1.00We thought the experience was in the Cite, that is, inside the walled city and it is all over Carcassonne. Once we arrived at the Cite, we installed the app and the first challenge was more than 30 minutes walk outside the Cite, we closed the app and visited the Cite on our own. We were with little kids.
Not to do, not at all wanted puzzlesreally simplistic, no need to take a place per person, scam

1.00!!! Do not do!!! Almost a scam, take only one space enough with a phone. So one role really is not necessary.
Many steps in...

Not exactly a treasure hunt

2.00I feel like I was deceived by the merchandise: I didn't see the treasure hunt and I thought it was related to the medieval city. I find it expensive for the little information we had.
Nice tour of Carcasonne

5.00Great tour of the city with lots of information. You could take a lot of time and have a coffee on the way. The puzzles were solved quickly and the navigation worked great. We enjoyed it a lot. We can highly recommend it.
