“I like the idea. The implementation is a lot to read, puzzles a bit too easy for you mostly. We already had the solution after 3 locations, but played it to the end and it was confirmed. With children it's great, although it would be nice if you search more at the houses or locations directly something not only solves a mystery in your phone. Otherwise you get through the city quite well, even a few alleys, which you don't usually visit. I thought that was great.Auto-translated”
