About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- timmL4351DH0 contributionsRubbish avoidPoor directions, and when my iPad powered off I was not able to log in using my phone. Wasted an afternoon. Could get a refund either.Written March 4, 2023
- platinumpea0 contributionsA great way to discover somewhere new!This was a great way to get to know Cambridge. The story was fun, the clues weren't too easy or too difficult and we stopped and had dinner in-between clues :) Definitely recommended for new places where available!Written August 6, 2021
- 716yvetteg0 contributionsEnjoyable weekendGreat way to see a bit of Cambridge and learn some interesting facts. We couldn't access the game initially and I have to say the Customer Service is 100% , they sorted us out in minutes.Written June 1, 2021
- 544jaynem0 contributionsA fun afternoon.We enjoyed the Cambridge quest with 2 of our friends. We were looking for a social distancing activity that would teach us some facts about Cambridge, the Quest gave it a fun twist.Written February 2, 2021
- teshutchman0 contributionsNo-refundWe have been put into tier 4, alongside Cambridge, and therefore was unable to go. In spite of me asking a refund (although to be perfectly fair this should have been given instinctively due to the current crisis we are in) they have failed to do so. I now keep receiving texts from them asking me to rate my experience, which non of us could have, even if we lived in Cambridge. All other places have refunded our money without prompting! Disappointing.Written December 31, 2020
- tia27090 contributionsLots of informationMy husband and I really enjoyed exploring Cambridge through this walking tour. We could go at our own pace, COVID safely and learned a lot about what we saw. Brilliant way to explore the city.Written October 28, 2020
- Fcaterina220 contributionsAmazing adventure in the Secrets of CambridgeA really great opportunity of discovering the inner secrets of Cambridge, its campuses, and exploring the city while having fun with my family!! You won't just visit the city, you'll get engaged with it and really get to know it. I truly recommend Cambridge Quest to anyone willing to have fun and more than a simple trip!!Written December 17, 2019
- reb11260 contributionsCambridge QuestWe took on the Cambridge quest with two teenage boys. Tough crowd! But they ended up loving it and even learning something about the history of Cambridge. We rode our bikes to keep the boys moving. All the clues were challenging. Would recommend for families or visitors:)Written November 12, 2019
- Julija H0 contributionsgreat idea, but the execution could be betterWhile I think it is a great idea and the background information and the plot were really intriguing there were some hiccups I had problems with. I only received a code after contacting the creators, so make sure you place your order early enough and don't be afraid to send them an extra message, if your code doesn't arrive in under 24 hours. Some of the riddles and instructions were a bit vague, probably centered towards people who are somewhat familiar with the town centre.Written November 10, 2019
- FridaR960 contributionsQuesto didnt work and they didnt want to pick up the phoneDon’t book Questo. I showed up and had planned a big evening with 6 friends. When we stood there to start the game the app didn’t work. I tried to call them and the guy refused to pick and rather wrote me he wants to write with me instead. Very unprofessional. Then he said because they had a Different event that night it wouldn’t work for us to play. Such unprofessional and bad company. Don’t support thisWritten October 26, 2019
- swakk0 contributionsA fun way to see some of the landmarks in CambridgeThis is a really fun way to explore some of the landmarks in the city. The authors have put some effort into providing excellent background information on some historic aspects of the people or events covered in the questions for the quest. It is just a pity that those texts are only accessible at the relevant point in the quest and cannot be accessed once the next task is approached. We undertook this quest with a German exchange student, who would have loved to read all those little factoids at a later stage. As far as we experienced it, every aspect of the quest was wheelchair accessible.Written October 3, 2019
- Marco F0 contributionsFun and interestingI had a very good time doing the quest together with a few friends. The riddles are fun but not overly challenging, and that gives you the chance to enjoy the stories and the unique scenery of Cambridge. RecommendedWritten June 11, 2019

Questo App City Exploration Game is a fun and interactive game that allows you to explore new places in a unique and exciting way. As you play the game, you will feel like you are in an action-packed movie, navigating your way through different challenges and discovering interesting facts about the places you visit.
One of the great things about this app is that it is very interactive. You get to visit different locations and interact with the environment in a way that feels natural and engaging. In addition, you will learn a lot about each location as you explore, which is great for anyone who loves to learn about new places.
Another key feature of the Questo App City Exploration Game is the challenges that you need to pass in order to progress through the game. Each challenge is a new place to visit, and you gain points if you successfully complete the challenge. To pass the challenges, you need to answer questions correctly, which is a great way to test your knowledge and keep the game engaging.
While there are some minor drawbacks to the app, such as the fact that some of the questions are free-text based and can be difficult to answer, overall this is a great app for anyone who loves adventure and learning. With a few minor improvements, such as the addition of pictures to the question pages, the Questo App City Exploration Game could become even more engaging and immersive.
Pros:
The app is very interactive and allows you to feel like you are exploring new places in a fun and engaging way.
You will learn a lot about each location as you explore, which is great for anyone who loves to learn about new places.
The challenges are a great way to keep the game engaging, and you gain points for successfully completing them.
Each challenge is a new place to visit, which adds to the sense of adventure and exploration.
Cons:
Some of the questions are free-text based and can be difficult to answer, which can be frustrating for some players.
The addition of other entry options, such as dropdown or multichoice, could make the questions easier to answer.
Pictures that define the game scenario could be added to the question pages to increase the interactivity and make the game more immersive.
It would be great if users could include their own photos for each location as private memories.

Great fun and an interesting and interactive way to enjoy the city. It was helped by good weather on the day we visited but nevertheless, we feel it would have been manageable otherwise.
