★★★★★
Das Spiel ist sehr schön gestaltet und die Stationen liegen schön nah zusammen, was das Spiel nicht langweilig macht. Allerdings fehlen noch geschichtliche Erläuterungen zu den Stationen, nach dem Lösen der Rätsel. Daumen hoch.

About the destination

About Athens

Athens layers thousands of years into a single walk, and Questo turns that walk into a game. You follow a story and clues on your phone from the foot of the Acropolis through the old neighbourhoods, solving puzzles at real ancient sites as you go. No guide, no fixed start time. Pick a quest and set off.

The city rewards wandering. Quests pass the so-called Prison of Socrates carved into the rock, the Areopagus hill where ancient Athenians held court, the Propylaea gateway to the Acropolis, and the buzz of Monastiraki and its flea market. Climb a little above the crowds and the whole city opens up below you.

There's a quest for every mood. Some send you chasing a Minotaur code through ancient myth, others hunt for stolen treasures, follow the Parthenon's footsteps, or trace the cats and gods of Athens. Each one mixes real sightseeing with puzzles and story, so you get to know the city by playing in it.

It suits couples, families, groups of friends, and solo explorers. Take it at a Greek pace: grab a souvlaki from O Kostas, a tiny spot grilling since 1950 that often sells out by mid-afternoon, order a frappé, the iced coffee Greeks invented and sip for hours, and climb Areopagus Hill for a free sunset view over the city. Start whenever you're ready.
