“+ Interessante Aufgaben, schönes Spiel. + Tolle Umgebung im Killesberger Höhenpark + Wenn es funktioniert tolle Spielführung über Tablet Verbesserungen, Vorschläge: - Klare und eindeutigere Angaben zum Treffpunkt für den Start, die Adresse Am Killesberg 2 ist sehr weitläufig und es gibt da viele Bänke. Besser Treffpunkt an einem Geschäft, Bäcker oder ähnliches das man besser findet. - Das Display des Tablet ist bei Sonnenschein trotz maximaler Helligkeitseinstellung kaum lesbar. - Vielleicht könnte man die Anzahl der möglichen Antworten auf z.B. 3 begrenzen um damit das Erraten der Lösung, speziell bei den Zahlen, zu verhindern.”
