★★★★★
very fun !! one of othe graffitis from the earlier challenges is no longer there, and the answer to another (llave sol) is gramatically incorrect, but just simple updates to that would make the game perfect.
★★★★★
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.
★★★★★
This was fun and a unique experience! Being gamers, it’s refreshing to do mystery solving games outdoors. Also made us explore and appreciate our downtown better. October is def a great time to do this!

Who's playing tonight?
One pass unlocks the whole group’s phones: the Duo covers 2, the Fellowship 5. From $8.60 per person, with no booking and no set time.
Two phones, two versions of the truth. Argue about the prime suspect over drinks afterwards.
A team of detectives, one accusation, live rankings. Cheaper than the escape room you couldn’t get a slot for, and the kids usually crack the puzzles faster than the adults.
