1 von 5 Sternen – Dreister Baukasten-Betrug & Fake-Bewertungen! Fällt nicht auf die aufgesetzten 5-Sterne-Bewertungen herein! Wir haben die „Schatzsuche am Tegernsee“ (ab 8 Jahren) mit 10 Personen (Teenager, Handwerker, Ingenieure) getestet. Es ist eine absolute Mogelpackung. Die Fakten, die der Anbieter verschweigt: • Massenware statt Stadterlebnis: Das Spiel hat absolut null Ortsbezug. Wie andere aktuelle Bewertungen zeigen, nutzt die Firma ein dreistes Baukasten-System: Die Rätsel (über Mayas, Ägypter und Latein) sind in allen Städten (egal ob Tegernsee, Böblingen oder Herrenberg) zu 100 % identisch! Es werden nur lieblos die GPS-Punkte ausgetauscht. Das kann man auch im eigenen Garten spielen. • Support lügt bei Mängelrüge: Als wir uns beschwerten, hieß es vom Support, wir hätten für Ortsbezug die „Schnitzeljagd“ buchen müssen. Der Hohn: Am Tegernsee gibt es überhaupt keine Schnitzeljagd von diesem Anbieter! • Technischer Zwang zum Mehrfachkauf: Die App blockiert vor Ort und zwingt einen durch Systemfehler zum Kauf weiterer Tickets. Andere Kunden berichten hier aktuell, dass sie sogar 3 Tickets für 2 Personen kaufen mussten und es trotzdem nicht ging! Der KI-Support ist völlig unfähig. • Völlig weltfremd für Kinder: Als Schatzsuche ab 8 Jahren deklariert, startet die erste Frage mit lateinischen Wörtern. Die Jugendlichen und die 12-Jährige waren nach 5 Minuten extrem gelangweilt. • Abstürze im Funkloch: Man wird steile Berge hochgejagt, steht im Funkloch und bei schwerem Unwetter verweist der Support stur darauf, man hätte ja „innerhalb von 48 Stunden“ im Sturm weiterspielen können. Diese Firma lebt von künstlichen Bewertungen und lässt Kritik systematisch löschen. Holt euch euer Geld über die Bank zurück (Chargeback/Lastschriftrückgabe) – wir haben es (Translated by Google) 1 out of 5 stars – Blatant modular scam & fake reviews! Don't fall for the fake 5-star reviews! We tested the "Treasure Hunt at Lake Tegernsee" (ages 8 and up) with 10 people (teenagers, tradespeople, engineers). It's a complete rip-off. The facts the provider is hiding: • Mass-produced instead of a city experience: The game has absolutely no local connection. As other recent reviews show, the company uses a blatant modular system: The puzzles (about the Mayans, Egyptians, and Latin) are 100% identical in all cities (whether Tegernsee, Böblingen, or Herrenberg)! They simply swap out the GPS coordinates. You could play it in your own backyard. • Support lies when we complained: When we complained, support told us we should have booked the "Scavenger Hunt" for a location-based experience. The irony: There's no scavenger hunt from this provider at Lake Tegernsee at all! • Technically forced multiple purchases: The app freezes on-site and, due to system errors, forces you to buy additional tickets. Other customers are currently reporting that they even had to buy three tickets for two people, and it still didn't work! The AI ​​support is completely incompetent. • Completely unsuitable for children: Advertised as a treasure hunt for ages 8 and up, the first question starts with Latin words. The teenagers and the 12-year-old were extremely bored after five minutes. • Crashes in areas with poor reception: You're sent up steep mountains, you're stuck in areas with no signal, and during severe weather, support stubbornly insists that you could have continued playing "within 48 hours" during the storm. This company thrives on artificial reviews and systematically deletes criticism. Get your money back through your bank (chargeback/direct debit reversal) – we did.

Wir haben heute insgesamt ca 4 Stunden in Gangelt über die App ein Krimi Event veranstaltet. Es war wirklich sehr kurzweilig und wir hatten alle eine Menge Spaß (Translated by Google) Today we held a murder mystery event in Gangelt for about four hours using the app. It was really entertaining and we all had a lot of fun.
