Amazing experience! We discovered many places in Athens and the stories behind them. The puzzles are fun and challenging, just as much as we wanted. Our host was a great storyteller and we were truly immersed in the story before starting our autonomous experience. It is a day that will stay in our memories! Absolutely recommended to explore Athens in a unique way.

What an incredible way to explore a city. I would say this is perfect for small groups or families. Getting exercise & fresh air, learning history, practice teamwork… all while lots of fun for both me and my son. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you’re up for something non-traditional, and up for a bit of a challenge!

Maelle was our game master and put us right in the game. From the concept, the content to the places the games took us to, we all absolutely loved it. If you don't want a guided tour, but want to learn about Athens through the centuries with a treasure hunt/escape game twist, this is what you need! Maelle was one message away when we needed clues and offered amazing local tips at the end.
