Keep in mind that there is a steep climb halfway up to the castle section. We really enjoyed this game where we learned a lot about Carcassonne.

Good fun - Quite a fun way to see some of the less obvious parts of the city, both Old and New. I liked how you could pause the game and then lick it up later. I was close to running out of battery on my first day, so picked the game up over 24 hours later very easily.

Hot day in Carcasonne - A reasonable way to walk through Carcassonne. The story is probably aimed more for younger children - our teenagers soon tired of the narrative but it did provide structure.
It took us to the key places and outside of the city.
We would have preferred some more historical insight into the city as a learning walk.
Reasonable value.

Okish - Some of the directions were vague and some just incorrect. As a tour app it was OK and showed some places that we would not have gone to otherwise. The ghost story was irrelevant and, whilst I understand the idea of making an adventure out of the tour, the ghost story was too intrusive.

Very disapointed ! - I ordered this escape game as I have already done in several cities. I couldn't even finish. There were a lot of stairs to climb, so I put my phone in my pocket. Finally arriving at the top, I couldn't resume the game because I had to go back down to where I had closed my phone. No possibility of skipping the step. So I couldn't finish.
