    Super nice escape. We had the challenging variant! Luckily you could ask for a hint😬 We took it easy and sometimes ended up on a terrace. This was for us the 4x Ghent but with the escape parts of Ghent seen that we had never seen.

    Was a very fun game to do. You see a lot of the city but you are also doing wonderful things. Have a snack and a drink along the way and guaranteed a day of fun.

    We were 3 adults and 5 young people between 11 and 18 years. There is something educational behind it but we often found the puzzles too complicated. For example, if you have bits of photos on your smartphone and they need to be found in the area, you should start sharing the screen, because everyone should be able to view those photos multiple times. And the search range (the number of buildings you have to look at) is sometimes far too large. It is a back-and-forth for that smartphone and then some participants quickly drop out. In the end it took us twice as long as the 2 hours set out. There should have been more variation in difficulty, it could also be a bit more adventurous. Alternate thinking and doing assignments. For such a search I find paper versions a lot more convenient.

    Very fun activity for team building, the advantage is that you can also talk to each other during this outside escape. You will visit places in Ghent where you would normally not end up. Nicely done, thanks!

    Nice way to discover the city. You will look at your surroundings in a different way and come to places that you might otherwise have passed by. We were with our children (16,18,21), our eldest had taken the initiative and everyone had fun. We had chosen the difficult variant, we found some assignments a bit too time-consuming and with one we really couldn't figure out what the intention was, but that didn't spoil the fun. Worth repeating in another city!
