Do I need a tour guide or can I really do this alone?

Completely self-guided. Your smartphone is your guide—the app provides clues, directions, and historical context. No live guide or group required.

What happens if I get stuck on a puzzle?

The app includes hint systems for each puzzle. You can also replay sections offline or skip ahead, though solving puzzles reveals the full story.

Is it truly playable without internet?

Yes. Download the app beforehand and the quest works offline. GPS navigation functions better with internet, but core gameplay doesn't require it.

How long does the full quest actually take?

The 1 hour 15 minutes is a baseline for solving puzzles. Many people take 1.5–2 hours by pausing to read history, photograph landmarks, or explore side streets.

Is this suitable for young children or older adults?

The puzzles are designed for ages 10+. Routes are flat and pedestrian-friendly, so it's accessible for most fitness levels, though the terrain is historic cobblestones in places.

What happens if I miss a puzzle location or want to replay it?

The app structure allows you to revisit puzzles and landmarks at any time during your play window, so you can backtrack or take a different route without penalty.
