Cheap, entertaining and well worth a go! - This ghost-themed outdoor escape game guides the players through different scenic and exciting places in Thorshavn. It takes you to must-see places like Tinganes and the Fortress, but also guides you to the old wooden ships and to an old churchyard overgrown by trees. These scenes go very well with the ghost theme. This is an adventurer's game, though, and playing a game with riddles and clues isn't for everyone. But, if you don't like playing the game, you can always skip the challenges and be entertained by the ghost stories and the game's storyline. I do, however, feel that the game's author has found a great balance which is appealing to a broad audience (and therefore hard-core gamers might be disappointed). I would like to give this game five stars, and I recommend people try playing it, preferably before they have gone on a sight-seeing trip to Thorshavn. Playing at night is preferred for those who dare.

A scary night walk in the heart of Tórshavn - Nights in Tórshavn are quiet, and I went on this quest alone during the night. The Christmas lighting was pleasant, especially in Thinganes, but there was at least one place that I found seriously creepy. I would still recommend playing in the night, though. I loved the main story and the local ghost stories (legends?). The quest was all situated around the town's centre, which was very convenient.

I've played this game two times! - This game is a fun way to get around Tórshavn, and I believe it takes you to all the most spectacular places in town. When I played it the first time, I found many of the spots as small idyllic landmarks, but when I tried it the second time, the charm was switched out with an eerie feeling, due to the game's many ghost stories. Playing in the dark gave certain challenges. I am afraid of the dark, so walking into a tree-covered cemetery wasn't my cup of tea. But I loved that this game doesn't hold back. The main story was excellent and historically relevant to some sites. The challenges were fun but the best thing was definitely the ghost stories (I loved the one with the hand!). I would recommend anyone to try the game - including locals. Although I know Tórshavn reasonably well, this game brought me places I had never seen before. I imagine others would have the same experience.
