Screenshot 2023-07-02 at 9.38.05 PM.png

Hi everyone 👋

 

This week, we're jet-setting across Europe in a game exploring some of its most iconic cities and must-visit spots. 🔥

 

Here's how it works - we've scattered clues for you below. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to decipher these hints and drop the name of the location in the comments. Heads up 🙌 the map number is a nifty guide to the whereabouts of the city/place, but it might not be pinpoint accurate. To keep the game fair and fun, let's stick to one guess per comment 😊

 

Got a travel tale or two about these places? Or perhaps your listing is right in one of these locations? We'd love for you to share your experiences!
