## What is Questo?

Turn your city into a game.

Questo is an outdoor escape game, scavenger hunt, and self-guided walking tour in one app. Over 1 million players. Rated 4.7 stars. Playable in 1,000+ cities worldwide.

Need a date-night idea, a weekend activity with the kids, or a fresh way to see a city you love? Put the phone between you and the streets, and the real world becomes your playground.

TWO WAYS TO PLAY

1. Outdoor escape games (for locals)
Spontaneous adventures in your own city. Like an escape room, but outdoors.
• For couples: "Murder Mystery: Crime on Date Night." Skip dinner and a movie and team up to catch a killer.
• For families: "Kid Quest," made for ages 4 to 8. Walk the park, solve easy riddles, take photos together.
• For friends: race to crack the case before time runs out.

2. Story-driven tours (for travelers)
Don't just look at landmarks. Step into the story behind them. Local writers turn history and legend into walking games.
• New York: "Hamilton." London: "Jack the Ripper." Zurich: "Einstein." Paris: "Lost Lovers in Montmartre."
• And new adventures: "Murder Mystery Zodiac," "The 9 Lives Heist," and "The Lost Gold."

MORE THAN READING, IT'S PLAYING
Questo isn't a text walk. It's interactive.
• Puzzles that use your phone and your senses, like blowing on the screen to clear the dust and reveal the next clue.
• Video woven into the story, so you watch history come alive instead of just reading about it.
• Time Rifts: see how the place you're standing looked centuries ago.
• Every quest reshapes the app to match its world.

PLAY TOGETHER
• Co-op: share one phone and solve as a team.
• Versus: split into teams and race. The leaderboard shows who's fastest.
• Crews: join or start a group, play together, and compete for the top spot.

KEEP THE MEMORIES
• Memories: after you finish, re-read every story and relive the quest.
• Explorer Photos: see real photos from other players, and share your own.

PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE
Quests in multiple languages, many with an audio version so you can listen as you walk.

HOW IT WORKS

Download and browse the map to find a game near you.
Head to the starting point. No schedule, start whenever your group is ready.
Use the statues, buildings, and street art around you to solve riddles and unlock the next part of the story.

WHY QUESTO
• Real connection: put the screens down and be with the people around you.
• Budget friendly: far less than an escape room or a guided tour.
• Flexible: pause for lunch or a coffee anytime.
• Gift it: buy a quest for someone you love.

### 1/5 — AI slop, vibe coded BS

*2026-08-15, version 6.01.04*

see title, don’t waste your time or money. drained my phones battery at a shocking rate.

### 2/5 — Fun, but—

*2026-08-06, version 6.01.03*

This is a great idea, but it more development is needed.  Not enough of the locations you walk to are directly involved in the storyline, and the app was very glitchy when starting the quest.

### 1/5 — Claude, how do I ruin my app?

*2026-07-29, version 6.01.01*

Glad to see Claude was appointed head of design and engineering. 

You took a well designed and unique app that was fun and easy to use and replaced it with stupid AI art and the most complicated and unintuitive experience. 

Management obviously forgot to prompt AI not to lie when they asked if their decision was good.

### 5/5 — München

*2026-07-23*

Sehr interessant. Obwohl ich schon viele Jahre in München lebe, habe ich lauter neue Orte/Themen entdeckt und konnte mein Wissen über die Stadt erweitern. Es handelte sich auch nicht um Standard- Themen/Fragen, sondern sehr gut ausgesuchte, besondere Fragen/ Themen.
Vielen Dank!

### 1/5 — They removed my in-app review

*2026-07-17*

Do not trust the reviews of their quests. I rated their Murder Mystery: Crime on Date Night in Melbourne a 1 star. I gave it an honest review of how I felt my experience was compared to the expectation from the trailer of how quests are completed. The quest felt like I was walking from one location to another without completing many puzzles. That particular quest was very lacklustre. My partner and I even stopped to shop at two different stores because the quest was not engaging or immersive. It was honestly a shame and a wasteful purchase, one I wouldn’t have made if I actually knew what I was in for. The Questo trailer is misleading in my opinion. After leaving my review, I was met with accusation via email, sent from (supposedly) the CEO and Co-founder, Alex Govoreanu, questioning why I left my review and claimed I hadn’t even participated in the quest. However, worst of all, it seems they have removed my 1 star review from that particular quest, yet it still appears on my profile page. Don’t waste your money or your time with this sneaky, lying and misleading company

### 4/5 — Great and suggestions

*2026-06-14, version 5.63.70*

This was so fun! I would suggest a place to take notes as you go through the route as it’s hard to remember the details of the suspects.

### 1/5 — Complete spam

*2026-06-10*

Win stop spamming my email

### 4/5 — Questo app

*2026-05-24, version 5.63.48*

I give it 4 stars because in the very beginning trying to enter in the lock code and finding the quest was not as self-explanatory as it made out to be! But overall fun to use!

### 1/5 — Quest won’t redeem from Fever

*2026-05-19*

Bought a ticket on Fever and the quest never allowed us to redeem the code after trying for 20 minutes. We ended up having to buy it again through the app directly to be able to start. Their customer service is a useless AI that won’t let you speak to a human. No refunds available. Absolutely a scam.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Download.

*2026-03-23, version 5.63.48*

Little to no information how this ‘game’ works and the app won’t download (yet very clear information that refunds absolutely will not be given). Money grab nonsense.
