BRILLIANT
I’d give this app 10 stars if I could. Thought we’d possibly last an hour in the gallery but managed 4! Kept 2 tween boys fully entertained and they learnt stuff too. Meant that the older kids and adults could actually relax and enjoy the art rather than dealing with fed up kids. Could not recommend more.
Could be awesome
First time today using the app, it started off really well, my Son loved the interaction with the art and the story line but after a while we go stuck in a room and couldn’t find the painting which we later found out it has moved to a different room and the app wouldn’t allow us to skip the painting and move on and then just kept crashing, so we gave up.
Please update app to paintings in the correct location.
Waste of time
App failed in room 10, right at the beginning of the journey
Great
Fantastic game for kids. Kept them here way longer
Amazing app
I think that the app has an amazing plot line and shows the pantings in different views
Very hard to use
It all worked out well until we moved on to the third task. We were supposed to find a gemstone but it took us half an hour and still have no progress. Please improve it by putting clues or allowing the user to skip some tasks.
So much fun!
