### 5/5 — Fun low stakes activity

*2026-08-06, version 1.88*

We did these scavenger hunts in three different cities during our Baltic vacation this year! they are a super fun low stakes way to explore a new city and get a feel for things without being restricted to time of a guided in person tour. We are in our 30s and sure, some clues were “easy” but some were genuinely challenging and it was fun to work out the answers together. We are already planning to do the scavenger and “escape room”  version in our home city when we return!

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2026-07-28, version 1.88*

We spent the day doing the Cambridge Scavenger Hunt. It was a really fun and interesting way to explore the city - the app took a second for each audio clip to load but, once it did, it was perfect. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to ramble a city at their own pace but also come away with some knowledge!

### 5/5 — Gamified History Walk

*2026-07-13, version 1.86*

So great! Easy to use- the history of each stop along the way was brief but informative. I used Apple Maps instead of the in app map because I’m used to using it.

### 4/5 — First time tourists in Lübeck

*2026-07-10, version 1.85*

We did the "scavenger hunt" version of Lübeck and it was a good way to keep our teenage son more engaged with seeing the sights of the city. The riddles and questions were fairly shallow, but the text content seemed surprisingly good to me -- based on fact, but told in terms of urban legend so it felt light and interesting

### 5/5 — Guided Exploration

*2026-06-13, version 1.82*

It was great to see the sites of Innsbruck, Austria with a little bit of information. We didn’t know where exactly to go, but the tour highlighted ten key sites. It had trouble loading at times, but that has more to do with cell service in the country than with the functionality of the app.

The puzzles were easy enough to solve and feel proud of ourselves! We will definitely look for World City Trail games in other cities we visit.

### 5/5 — Education

*2026-06-07, version 1.82*

Fun for the family

### 5/5 — Fun way to tour Rhodes

*2026-06-07, version 1.82*

My husband and I used this as a DIY shore excursion in Rhodes and really enjoyed the experience! We learned a lot at our own pace and the game element kept us going when the afternoon heat started to get to us!

### 5/5 — Fun way to explore the city

*2026-05-28, version 1.82*

This was an excellent way to get around a small city like Bologna and see some of the historical sites away from the crowds. App works well!

### 5/5 — Great Tour

*2026-05-12, version 1.80*

This app let us on a great tour of Montreal. The riddles and puzzles were engaging and it allowed us to learn a lot about the city. I recommend!

### 4/5 — Great first experience

*2026-05-04, version 1.78*

Was a great way to get around the city of Split, helped me get my bearings and gave snippets of interesting and historical information! Will try again elsewhere.
