Having fun and learning! We have done 10 countrys so far and am really enjoying the game.
Its about time that there is a game that is not only fun but very educational about the world! Thank you thank you.
Great way to learn geography and about the world.
Visiting our 3rd country and loving the game. Ill admit we dont know other countries as well but we love how the questions are repeated eventually so that you get to know a country so if you miss-remember it because it will come up again. We do like how the jobs are questions about that job so you dont just get to know about other countries but also other trivia. You are getting a fun education about places and other things-love it! However, we do wish that when you help the locals-they say a little something in their language which put us at a disadvantage as English is the only language we know. The second country was Italy and what they said was in Italian so it was lost on us. Maybe we could have learned a little Italian if there was a little translation. Just a suggestion.
Love learning about all the countries.
We enjoy the game but so many of the answers are verifiably wrong. For example the game says Thailand has no national bird. But the national bird of Thailand is the Siamese fireback.
Its a fun game but there is no way to save the game.
This game is very good and educational we would let our kid play this.
Just started playing this and we really like it already. Fun and it really makes you think when you answer the questions. Good job.
Love this game love learning about all the countries educational and fun.
Its a fun game, but the dice run out far too quickly.
We are not a fan of games that dont allow us to turn off haptics. The constant vibrations drive us nuts.
Love the game but how do you turn off the sound?? Id give a higher rating if that was something we could figure out on our own without having to ask- lol.
Im a sucker for trivia and this game is the best. We love the graphics and learning about different places, collecting the trading cards and learning about famous monuments of each country. It really makes us want to travel more. It feels like Im getting a world tour.
We list all of our progress and everything we had bought because the app crashed and we had to delete and download again.
Good game but you should reduce the cost to get more dice below $5.
We were playing this game and we thought, this is a great concept we are learning a lot. Then we thought, this would be a great Bible game. You could travel around to all the places in the old and new testaments and people could learn about the Bible. Think about it. We think it would be a great game for people.
Terrific game! Its rare we find a game that we play everyday. Keep up the great work.
We LIKE THOSE TRIVIA QUESTIONS FROM THE GAME, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO TRYING NEW JOBS LIKE PERFUME MAKER, we AM NOT QUITE READY FOR THEM. PLEASE DONT GIVE ME ANY JOBS THAT we DONT UNDERSTAND. ID RATHER STICK TO THOSE TRIVIA QUESTIONS. Kenneth Huang. 3/05/25.
Very fun game but how do we turn off the sound? Thank you for the game.
Starting a new game is always intense but this game is so fun! Quick to play, great travel questions and places.
Love this game! Cant wait to play it each time the dice run out we wait patiently. Thank you for this game.we just dont know when we have finished one city to go to the next.
We are a Turkish-American who loves to travel, does research before his travel, and educates himself as much as possible; therefore, we thought this game would be a cute way for us to test our knowledge we have gained over the years. The game was really captivating at the beginning as we have a good memory, good at geography and history. In fact, we were moving so fast that we spent $30 for extra dices so that we can see what they will ask about our country of origin (Trkiye). Anyways, first few countries went very well in terms of capturing unique essence of the cities/countries. However, when we hit Honolulu/Hawaii, the city jobs became ridiculous. There are two jobs talking about movie casting and also a third one that is called Brad Pitt Manager; we personally think this is ridiculous to teach someone about what makes Honolulu a unique place. We know Hawaii has lots of movie production but 3 out of 9 is excessive even if the developer team struggled to find an occupation, they could have chosen an actor with Hawaiian background like Bruno Mars or even Dwayne Johnson instead of a white actor from Oklahoma. However, when we moved on the stanbul/Trkiye(where we were born and studied for college), the situation even became more ridiculous to capture the essence of what makes a city unique. First of all, as we studied Turkish history and culture to get a placement in our college, we came across a several factual errors. We were not even able to report them all. As far as we remember, there were only 2-3 out of 9 city jobs which was actually about Turkish culture. One of the city job categories included It starts with M and even if we ignore that this is nothing to do with an occupation. There was no question regarding Trkiye itself. All other jobs that can be found in anywhere in the world(Company Manager, Doctor, Dog Trainer, included anything about Trkiye but only(lets say 90%) America (what % of us households have dogs, how much money Steve Jobs made, what college Mark Zuckerberg went). We guess our question for the developer team to decide if this game is developed to increase cultural awareness and appreciation across the country or serve American audience as a trivia game and market accordingly. If we are going to answer only American based questions in another countrys location, what is the point of visiting US cities or even different cities within the US? You can make us travel across California and New York. Then, this game does not really appeal to the real backpackers around here world. Lastly, there is a bug in the game whenever an ad pops up, game sounds do not work unless you close and open it again. We appreciate the fact that you try to capture diversity in the game but maybe you should work with some local guides to develop the questions as some of the facts in the game do not represent the reality or is missing the nuance and it seems as if it is more like ChatGPT failure.
Game goes to 69 percent and wont load.
Its nice to finally have a game where you have to use your brain and youre not just clicking gems. What a great innovative idea for a game keep it up guys.
We love this game best game we've ever downloaded.
Awesome game Made us start over for a second time why? We were on level 16.
We Love playing this game so much.

Backpacker Go is very fun to play and learn about other cities and people.
