You need a smartphone with internet connection to access the GPS-based game. There is no live guide; you navigate independently. Book your start date when purchasing tickets, but you can begin playing anytime on that date.

Can I do this tour alone, or do I need a group?

This is designed for solo players or groups of up to 4 people per ticket. Solo adventurers are welcome; larger groups need to purchase additional tickets.

How long does the tour take and how far do I walk?

The game is designed for 2 hours, though your actual completion time may vary depending on puzzle difficulty and photo quality. You'll explore Gothenburg's historic center via multiple bridges and winding streets, covering several kilometres.

What is the difficulty level, and is it suitable for kids?

The game is rated intermediate difficulty. It blends riddle-solving with exploration; ideal for curious players aged 10 and up, though no official age restriction is enforced.

What happens if I get stuck on a puzzle or my GPS signal drops?

The supplier description does not specify hint systems or customer support availability. It is recommended to test GPS connectivity before starting and ensure your smartphone is fully charged. Starting early in the day in well-mapped areas of the historic center minimizes signal issues.

Can I pause the game and continue later?
