A really fun quest through Nijmegen! Even though I already knew some of the city’s history, I still learned new things about the Romans in Noviomagus. The story made the locations feel more alive and I liked how history and puzzles were combined. The route was easy to follow and took me to places I normally would have walked past without noticing. Definitely recommended if you enjoy history and exploring a city in a different way.

The app did not work properly. The game was no fun, we stopped it after the first spot. It was quiet frustrating.
