I really liked the ideas and the questions. The only thing that bothered us was that you couldn't try to enter the correct answer several times and then jump straight to the next question. I participated with a group of students. So I don't think it's good that you are directed to the Hotel Sacher and asked to take a break. A break in the Sacher is too expensive for students.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to solve the whole puzzle. Beautiful interesting places and views. But there is no longer a puzzle point "Valerio". I think it would be great if you updated it. Otherwise very nice.

The puzzles were a bit drawn out and also a bit difficult to understand. (We didn't find an eagle. ) However, we got to places in Salzburg that we would never have seen otherwise. All in all it was nice and varied.

You come to corners that you would otherwise not discover. We did it to kick off a Salzburg weekend. It's a great small-group activity.
