★★★★
Good activity for the afternoon, one of the clues, a mural, didn't exist any more. A nice way to see the City.
★★★★
this was really fun but one puzzle about the bird mural really frustrated us. first, we were quite far away from the bird mural in reference, even though we were standing where the map took us before the puzzle. but most frustrating was, we were familiar with the mural anyway and knew it was a silver eye. unfortunately "silver eye" with a space wasn't accepted as a correct answer which lead us to continue guessing in confusion for 10 minutes. please allow "silvereye" and "silver eye" to be accepted. the mural itself literally has a space in the birds name but only works as one word in your game.
★★★★★
it was a good tour around bergen. I would maybe have taken people round the old part of town though. Only other comment would be to try to link it a bit more with the history of the locations you visit.
