Historically really exciting. I love true crime and history, so the combination of the two is brilliant. And then doing an activity outside, in a different way in teams, is really cool. And then it was fun!

JanniThe Murder of the Mermaid

A great trip around the old part of town. Love that we could play in English, be challenged and at the same time experience real local secrets of Nyboder.

KennethThe secrets of Nyboder

The boyfriend and I love to play on our date nights. Urban Hunt was good entertainment and nice challenging even though we are quite experienced in playing this kind of games.

Mette og MartinThe Murder of the Mermaid

Very funny. We played with a couple of friends. It was great that we could compete against each other, with our team playing the Danish version and the others the English version.
