Playing in SighișoaraWhat teachers and students say
More than 3,000 classes and groups have played Questo together.
We are a group of language students and we played the game with our teacher: a great and fun way to practise, and learn interesting stuff about our city that we didn't know.
Perfect with a group of A Level pupils. Loved it.
We had a great day on Monday, thanks in large part to Questo. Thank you so much for everything, from the clear communication beforehand to a very smooth user experience on the day itself.

Every quest shows the youngest class it suits: Ages 8+, 11+ or 14+. The teacher plays it from home first, free.
- Step 2
Split the class into teams of 3 to 5
One phone per team. Teams start a few minutes apart from the same spot.
- Step 3
Walk, read, solve, regroup
60 to 120 minutes, 2 to 4 km, then compare scores back at the meeting point.

Research
The case for the head of year
One trip changes how pupils think
In a randomised study of 10,912 students, a single cultural trip raised critical thinking, tolerance and interest in culture weeks later.
History learned where it happened
458 Amsterdam pupils walked the medieval city in teams, solving tasks on phones at real locations. They learned more than classmates taught the same topic in lessons.

Games with a story teach
Across hundreds of studies, game-based learning beats non-game teaching on knowledge and retention; story and playing together are what make the difference.

Small teams solve harder problems
Groups of three to five beat their best individual member; structured collaborative learning is rated at about five months of extra progress a year.

Moving does not cost learning
Of 251 measured links between physical activity in the school day and results, 1.5% were negative.

Pupils come back more engaged
In England's largest outdoor-learning project (125 schools), 92% of teachers saw pupils more engaged outside and 85% saw better behaviour.

Teacher FAQ
Questions teachers ask
How much does it cost?
€5 per pupil per quest. Teachers and chaperones are free. A class of 30 on one quest pays €150, by card or by invoice to the school.
What ages are the quests for?
Each quest shows the youngest class it suits: Ages 8+, 11+ or 14+. A quest marked 8+ works for a sixth form too; a quest marked 14+ has a darker story and is kept for older pupils. Quests with adult themes are left out of the school lists. University societies and orientation weeks are welcome as well.
How many phones do we need?
One per team of 3 to 5 pupils, with the Questo app installed and mobile data. A class of 30 needs 6 to 10 phones. A charged power bank per team helps on a two-quest day.
Do we need to book a time?
No. There are no departure times. Each team starts when it reaches the start point, any day and any time that suits the class.
How do teachers supervise the teams?
Teams play on their own phone, so adults stay with or near them. We suggest one adult for every two teams for ages 8 to 11 and one for every three teams from 11 up, with agreed meeting points along the route. For 14 to 18, follow your school's policy for unaccompanied groups.
Can we pay by invoice?
Yes. The quickest way is by card: choose a quest and pay €5 per student, for as many students as you need. To pay by bank transfer, send the number of students, the city and the dates through the form and we send an invoice to the school.
Prefer to pay by bank transfer?
Tell us the quest or city, the class size and the dates. We send an invoice to the school.
